| Kid's Days/College Nights – More to Come |
 |
| Top teams and top-notch excitement were witnessed by USYVL players and family members when Pepperdine University, ranked #1 in the nation, battled California State University, Northridge (#7) on Thursday night at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. Of course, because this match-up was one of the USYVL Kid's Days/College Nights, players were offered four complimentary tickets. This perk gave players and their family members an opportunity to view some of the best volleyball players in the country. Aside from the pure excitement of watching high-level volleyball, there is no better way to learn the sport than to watch the technique and teamwork of these skilled players.
The good news is that many more USYVL Kid's Days/College Nights remain.
