MVSA Announces Our First Summer Grass Program!
MVSA will host weekly, grass doubles volleyball over the summer for girls and boys, ages 14 through 18 as of 09/01/2021 (U13-U17 for the past club season). This is intended to be informal and a relaxed departure from the rigors of your indoor Club/HS schedule. Please see our Summer Grass info sheet for more details.
