Sláinte’s Rising Youth Program (RYP) introduces volleyball to beginners, as well as builds on the current skills of intermediate players. Players in this program will be taught the fundamentals of volleyball in a fun and encouraging environment.
Welcome to the exciting world of Rising Youth Development program "RYP"! 🌟 Are you ready to unleash your potential and dive into a world of technical skills and personal growth? Well, you've come to the right place!
At Sláinte, we believe in providing beginners with an exceptional learning experience. Our fall program is all about honing your skills and building a solid foundation in your chosen field. We're not just another run-of-the-mill program that sends you off to endless tournaments. No, no, no! We do things a little differently here.
Picture this: it's a Friday night, and our RYP participants gather together for an exhilarating scrimmage. It's the perfect opportunity for these rising stars to familiarize themselves with their positions on the court. And guess what? They don't have to worry about the pressure of competing against another team just yet. That's right, it's all about self-improvement and getting comfortable with the game without the added stress.
Why do we do things this way, you ask?
Well, we believe it's a smarter use of our time and your parents' time too. We don't want your family dedicating an entire day just to watch them play serve ball (you know, where the team with the best serves usually takes the win) at this stage. Instead, we focus on the development of your skills, fostering a love for the game, and building camaraderie among our RYP family.
And here's the exciting part—our program is bursting with energy and participants! We're big enough to run internal scrimmages against each other. That means you'll have plenty of opportunities to showcase your newfound talents, learn from your peers, and have a blast on the court.
Winter season brings a whole new level of excitement. On the last Friday of every month, we gather our RYP warriors and divide them into teams. Each team proudly sports a different pinny color, ready to battle it out on the court. It's an epic clash of skills and determination, where friendships are forged and rivalries are born.
So, if you're ready to take your technical skills to the next level, make new friends, and unleash your inner champion, join us at the Rising Youth Development program. Together, we'll embark on a thrilling journey of growth, teamwork, and endless possibilities. Don't miss out on the chance to become the best version of yourself.
Practices are two hours on the weekend. This program is meant for boys and girls from 1st through 8th grade (7-14 years old).

DYNAMO SQUAD TOURNAMENT GROUP
2024 Dynamo Squad is meant for boys and girls from 5th through 8th grade (10-14 years old).
Starting in the Winter 2024 season, our Rising Youth Program (RYP) will continue to be offered in the fall and winter months. The focus during the fall will be on building fundamental skills, with the ultimate goal of creating the Dynamo Squad, our new and revamped developmental tournament teams, in the Winter session.
The Dynamo Squad will be a group of players, carefully selected based on their advanced beginner skill level. These selected players will practice separately from the Winter RYP Group, within their own age group. The Dynamo Squad members will be given the opportunity to participate in tournaments, showcasing their skills and competing against other teams.
To ensure a high level of commitment and dedication from the Dynamo Squad members, attendance will be closely monitored at every practice session. We understand that other commitments may arise, and we value the importance of balance in children's lives. However, to be considered for tournament play, players must attend a minimum of 75% of the practices leading up to each event. This will also ensure that players who consistently attend practices can execute plays effectively during tournaments, leading to a more rewarding experience for all.
As an example, let's consider an age group OF 12 year old with 30 players. If there are four practices before a tournament and a player misses more than one practice, they will not be invited to participate in the tournament. However, they are welcome to continue attending practices for further skill development.
Each month, we will restart this process, evaluating attendance and inviting players to participate in the tournaments accordingly. In an ideal scenario where all 30 players attend all practices, we will field three teams for the tournament. The number of teams formed will depend on how many players meet the baseline attendance requirement.
We believe that this restructuring will enhance the growth and performance of our young athletes, allowing them to flourish both on and off the field. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to a successful and rewarding season with the Dynamo Squad!
