Clinics
The Lewisburg YMCA is offering a 4-week co-ed volleyball clinic beginning November 15. Participants will learn more about the fundamentals of volleyball and focus on passing, setting, serving and hitting. The clinic will include plenty of fun drills, contests, and competitions for the kids to enjoy! Here’s a great way to improve skills, make new friends and have a lot of fun.
Volleyball Tournaments
Join the Lewisburg YMCA for a Power, Competitive, or Recreational volleyball tournament. The “Power” tournament is the highest level of competition, “Competitive” is the next highest level, and “Recreational” is the least competitive for those looking to just have fun.
Adult (16+) Open Gym Volleyball
We will be hosting Adult (16+) Open Gym Volleyball every Friday evening from 5-7 PM this summer. Feel free to bring your friends, family members or co-workers to have fun by playing pick-up volleyball and to get your workout in! Open-Gym Volleyball will only be $5 per person for each week and the volleyball nets will be put up with volleyballs available to use, but feel free to bring your own. Two courts will be available each night.
