New Junior Beach Volleyball Team Dominates Tuscaloosa; Expect Adult Inclusion Soon!

A new spring and summer coed sport is coming to Tuscaloosa. Northridge head volleyball coach Danielle Stephenson is bringing beach volleyball to T-Town. Stephenson, who has 17 years of high school coaching experience, will lead junior beach club volleyball session for ages 7-18.

Adults, don't worry: plans for an adult league will be coming as soon as June. "It's a similar game to indoor (volleyball), but also totally different in so many respects," Stephenson said. "You're only playing with one other person, your communication looks different, your technique, your strategies are totally different, but you're still learning the game of volleyball.

You're still harnessing those skills, just in a different way. " The junior league spring season will hold its first practice at 4 p. m.

March 25 at the Venue, located at 6052 Watermelon Road in Northport. The first practice will be free for anyone interested in the 7-18 age bracket. The spring season, which usually begins in February, will be shortened this year as the courts were getting their finishing touches last month.
