2025 Fall Volleyball Programming

Fall Volleyball program offerings

(programs offered for grades 3-4, 5-6, 7-8)

ERAA Volleyball offers Fall programming across multiple age groups. Find your player’s grade group below for specific programming details.

*Boys Volleyball - New*

With Boys Volleyball a Minnesota State High School Sport, our Fall program is open to boys as well! We know this is a growing sport and we support all players.

Recreational volleyball: We will work WAA and CGAA after registration closes to determine if we will have boys only teams or co-ed teams. if there are enough boys, an all boys team will be formed to play against other all-boys teams. If not, they will be dispersed throughout the teams.
Competitive volleyball: Teams will be formed based on evaluations and how they perform.

Please note that even if we have no boys participating in our program, it is possible that ERAA teams will play against co-ed or all-boys teams. Per JVA guidelines, boys are allowed to play in girls tournaments up until the U12 level.
