Juniors Development League

Develop key technical skills, foster teamwork, and compete in modified tournaments during the club season. Registration opens Oct 2nd!!

Program overview

The 2024 and 2025 juniors league program was a great success, and we look forward to an improved program for 2026. New this year includes starting earlier, has additional weekly practices not provided by other clubs, and has plans to have multiple inter-vibe-location scrimmages in addition to the real tournaments.

Vibe’s junior league program for girls ages 9-12 (born after to June 30th, 2013) fills the space between recreational/development programs and a long-term club commitment. This 6-month program provides all the key technical skills necessary to play the game, groups girls of equal age/skill/ability into teams, teaches team skills and synergy, and allows them to compete as a team against other teams/clubs in five WCVBA tournaments throughout the January-May season.

Teams are coached by high level club coaches with assistants knowledgeable about the game.

This year’s program starts mid-November with two practices per week. Our hope is to have multiple teams at all our four locations for convenience, excellent training, and competitive fun. Our locations include Walnut Creek, Alamo, Orinda, and our newest location in Concord.

This program has a lower level of commitment than a full club team program but prepares athletes for 2026-27 club teams and develops the foundation for a lifelong enjoyment of this game.

We can add girls to the program during the year as needed/if requested with a pro-rated fee.

Registration for the 2026 season is now open
