SLS Jrs Divisions Explained

  • Club 12u-14u: This division is for mid- to beginner-level teams within the age group.
  • Open 12u-14u: This division is for high-level teams within the age group.
  • Net Height 12u-14u Boys & Girls: The USAVB net height is the same for 12u girls & 12u boys (6’ 11 1/2”) and the same for 14u girls & 14u boys (7’ 4 1/8”). For this reason, SLS will combine girls, boys, and coed teams in the 12u & 14u divisions. Players should register for the appropriate division (club or open) based on skill level, see above for details.
  • Net Height, 16u-18u Boys & Girls: The USAVB net height increases for the 16u-18u boys division (7’ 11 5/8”) compared to the net height for 16u-18u girls division (7’ 4 1/8”), so boys and girls teams will play separately for these divisions. (No coed teams allowed for these divisions.)
