Can you tell me how many feet the 12u can come in off the service line to serve |
It is HIGHLY recommended that all Great Lakes tournaments for the 12 and under division use what is called the "Volley Lite" ball. This is a much lighter ball that helps the younger age kids find success with serving and passing. When this ball is used there is no step in allowed. When this ball is NOT used a step in would be allowed- however a specific distance is no longer listed in the rule book. The old guideline was a max of 6'. |
| Juniors |
If a player attends more than one club tryout and earns a spot on a team at each of these clubs, how much time do they "legally" have before making their decision to commit to one club? |
Each club is run as a separate business and has their own time limits to commit. The Region understands the difficulty for the Club to hold positions for a player without a committment as well as the players situation wanting to make sure that they find and are accepted to a club that fits their needs. It is a catch 22 situation for all. Questions concerning committing to a club should be addressed to the particular Club Directors |
