Girls in grades 6-8 are invited to join the Wheaton 13U or 14U short-season middle-school club teams that play from March 4 to May 11

The Serve City middle-school girls volleyball short-season program is ideal for sixth-, seventh- and eighth-grade girls who either are new to club volleyball, don't have time to commit to a full club season, play other sports in addition to volleyball or only want to participate in a short-term season.

Sign-ups are taken on a first-come, first-served basis, so register today at www.servecityvolleyball.org/shortseason.

The Serve City short season offers quality coaching, player skill development, valuable tournament experience, an exciting team environment and Serve City's unique mix of excellence, relationships and love for the game.
