JUNIORS NON-TRAVEL - FOR 6TH-8TH GRADERS
The Juniors Program is primarily for 6th-8th graders, although 9th graders can participate with Director approval on a case-by-case basis depending on available space and the time of year. 6th graders are encouraged to participate in Juniors instead of the Lite during winter or spring sessions, and the Lite in summer or fall. The program usually runs on one court, and is designed to help both beginner and intermediate level players grow.

YOUTH LITE - FOR 3RD-5TH GRADERS
The Lite Program is the official youth training and development program of LAVA South, designed to give young athletes a taste of volleyball in a encouraging environment that mixes quality skills training with lots of fun games to build a passion for this wonderful sport. The program is coached by professional, paid coaches; it is not volunteer-based and, as such, the training value and player growth is significant.
