Fall Sports Registration is currently underway !
New this fall to our lineup is the inaugural season for our Volleyball program. After having nearly 80 girls at our second annual volleyball camp, It reassured me to make this program happen.
Volleyball will have an introductory level for the 7-8 year old girls that will be instructional only with the possibility of some games if we have enough participants. The registration costs for this age group is $40 members and $50 for non-members. All other age levels from 9-14 years old will have practices and compete against each other and also possibly HOV in Lynchburg’s rec program. The price for registration for older girls is $60 for members and in-town residents and $70 for non-members who live out of town.
Soccer and Softball also return to the fall programs we offer. Softball will be offered for girls aged 4-12 and Soccer will be co-ed for ages 4-17.
For Softball, all girls will be required to wear a face guard for games and practices. It is a Dixie rule.
The Altavista Area YMCA does not have Fall Teeball, however Motley is preparing to offer it. Their registration will open August 1st and for those of you have boys that are teeball age I will pass along the information to you all once I get it from Motley.
