Description

  • Volleyball - Varsity

    2019 - 2020
    Head Coach: Jane Thomas

         With one of the first school-based volleyball programs in the area, Athens Academy enjoys a strong and successful history.  In preparation for deep runs in the playoffs, including many trips to the final four, we traditionally schedule a rigorous level of non-Area opponents.
         So that our athletes receive quality instruction with a realistic opportunity for playing time, the size of teams in some sports is limited. Students "try out" for teams. Although there is no guarantee that a student will be selected for a specific team, the number and variety of offerings provide many opportunities for each player.
