NCVA Youth Fall Competition League

The NCVA Fall Youth League has been canceled. We will be hosting Spring Youth League starting in December 2023.

Youth/Fall Competition League (YFCL) tournaments will be offered in the following age groups to introduce younger athletes to the sport of volleyball: 3rd/4th, 5th/6th, 7th/8th and 9th Grades.

All participating players require a full NCVA membership to compete in YFCL.

Teams may sign up for the League online in TM2Sign (TM2). Registration deadlines can be found on the table below.

Teams will be accepted after the deadline, based on space available.
Please contact [email protected] with your request, if after the deadline.

Team Registration fee is $100.00 per tournament day for YFCL, and teams can register for individual  tournament days, instead of the entire league.

 Rosters will be open for editing before each league day, so you can add new players at any point as long as they have the appropriate membership to participate.

How does Youth League Work?

Tournaments will consist of pool play only. If 3-team pools are used, cross over matches will follow pool play. All YFCL days are scheduled to begin at 9:00 AM and end by 3:00 PM.

If play cannot be completed by 3:00 PM, and the Facility is requiring participants to leave the site by 3:00 PM, the Tournament Director may change the scoring method to one set to 25 points, which then teams will switch sides when one of the teams scores their 13th point.
If there is no time restraint from the Facility, the teams are welcome to complete their scheduled play past 3:00 PM.  
 
Tournament formats may change from league day to league day due to the number of entries received. Points will not be given for YFCL.
 
YFCL will have the following rule differences:

  • Serving:
    • For the first serve of the match, player must start behind the end line
    • If the player is unable to make their serve over the net on the first attempt:
    • Player may re-serve and
    • Player is allowed to take a step into the court
    • If a player can jump serve, they may not step in or re-serve
    • If a player serves over the net and it goes out, they may not step in or re-serve
    • If the served ball becomes in play, regardless of the result, no re-serve is allowed
  • 3rd/4th and 5th/6th grade players:
    • This division uses times matches
    • 35 minutes each match, switching sides after 15 minutes
    • Officiating team should start score over at 15-minute switch
    • Team with the most points at switch and/or end wins the set
    • The result is recorded by sets, not matches
    • All final pool results are done by set percentage
    • Warm-up time is not included in the 35-minute match
    • A limit of three (3) serves in a row, then side-out, without awarding a point
  • 7th/8th and 9th grade players:
    • This division has a two (2) set cap
    • The result is recorded by sets, not matches
    • All results are done by set percentage
    • A limit of six (6) serves in a row, then side-out, without awarding a point
  • At each event there is a 20-minute break between the second and third matches of the tournament, however, the teams may decide to go ahead and play if they use a four (4) team pool as breaks are built into the format.
  • All sets will use rally scoring.
