Back for its 4th year, the Methuen Youth Volleyball League (MYVL) is more than just a sports program — it’s a community movement. We are bridging the gap between gym class basics and elite-level competition, fostering a culture of teamwork, strategy, and lifelong athletic passion for the youth of Methuen. As volleyball continues its reign as one of the fastest-growing sports in the nation, MYVL provides the platform where middle school children transform into athletes.
The MYVL is the city’s premier program dedicated to introducing students in grades 5–8 to the sport. Originally launched as an intramural program across Methuen's four grammar schools, the league was sidelined by the 2020 pandemic. Upon its return, the MYVL expanded into a full league, opening its doors to all local residents regardless of which school they attend. This growth was made possible through the generosity of the Methuen High School Athletic Department, the support of Steven Angelo and the City Recreation Department, and the vision of MHS coach Matt Twomey. Since its inception, the league has reached impressive heights, and we remain committed to further expansion.
What Sets MYVL Apart?
- Beyond the Basics: We offer a competitive environment that far exceeds standard PE introductions.
- Elite Mentorship: Gain exclusive access to free clinics led by the Methuen Rangers and Head Coach Matt Twomey, connecting the next generation with varsity-level expertise.
- Strategic Play: Utilizing Reverse Co-ed (RCO) rules, we create a balanced, high-energy game that emphasizes tactical positioning and team synergy.
- A Sport for Life: We aren’t just teaching a season; we’re introducing a game our players can enjoy for a lifetime.
