Ball Kids Sign Up
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – Calling all young Illini fans! The University of Illinois Division of Intercollegiate Athletics is looking for new members to join the Fighting Illini Ball Kids program for the 2017 season.
Being a Fighting Illini Ball Kid gives you the best seat in the house to watch your favorite Fighting Illini players while helping to make sure we give the players from both teams the best experience possible. To join the Fighting Illini Ball Kids program, you must:
- Be between 4th and 8th grade
- Show up 45 minutes prior to the start of the match and be able to stay until the end
- Be able to retrieve and return balls in a timely manner
- Sweep on court between stoppages
We also accept local youth teams! If your team is interested, please have your coach contact us for more details.
It is highly recommended that all children who are interested and/or selected to become ball kids attend the Orange & Blue Scrimmage on Aug. 19 at 7 p.m. for training. Ball Kids and one parent/guardian will receive FREE admission to any volleyball match that the child is scheduled to work. All other family and friends will need to purchase tickets through the Illinois Ticket Office (1-866-ILLINI-1).
