All players and coaches should have on their “Laker Nation” t-shirts and all the girls should have their uniforms.

I will be taking team photos, individual photos and one big club photo.

The program is geared towards girls and boys ranging from ages 8-12.  It is a modified version of the volleyball game intended to allow children to learn the skills while still having fun and experiencing success.  This program is ideal for any child who may want to play for their school or club in the future.  It is also great for any child looking to try the sport or even just to get out and be active.  The start date for the program is January 4th, 2010.

For more information and to register visit www.minivns.org.  Please direct any questions about the program to admin@minivns.org.
