Games do not begin until Nov. 12; schedules are available online through the recreation department link at www.townofpagosasprings.com. Parents who have not yet heard from a head coach should call the office to obtain roster information and practice schedules. Please note that registration for the 9-10 and 11-12 divisions will begin in mid-November; the season for these divisions will not begin until early January.

Volleyball
Due to a lack of adequate gym space, this year’s youth volleyball season for ages 9-12 has been postponed until next spring.
The tentative plan is to have registration begin in February and the season to begin sometime in late March or early April (immediately after the youth basketball season for ages 9-12).
