Fall - House & Travel
Welcome to Rogers Area Youth Volleyball Association (RAYVA)! Our Fall Volleyball Program offers opportunities for athletes of all skill levels, from beginners learning the game to experienced players looking for a higher level of competition.
House Volleyball (Grades 2–8) is designed to introduce and develop volleyball skills in a fun, positive, and encouraging environment. Players practice once a week, learn the fundamentals of the game, and participate in scrimmages with other local teams when available. No tryout is required, making this a great option for athletes who are new to volleyball or want to continue building their skills.
Travel Volleyball (Grades 5–8) is a tryout-based program for players seeking more competitive play. Travel teams practice one to two times a week and compete against other metro-area associations during five Saturday competition dates throughout September and October. Athletes who are not selected for a Travel Team are automatically placed in the House Program, ensuring every player has the opportunity to participate.
Both programs provide athletes with a fun, developmental volleyball experience while emphasizing skill development and a love for the game.
