Winter 2025/2026 Galloway PAL 4th - Grade Volleyball
Our 4th - 6th grade volleyball program starts this coming Monday, December 1st and will run each Monday through the first week of March when the school is open. We train at Galloway Township Middle School starting promptly at 6pm and ending at 7:15pm.
Please bring your young athletes to Galloway Township Middle School (GTMS) a few minutes before 6pm, dressed and ready to begin training. The address for GTMS is 100 S. Reeds Road, Galloway, NJ and you pass two other schools before you get to GTMS at the very end of Reeds Road. The gym entrance is on the left side of the building as you are driving in.
Tee shirts, sweats or volleyball spandex (girls) and gym shoes are required. Knee pads are recommended; an example of the type of kneepad used for volleyball is below:

Jewelry is not allowed for safety reasons so have your kids leave their earrings, necklaces, watches, wrist bands, etc. at home. Also, have them bring a water bottle; there is a filling station outside the gym in the hallway. Other than water, no food or drink is allowed in the gym.
Drop your young athlete off in the GTMS gym a few minutes before 6pm and you can return to pick them up promptly at 7:15. They will play every Monday when the school is open until mid- March. We are off for Winter Break, MLK and Presidents Day and a schedule will be posted on the www.gallowaypal.org website at this location:

The format will be clinic-style with athletes being taught beginner-level fundamentals each week and then allowed some time to play where they can use the new skills that they have learned. We are sold-out at maximum capacity, so we will not be accepting any additional players. There is very little spectator room at GTMS, so if you are able to drop your athlete off and come back to get them promptly at 7:15, it would be appreciated.
The Head Coach for this age group is myself, Phil Kening, and I will be assisted by local high school volleyball players. This is our 27th year of doing PAL Volleyball.
