JR PREMIER IN-HOUSE LEAGUE
Boys & Girls Grades 3-8
.jpg)
OUR POPULAR JUNIOR PREMIER PROGRAM is a fun, cost effective way for players in Grades 3-8 to learn or enhance volleyball skills in a team based setting. Practices are held at Premier Academy twice per week for 1.75 hours. Players are eventually divided onto teams with a team coach and each team competes in the Northwest Ohio in-house youth league on 6 Mondays (with the exception of Fall 2 Session and Summer Session). Participants do not need to have any volleyball experience to play in Junior Premier. We do not hold tryouts and we do not make cuts for Junior Premier teams. Players are divided by grade:
3-4th (Youth teams)
5-6th (Middle School teams)
7-8th (Jr High teams)
**7-8th Graders on OHSAA teams cannot participate on any other team at the same time in the Fall
Junior Premier Program has three seasons; each season runs for 8-9 weeks
​
Practice/Uniforms are included in fees. Players must wear navy spandex/shorts, knee pads and tennis shoes and bring a water bottle to all practices and games.
