House Volleyball Dibs

DIBS requirement for the 2024 House season are 2 hours per athlete. 

Below is a list of some basic guidelines and expectations for DIBS/volunteering for the 2024 house season:

1. Please arrive 10 minutes before the start time of the game/practice you are volunteering for. This will ensure that all questions you may have are answered prior to start time. 

2. Please remember that this is a recreational volleyball league. There are children who have never played before, so please be patient and kind. We want this to be a positive experience for all of our families. 

3. Players in grades 3/4 are allowed to serve from the 10 foot line, as well as 5/6 as needed. If players are able to serve consistently from the back line, they are expected to do so. 

4. Please do not bring siblings to DIBS hours. We would like to limit distractions as much as possible. The positions you are volunteering for are vital to the success of our players. 

5. You are free to sign up for any of the DIBS slots. However, if you have never been a referee or line judge before, please watch the videos below prior to your time slot. 

6. There will be more DIBS opportunities in October if you do not get to sign up for September. October slots will be added to sign up genius by September 15th. 

7. Please be mindful that there are many families who will be signing up for DIBS. These will be filled on a first come first serve basis. Once September slots are filled, there will not be any additional DIBS opportunities before October. In the event this changes, we will communicate it out at that time. 

8. The last chance to complete DIBS hours will be 10/31, which is the conclusion of the 2024 in house season. 

9. We expect all players and families to abide by the Lord of Life use rules. 

10. If you have questions prior to completing your DIBS hours, or you are unable to make it due to unforeseen circumstances, please reach out to araavolleyballev@gmail.com as there may not always be a board member on site. 

We are working on final details of check-in for DIBS hours with Lord of Life staff. There will be more to come on this, so please keep an eye out for an email update. If check-in is not completed, you may not receive credit for hours completed.

House Volleyball

ARAA Volleyball offers a co-ed fall house league placing emphasis on basic rules of the game, skill development, fun and equal play.  House leagues are a great introduction to volleyball- ideal for those who are trying volleyball for the first time and for returning players who enjoy what house volleyball has to offer.

- Boys in 3rd through 7th grade

  • Players are coached by volunteer coaches/parents. 
  • Practices and games are used to teach rules of the game,  passing, setting, hitting and serving.

Fall House Volleyball volunteer coaches needed!

Our volunteer coaches are vital to the success of our house volleyball program.  Volleyball experience or knowledge is not necessary as this is an introductory league.  ARAA Volleyball's goal is to assign 2 coaches to each team who would share responsibilities. Skills and rules coaching clinics hosted by Anoka High School Volleyball and ARAA Volleyball are provided, age appropriate practice plans/drills are distributed and each coach will have access to online coaching videos.  

Volunteer today and  support your local community through this fun and rewarding coaching opportunity! Sign up to coach during player registration or email araahousevolleyball@gmail.com  if you are interested. 

All coaches involved in ARAA are required to have yearly background checks completed.
