EP/ShakopeeLeague Sign Up

EP/Shakopee League Sign Up Instructions: 

1. Only 1 partner signs up the team. The partner that signs up is the team Captain and the team will be named after their last name.

2. Team Captains are responsible for:

- Communicating the weekly league schedule to their partner(s).

- Finding a substitute player for any dates that the Captain or her partner will miss. Captains can ask EP Beach players, club, or high school teammates. Coach Steph will help after you have tried your best to find a sub on your own. 

3. The league is 2 on 2, but teams can have more than 2 players on their team. This could be helpful if 1 of the players can only attend part time.

General Concepts

Courts will be divided by skill level and are open to boys and girls.

Net will be set to co-ed height, 2s sand rules will be applied.

Players wear shirt/tank top and pants/shorts (no swimsuits and shirts are required).

Register as a single or with a partner. 

Each practice will work on volleyball skills that translate over to the indoor game. We will end each session with some type of competition.

Players can expect to improve their all-around skills, conditioning and volleyball IQ while playing EP Beach.

City and State COVID guidelines will be enforced and emailed out prior to the start of the season.

Sign up for tournaments will open April 15^th and be first come, first serve. All registered players will get an email with the link to sign up. Tourney sign up will open to non-EP Beach 2 weeks prior to the tourney only if there is space available.
