BAA Volleyball Program Overview:

The Bloomington Athletic Association delivers fun, affordable, and safe youth sports experiences fueled by our passionate volunteers. Our Volleyball program provides girls from 3rd grade – 12th grade and boys from 9th to 12th grade the opportunity to develop in the areas of sportsmanship, teamwork, and strengthening motor skills all while having fun in a family-friendly atmosphere.

Volunteers:

For our volleyball program, volunteers are needed as coaches, assistant coaches, scorekeepers, and more. Check-in at sign-ups or register to volunteer online today!

COACHING: As always we are completely dependent on you as parents to help make this sport the best it can be by volunteering your time as a head coach, assistant coach, scorekeeper, or referee. What better way to be involved with your children than to be a part of their team during the season? Without you, we cannot run this program!
