PAL Volleyball

SSM Volleyball is open to all girls registered as parishioners and currently enrolled in St. Stephen grade school or Religious Education programs in grades 3-8. We welcome athletes of all abilities, including multi-sport athletes.

Registration for the 2026 season is now open. The registration deadline was Friday, May 1st. Per-student player fees are $100.00 (Grades 4-8), $120 (Grade 3). Registrations received after May 1st are subject to a $25.00 late registration fee.

All new 3rd-grade players will purchase a short-sleeve dri-fit t-shirt uniform for $20 rather than the more expensive longer-sleeve uniforms worn by older student-athletes. This short-sleeve uniform style will carry with this age group through 5th grade, at which point they will transition to the more expensive long-sleeve uniform style currently worn by older student-athletes in our program. The $20 uniform cost is reflected in the registration cost for 3rd-grade players.

Those players in 4th through 8th grade will continue to wear the long-sleeve style uniform given all returning players will have already purchased this uniform previously. New players in 4th through 8th grade will be required to purchase the long-sleeve uniform style as well in order to match their teammates ($45). Orders for these uniforms will be taken at a later date and is not included in the registration price for 4th through 8th grade.

Tryouts (times subject to change) will be held at St. Stephen the Martyr as follows:

Notes About Tryouts:

• Everyone makes a team. This is for placement only! 
• Please check in 15 minutes prior to the start time.
• Tryouts will run approximately 45 minutes per grade.
• YOU CANNOT SHOW UP AT A DIFFERENT TIME! If you cannot make the tryout for your upcoming grade, we understand and will do our best on placing girls for the best fit!  
• Parents are not allowed in the gym to watch. 
• Try to wear a plain white t-shirt. We will PIN numbers on the girls.

Practices and games start in August.

None of this is possible without our volunteer coaches! Please consider helping out as a coach or assistant coach and let us know in advance if you are interested in helping out.

I will provide additional information as it becomes available. If you have any questions, please email me at ssmvolleyballteam@gmail.com.
