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.

Do you enjoy playing volleyball and looking to play in a more competitive setting?  ARAA Volleyball offers winter Junior Olympic Volleyball!

ARAA JO Volleyball was created to provide a competitive program at a reasonable fee.  This league is designed for 4th through 12th graders who are looking to further their skills and knowledge of the game in that competitive setting.  Our program is open to volleyball players in the Anoka High School attendance area.  Players outside of this attendance area are welcome to try out, but priority will be given to athletes living in the Anoka High School boundaries.   

• Advances players knowledge of the game and skills through officiating training,  practices, play dates and tournaments.
• Tryouts in November will determine the team placement of all players. Cuts may occur.  There will be no make-up tryouts and walk-ins are not accepted.  
• The season  runs from December through March. 
• Ideal season length for athletes who are involved in a spring sport. 
• Players will be coached by experienced coaches.
• Our goal is a maximum of 10 players placed on a team. Tryout numbers and coaching will be the deciding factors. 
• Greater emphasis to players and parents on team commitment when compared to house leagues.
• Equal play is not guaranteed as this is a competitive league.
• Players are required to learn officiating and scorekeeping responsibilities.  
• Members of the Junior Volleyball Association (JVA) under USA Volleyball.
