The philosophy of The Catholic Metro Volleyball League (CMVL) is to provide an environment rich in sportsmanship and fair play while affording girls in grades 5-8 the opportunity to play volleyball free from tryouts or cuts. 

We want to ensure that every girl within the CMVL has a positive athletic experience. This is paramount to our success

We are a participation based instructional and semi-competitive league parallel to, but mutually exclusive from competitive middle school athletic programs. 

Our league is founded on the beliefs and teachings of the Holy Catholic Church, and the governance of our league, as such, will benefit the interests of every child within our charge.

 


CMVL Rules 

CMVL has worked over many years to develop rules that allow children of all skill levels to participate in the church recreational program together. Our primary goal is the safety and happiness of the children. The league provides the rules in order to minimize the disruption of their happiness by actions of the parents.This is their game. 

They want to be a part of a team. 

They want to play with their friends and represent their school/church. 

They want an opportunity to compete and play. 

They want an environment of compassion and fairness. 

They want their parents to provide positive encouragement.
