Co-ed Fire League

Heat's Fire League

Why should my son or daughter join  Heat's Fire League?

  • Did your child try out for a club team but didn't receive an offer?  Worse yet, did you miss tryouts and now have to redeem yourself as a cool parent?  There is still an opportunity for you to score epic points with your 4th-12th grade son or daughter and get yourself back in the running for the "2023 Parent of the Year" award!  
  • Great opportunity for multi-sport athletes who are not interested in traveling volleyball club team commitment.
  • Less costly than travel club team volleyball.
  • Great way for your player to meet new friends from different schools.

How? Sign them up for Heat's Fire League, it's like a rec league.  It will give them 2 hours per week of working out, fine-tuning their volleyball skills, having fun, and in-person communication (not to mention will give their hand an opportunity to detach from their phone for a bit).  ;)

How do I know if Heat's Fire League is right for my child?  If your child has played some volleyball or hasn't played at all, this is a perfect opportunity for them.  Heat's  Fire League only meets for 2 hours per week.  (so if they also play basketball, this schedule can still work as we offer many different days of the week and times) This league is only for girls and boys who are not playing on a traveling club team currently.  (We want to give as many youth in the Fox Valley area the opportunity to play as possible). 

Can my child just sign up by themselves or do we need to already have a team formed? You do not have to have a team to sign up.  Teams will be formed based on practice availability and not skill.  As long as there is still room during that time slot/day of the week, all are welcome to sign up based on the corresponding grade level, see below. (we will max at 14 players per time slot.  Please choose your registration carefully as we will not be moving players around after they have registered.  We will only be able to remove them.)
