YC Youth Volleyball  was created to provide an opportunity for youth in the Yamhill Carlton community, to play volleyball in a safe and healthy environment.  We strive to offer a variety of opportunities for youth to play and develop skills and a love for the game.   Volleyball is available to girls grades 3rd-8th and focuses on developing strong volleyball student athletes.   Up to two boys may play on each team for grades 3rd-6th season teams and on the club teams (see details below).
