PYAA VOLLEYBALL INFORMATION

  • Most importantly, we want every player—regardless of skill level—to have a great experience, develop their skills, and grow their love for the game.

  • June Summer Skills sessions will be available for grades 3-12. Grades 5-6 will have 2 Different Options. 

  • June 3-12 Summer Skill Sessions will provide players who haven’t been on the court since last season a chance to get back into volleyball mode, build confidence, and prepare for evaluations.

  • June 5-6 Purple Summer Skills Sessions will provide Players with Advanced Skills and Club Experience a more competitive training environment. This is an opportunity to continue to get quality touches between the end of Club Season and continue through the end of PYAA season.

  • June 5-6 Silver Summer Skills Session: Designed for Grades 5-6 players who are just getting back in the gym. 

  • Our practices will begin approximately the 2nd week of school. (Following the PLSD Calendar)

  • Each team will have 1-2 practice per week. (Mon, Tues, Wed or Thurs)
  • We will hold weekly Friday Night Clinics (open to all players and coaches) starting the first week of practices.
  • Gameplay
  • First matches (games) will be on Saturday after the 2nd week of practices.
  • Matches will be held on Saturday mornings between 9AM - 3PM
  • A Match will consist of 2-3 sets and will not go longer than one hour.
  • Sets 1 and 2 will be played to 25-Win by 2 with a 20 minute time limit. 
  • If Score is Tied after 20 Minute time has expired. The next point will determine set winner.
  • If Set 3 is needed: It will be untimed, Play to 15-Win by 1.
  • Our season ends the last weekend in October with a 2 day tournament.
  • All practices and games will be conducted in the PLSD facilities.
  • Registration
  • Registration can be completed online under tab "Registration Info"
  • During registration, in the SPECIAL REQUEST section, give us information such as; what nights your child CANNOT PRACTICE any other requests, etc.
  • Teams will be made based off of Evaluation Scores
  • We CANNOT GUARANTEE SPECIAL REQUESTS will be granted. This includes Coaching and Friend Requests. 
  • Fees must be paid for at the time of registration via credit card.
  • Like most recreational sports programs, PYAA relies on volunteers and we ask that all parents consider coaching, assistant coaching, assist with keeping score and being line judges during the matches.
  • If you're interested in coaching, please contact Shawn Quigley at [email protected] to register as a Coach. You will need to complete the Background Check and Concussion Certification. 
  • Be sure to follow us on Face Book to stay up to date on all the latest PYAA Volleyball info: PYAA Vball FaceBook

Unfortunately, it is too arduous on our volunteer board members to accommodate players who want to be with friends/specific coaches, etc. If you have more than one child playing PYAA sports or have a compelling special request, please send me an email ([email protected]) immediately following your registration and we will do our best to accommodate your situation. It is easier to accommodate special requests immediately following registration as when teams have been formed we can no longer make changes due to logistical reasons in preparation to start the season, such as ordering uniforms, etc.

Thank you!

FAQ's

Q: Do I need to purchase a uniform?
A: Your registration fee includes a dri-fit style "uniformed" t-shirt. Players can wear any comfortable shorts and clean, indoor (court) shoes.  Knee pads are recommended, but not required.

Q: When is the season?
A: The season starts shortly after PLSD schools begin classes in the fall and runs through the end of October/beginning of November.

Q: When are practices and how many practices a week?
A: There will be one practice night per week held for at least one hour. Once you are assigned to a team, you will practice at the same time on the same weekday, pending any schedule adjustments due to school/gym availability.

Q: When are games?
A: Games are held Saturday mornings/early afternoon, and start on the hour between 9AM and 3PM, and last for up to one hour.

Q: Where are practices and games held?
A: All games and practices are held in Pickerington Local School District facilities. Mostly between Harmon Middle School and Toll Gate Elementary/Middle School.

Q: My child doesn't attend Pickerington Schools, can they still play?
A: As long as you live within the bounds of the Pickerington School District, your child is eligible to play PYAA Volleyball.

Q: Is experience necessary?
A: No. PYAA accepts all players regardless of experience.  There is a question on the registration that asks experience level which we use to level-load the teams. This is another reason we ask that you don't request to be on teams with friends or with a specific coach.

Volleyball Resources

COLUMBUS AREA VOLLEYBALL CLUB INFORMATION & RESOURCES

PYAA Volleyball is a recreational program designed for kids who enjoy playing the game, no matter their skill level.  We offer fundamental skill development with much less of a time commitment than club or school volleyball. However, we encourage all kids to develop new skills and move to the next level when the time is right for them. We have developed a list of camps/clinics/and area club information to help families in moving to that next level!

All clubs are different in terms of travel, cost, and time commitment, so i strongly encourage anyone who is interested in competing at the club level to research all options to find the right fit for both your player and your family.  Reach out to club directors, someone you know who has played at the club before, or any of our Board Members. Ask questions! We are more happy to help and if we can't answer your questions, we will get you in touch with someone who can!

Most clubs offer year-round clinics/tune-up trainings, so it's never too early or late to contact them!

This is not a comprehensive list of the numerous Volleyball Clubs in our area, so as mentioned above, do your research to find one that fits everyone! Club Volleyball can seem overwhelming at first, but if your child is interested in playing at the next level, to include being competitive for the school teams, this is an important step in that direction. Please let me know if you have any questions -- [email protected]
