Program Essentials
These details apply broadly across the volleyball program. House and Select pages provide division-specific policies.
Age & Grade
Athletes are generally eligible at age 9 or older by the season’s cutoff date and register in their grade division. Younger-player requests are reviewed individually.
Team Size
The league aims for approximately 10–12 players per House or Select team. Actual team sizes depend on registrations, coaches, and gym availability.
Team Jersey
Reston Volleyball provides the team jersey after rosters are formed. Athletes provide shorts, socks, gym shoes, water, and optional kneepads.
Limited Capacity
Divisions move to a waitlist when full. A waitlisted athlete is notified if space becomes available, and payment is not taken unless the offered spot is accepted.

All Are Welcome
Most athletes live in Fairfax County, but players from outside the county may participate and are subject to an additional county-assessed fee.
