**Disclaimer: Please note that fairness and positive competition are a high priority in our program.  Thus, our league leadership reserves the right to alter team rosters/move players in order to balance teams if necessary.    We reserve the right to change age division break-ups based on participation numbers, up to and including the first assessment date.  Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

The New Life Sports staff is committed to making the Youth Volleyball program a quality league that seeks to accommodate the needs of those who choose to participate.  That is because each individual matters to our league, to our staff and to our church.  This is the reason that the All Out Sports program allows parents the opportunity to write in certain requests/preferences.  However, due to the large number of requests that we receive each season, it is impossible for our staff to fulfill every request. Here is how the requests are prioritized:
1) Health Issues/Special Situations
2) Family
3) Carpool and Transportation
4) Preferences

NOTE: NO JEWELRY DURING PRACTICES OR GAMES, SHORTS AT LEAST FINGERTIP LENGTH, KNEE PADS ARE RECOMMENDED. SAMPLE JERSEYS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO TRY ON AT SKILL ASSESSMENTS AND AT NEW LIFE CHURCH MAIN DESK MON-THUR 9AM-3PM  STARTING NOV 1 UNTIL DEC 3, IN ORDER TO ASSIST YOU IN ORDERING CORRECT SIZE.  THERE WILL BE A REORDER FEE ASSESSED FOR ANY JERSEYS NEEDING TO BE RE-ORDERED AFTER DEC 15.
