Youth Sand Volleyball League

UPDATED: Registration Deadline is Tuesday, June 3

Summer is on the way and if you close your eyes for a moment and imagine Klein Park in June, that refreshing vision will show you an active playground, great concerts, exciting baseball games and a perfect sand volleyball court waiting to be the scene of some thrilling action.

To that end, the Evergreen Park Youth Department is currently forming a Sand Volleyball League specifically for students age 13-17. And the teams are forming now!

“We want to have a Monday evening league for our teens and it will be a co-ed league,” stated Youth Department Director Pyeisha Allen. “All winter long, this was the feedback that we received,” she continued. “Students talked about having a volleyball league through our department and we are happy to offer it!”

The seven-week league will begin on Monday, June 9 with games starting at 5:30pm and will run through July 28 (no games on June 30). This will be a co-ed league, and leagues will be arranged so that there are an equal number of boys and girls on the court.

The fee is $350 per team, or $60 per person for Evergreen Park residents ($75 for non-residents). Teams or individuals can register in the Youth Department, located in the Community Center at 3450 W. 97th Street.

“If you have people with whom you would like to be paired, please let us know and we will do the very best we can to accommodate your request,” Ms. Pyeisha added. "It's a great way to get some friends together and enjoy the sport and the park."

The deadline of Tuesday, June 3 is quickly approaching, so interested students are asked to register ASAP. For more information, you can always call the Youth Department at (708) 229-3377.

This program by the Youth Department is but one of a handful of youth summer camps that is being offered. Other camps include Pickleball, Creativity, Sewing and Youth Fitness. You can read all about them here. You are sure to find something that you enjoy!
