Portland Parks & Recreation Youth Volleyball League
Portland Parks & Recreation offers a recreational volleyball league each fall and spring for youth in 3rd through 12th grades. Established teams and individual players are invited to register for PP&R's youth volleyball program, which provides players an opportunity to learn and practice fundamentals, develop teamwork, and participate in match play in a recreational environment. Players in 3rd grade through high school are eligible to participate, and all skill levels are welcome. Each season lasts six weeks. Practices are once a week, and games are played on Saturdays.
Spring 2026 Registration is Open March 9 – April 10
Team registration for the spring 2026 co-ed volleyball season opens March 9 and closes April 10. Practices begin April 1, and games begin Saturday, April 11, and continue through May 9.

Practice is held at Beverly Cleary School, which is located at 1915 NE 33rd Avenue in Portland. A weekly game schedule is posted on this webpage each Thursday afternoon beginning April 9.
