GRAA Volleyball - Winter 2026 Programs
The GRAA Volleyball winter season consists of two options for boys and girls:
- GRAA Rec-League (In-town & Co-ed) for 7th and 8th Graders + experienced 6th Graders
- GRAA Developmental Program (Co-ed Clinic) for 3rd - 6th Graders
**SPECIAL NOTE FOR PARENTS**
Got 90mins? We could really use your help.
We have all heard it: “it’s not like when we were kids!” or “there needs to be more opportunities to try a sport for fun and just play.” We agree! And this is it!
GRAA Volleyball needs more parents to get involved! No volleyball experience needed. No coaching required. Just help supervise while our student-athletes run the fun.
Pick one shift or a few — whatever works for you!
Mondays: Open Gym (Grades 7–8, + experienced 6th)
Tuesdays: Developmental Clinics (Grades 3–6)
Fridays: Game Nights (Grades 7–8, + experienced 6th)
One evening. 90 minutes. A whole lot of fun for our kids.
No sessions during school breaks! Unfortunately, we will need to cancel sessions for which we do not have additional parental support.
If you are willing to volunteer, email volleyball@graa.org with the Subject Line: Parent Volunteer.
Please jump in and help keep Glen Ridge kids playing. We’d love to welcome you to the GR volleyball community!

- Games will take place on Friday evenings beginning Jan. 8th.
- No sessions will be held during school breaks.
