Youth League Information

Marion Magic will again be hosting an instructional Youth League this winter.  This will be an informal, instructional league geared towards beginning teams in the 9u, 10u, and 11u age groups. 

We will run the evening in a laid-back and instructional way allowing coaches to come out on the floor to help players as needed, move them around, and promote the teaching of the game.  We will also follow a 3-serve rule (no more than 3 consecutive serves before a sideout) and no scores will be kept. 

Games will be about 25-minutes with a running clock and around 3-minutes between games to clear the court, switch teams, start warm-up and then go with the next game.

As mentioned, this will be an instructional league geared towards beginning teams. Coaches, please keep that in mind when signing your teams up.

Cost: $150/team

Dates: January 9, January 30, February 13, February 27, March 6

Below is general information. Please scroll down for specific weekly schedules.

Format: All matches will be around 25-minutes long with a running clock to help keep things moving.  The team listed first on the schedule will be the home team and will have first serve.

***For all matches: maximum of 3 “points” earned per serve rotation.  After 3 “points” side out awarded.***

At the end of the 25-minute match, the clock will be reset to about 3 minutes to allow for teams to rotate and have a few minutes of shared warm-up, if desired.

Officiating:  There will be no working team to perform any officiating duties.  To keep with the instructional theme of the league, coaches are allowed to step out on to the court as needed to help the players with placement, rotation, substitutions, etc.  The shortened service line will be taped on the floor for awareness, but feel free to move your players as needed to assist with service.

The point of this league is to be instructional in format to help your team get some real game experience while still teaching some of the concepts of the game.
