Youth Volleyball
Purpose
Our purpose is to introduce youth to the sport of volleyball in a fun and challenging environment where they can experience the self-confidence found in learning a new skill and overcoming adversities.
What we do
Bel Air rec youth volleyball offers a Spring Clinic each year between mid-April and early June. The program offers a Spring co-ed clinic each year for girls in grades 5th to 8th, and for boys in grades 5th to 12th. Over 200 players are participating each year. We would like to have more parents and volunteers join our team to help us provide more programs in the future.

Exciting News! New Format for 2026!!!
We are excited to announce that Bel Air Rec Volleyball and Fallston Rec Volleyball have partnered to create the county's first inter-rec council volleyball league! Both Rec Councils will have 12 teams with an equal mix of beginner and advanced teams. The exact split will depend on the number of players deemed beginner vs advanced based on answers in the registration form. Teams will be coed. Only sign up for one rec council program based on schedule and location.

How do I know if my player should play at the advanced level?
If your player can serve a regulation volleyball (not the light ball used in 12U and under club volleyball) from behind the end line (no step in line) and over a women's height net (not the junior height used in 12U and under club volleyball) 8 of 10 times, your player may be ready for the advanced level.
Players who cannot serve as described above will be mismatched in the advanced division and may be moved to the beginner division. Club experience and rec experience will also be considered when forming teams. Up to two requests to be on a team with a specific coach or player can be requested but are not guaranteed. Siblings at the same level will be on the same team unless requested otherwise. We will absolutely not keep club teams together.
Who we are
We are a small band of local high school, club and rec coaches that love the sport and want to help grow the sport in our Bel Air community. We are always looking for more volunteers that share our same passion. In the future, our vision is to see future volunteers help us run additional programs.
