Levels

Play is offered at numerous levels to afford players of differing abilities and competitive interests opportunity of equal playing conditions. Please refer to the Volleyball Player/Team Rating System to get an idea of where your team should play. However, as with any adult sport league, it is sometimes difficult to determine which level would best fit a team’s interests. Please remember, teams that won their division last spring should move up one level of play this season.

Limited space is available in each league. Each level will be filled on a first-received basis with preference given to teams with over half Ames residents.

Non-Residents

The Ames Parks and Recreation Commission and City Council established a $15.00 non-resident fee for all adult athletic league participants residing outside Ames city limits. Non-residents do not pay City property taxes, yet utilize City facilities and programs; therefore, the Commission and Council determined that an additional fee should be assessed. This $15.00 shall be paid for each softball season (summer and/or fall) a non-resident player participates in at the time league fees are submitted.
