How do I sign my child up?

What league do I sign my child up for?
The age groups are self explanatory.  Co-ed Farm (7 - 9), Girls Pre-Teen (10 - 12), Girls Juniors (13 - 14), Girls Seniors (15 - 18), Boys Juniors (10 - 13), and Senior Co-ed (14 - 18).   PLEASE NOTE - if we have the numbers we will try to split the boys program into two age groups 10 - 12 and 13-14.  SO GUYS START RECRUITING!  Our age determination date for Spring is April 1. 

How much will it cost?
The registration fee for Spring will be $45.00.  If you sign up late, there will be an additional $25.00 late fee.  We will provide practice balls, game balls, and a game jersey you will get to keep.  You will be responsible for any addtional items such as knee pads.  

Does my child need to know how to play volleyball?
The league is designed for players who are just learning the game.  NO PRIOR PLAYING EXPERIENCE IS REQUIRED.  Our goal is to let your child have fun while learing the basic skills and rules of the game. 

Can we sign up to play with friends?
Absolutely!  Our program is all about fun. We encourage each player to recruit their friends and we try to match all friend requests.  Unfortunately, we are limited to 12 players per team and we give priority to returning players, however, we try to meet all requests.  Simply note in the comments section of your online registration process the names of the friends you would like to play with or the name of a Coach you would like to play for.  If you sign up in person, just note your request on the registration form.  Want to play with new friends?  Just note that on the registration forms as well. 

When do we practice?
Practices are held at one of the elementary or middle schools located in the Great Neck corridor.  Practices are from 6:30 PM to 8 PM and from 8 PM to 9:30 PM.  We attempt to place the younger teams in the early practice slots.  Each team usually practices 1 day per week.

When do we play games?
Games will be held during the week at either Great Neck or Lynnhaven Middle Schools.  We play three matches each night at each location.  Games start at 6:30 PM, 7:30 PM and 8:30 PM.  We play 3 games per match. 

How can I help?
We always can use help.  Coaches are always needed.  We provide a coaches clinic at the beginning of the season to teach basic skills and drills.  Coaching is a lot of fun and it is rewarding to see the progress the players make from the beginning to the end of the season.  It will only take a few hours of your time each week.  An hour and a half for practice and 1 hour for the game.  PLEASE help us out if you can.  We have other functions you can help with as well.  If you are interested, please contact Jim Naquin at beachnacs@verizon.net.
