Fun and Friendly Competition
We love volleyball!
We really, really love volleyball!
There are many different opportunities to get involved in sports here at Gilbert UMC, but volleyball is a mainstay. Inspired by "The Machine" (or Rev. Gary Kennedy as he is also known), volleyball practices and matches are great way to fellowship, excercise, and have fun.
There are leagues for Junior High youth, Senior High youth,
and also for adults. All skill levels are welcome.
The East District volleyball season is almost upon us! Our church is gearing up for another fun season by forming teams and starting practices.
The Junior High teams have started practicing on Sundays from 12:30 to 2:00pm . This league is open to all youth currently in 5 th through 8 th grades. No previous experience is necessary. Games start on May 30 and will continue on Wednesday evenings through July. Our church will host the tournament on July 26 - July 27. Please contact Dan or Mary Vrana at 480-857-8221 with any questions.
