The London Sharks and the Ontario Volleyball Association have partnered to deliver Spikes Volleyball HOUSE LEAGUE as of the fall of 2016. London has never had a house league for those that want to play more volleyball than at school but are not ready or not interested in competitive travel volleyball.
The league will include three categories: 13U Girls, 15U Girls, 15U Boys (12-15 years old). Every team will practice and play twice a week at Supreme Courts with the London Sharks’ support and supervision. We are looking for parents/coaches to volunteer to coach their own kids’ teams.
School teams are encouraged to participate, as this will provide them with more touches and game experience for their different school leagues. Training for the coaches will be provided in partnership with OVA (Ontario Volleyball Association) under the Volleyball Canada program for youth development and the LTAD (Long-Term Athlete Development) Stages of the Canadian Sport for Life.
Please visit our website (www.londonsharks.ca) after June 27 for more information on how to register. Registration begins JULY 15. The cost of the program is $125 per player for 10 weeks. These are exciting times for youth volleyball in London! Please share the news!
