Frequently Asked Questions
Is the YNVA a non-profit or for profit company?
The YNVA is a 501 c-3 non-profit organization. The Internal Revenue Service and the State of Texas declared the Youth National Volleyball
Association a 501 c-3 under the Internal Revenue Code and Texas Franchise Tax effective August 4, 2008.
The Objective of the YNVA is to build positive character, and enrich the lives and health of youth through the promotion of Youth Volleyball.

What are the ages or grades of the youth who participate in the YNVA?
The YNVA determines participation by grades verses ages. The YNVA volleyball leagues and camps are for youth in grades 3rd thru 7th as of the
school calendar year. In some site locations the grades are 3rd thru 8th.
What makes the YNVA different from other Youth Volleyball Programs?
The YNVA programs are different from other Youth Volleyball programs because:
The YNVA is managed by professionals who have had decades of experience managing non-profit sports programs and coaching volleyball at a
professional and elite level. (See the biography of Founders and President/CEO). You will also find that the Youth Program is less expensive than
club volleyball programs. The YNVA believes in holding skill training and match play on the same day. This is a real time saver for parents and
children with busy schedules.
What is the basic format of the YNVA Program?
Young children participate once a week in a six week outdoor volleyball program. The first hour is for skill training and the last hour is for match
play. At sites where we have large participation, a tournament format may be conducted the last week. This is determined by the Coach/Site
Director.
Children have the opportunity to actively play the game of volleyball and parent coaches learn from highly skilled coaches.
