What is the Carpe Diem Youth League?

 
Carpe Diem Youth League is a training and play league to get the younger kids starting
to play volleyball at an earlier age and learn the fundamentals of the sport.
Specifically it is for any girl that is still in elementary school (GRADES 1-6).
In the spring of 2007 we had 140 girls in all age groups.
It was a tremendous success.
Our numbers dipped last year and we are doing what we can to get them back up. 
We are looking for a great turn out in 2009 due to the changes we have made to the
coaches that will be coaching in the league.

 Keep checking this website and looking for a brochure to be
delivered to your elementary school in March.
 



Here are some highlights of the league-

 
- We will use the Volley Lite ball and we will play on the youth height net.
- League practice will start up in the month of April each year.  
This year it will start on the week of April 13th, 2009.
- Practice will be once a week for 8 weeks lasting 1.5 -2 hours in duration.
- Practice will be in the evening (6 to 8 PM ish)so that they can play other school sports.
- Coaches will be high school coaches, middle school coaches, or players from
the local colleges teaching fundamentals and having fun. 
This year the coaches of the University of South Carolina
will be doing the downtown location. 

- Practices will be held at two locations this year-
the USC Competition Facility and in the Lexington area. 
You choose where you want to train.
- Starting in the 6th week there will be 3 play-dates of games where each team
will play against the other teams in their age group. Games will last less than 1 hour.
- The cost for the league is only $75 so it is affordable for everyone and a
great way to get your daughter involved in volleyball.
This includes all coaching, games, and a youth league t-shirt.
- Teams will be made up of age groups by grade (provided that we have enough
people to do so). This means that 5th and 6th graders will be put on a team
together and will play other 5th and 6th graders. 3rd and 4th together etc.
- Each player will receive equal playing time. This league is not for competition
only (although that is fun). It is for fun and fundamental development and to get
kids started in volleyball. They will have plenty of time for competition later or if
you think they are ready for competition then you can have them tryout for one
of our CLUB teams.
