Welcome to Cambridge Youth Volleyball! We are just starting up with our goal to provide a fun, safe, warm environment for young players to learn the game of volleyball. Middle-school aged players in and around Cambridge, MA, are welcome to join. No experience necessary!
Our summer session this year will be held from July 30 through August 17, 2024. Please register early to secure your spot. We will be closing registration once we reach the cap to avoid overcrowding the courts. Please read through the requirements carefully since this session is geared toward a targeted group of players. If you are unsure if this session will be right for your player, please email us before registering.
For the 3 weeks of the summer session, there will be a SKILLS-ONLY session and ADVANCED SKILLS/CONDITIONING/TEAM (ACT for short) session, 3 times per week. Tuesday sessions will be held at the RAUC gym, Thursday sessions will be held at the CSUS gym, and Saturday sessions will be held at the CRLS War Memorial Field House.
Skills-Only session (1hr):
This short session will be open for any players wanting to work on their skills. Advanced players who are trying out for the high school girls team this fall are encouraged to do the skills session and stay for the advanced skills/team session after.
Advanced skills/Conditioning/Team (ACT) Session (1.5hrs):
This session will be geared towards giving players trying out for the girl’s high school team time to condition and practice before their tryouts (Aug 19, 20, 21 for CRLS), much like the winter session for the boys team tryout prep. We will be restricting our registration for this session to players who are trying out for the girls high school team this August.
*Any players staying after the Skills-Only session but are NOT trying out for the girls high school team may help out in the drills but will not get any official playing time even if there is gym space available.
**High school players looking for community service hours instead of practice time, email cambridgeyouthvolleyball.org@gmail.com directly

Our Spring Session is FULL. Please use this form to get on our waitlist. We will contact you if a spot becomes available. Thank you!
This session will be run as a game-only session. There will be minimal instruction during the sessions, with coaches there to facilitate the games. This means players must be able to play productively in a game. They should be able to serve in, pass, and set well more than half of the time. If you are unsure if this session will be right for your player, please email us at cambridgeyouthvolleyball.org@gmail.com or complete our contact form before registering.
Our target age group for this session is 8th grade through high school, with priority given to 8th graders considering trying out for the high school team next year. Priority will be given to players in Levels 3 and 4 from last session. Due to the format for this session, 8th grade players in Levels 1-2 last season may register if they are considering trying out for the high school team, however, the players need to be aware that the levels on the courts will be strictly enforced to keep the level of play for the better enjoyment for all players involved, and players may move between levels only with the coaches discretion (evening out numbers on the court, or actual skill improvement).
All players registered during the winter session who came to the last few weeks of the session should note that their designated court number is their level number.
If you are looking to register an 8th grader who is considering trying out for the high school team next year, but did not register with us for the winter session, please contact us directly at cambridgeyouthvolleyball.org@gmail.com to schedule a skill assessment.
*For players in grades 6th-7th registered last session, players in Level 3 may register. For players in Level 2, please contact us directly at cambridgeyouthvolleyball.org@gmail.com for consideration (we can only accommodate if there is room after the 8th graders register).
