2025 Volleyball Key Dates

2025 Registration will open on January 1st. BAA Volleyball has limited court space available; therefore, we made a hard decision to prioritize residents of Bloomington or students of BPS over other city residents. If we reach program capacity, non-residents/students will be removed from the program, and a full refund will be issued. Once program capacity is reached, registration will close, and we will open a waiting list; we do not guarantee spaces will be available until the registration close date.

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 – 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. We are looking for level directors and a tournament coordinator, contact Christa at volleyball@baaonline.org for details!

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!

BAA Tournaments and Playoffs:

BAA Playoffs and Tournaments are played for grades 3 – 12. They are an opportunity to celebrate the players’ and team’s progress since the beginning of the season and have some healthy competition. Parents/Guardians will be notified in advance of the schedule’s final playoff week information. Playoffs will most likely be held this year during the week, with limited play on the weekend of May 2nd.
