Volleyball

Our program is starting its sixth season (second with multiple teams participating). The teams play in the Fall and are made up of a maximum of 12 players, six of whom are on the court at a time.


There are two local divisions in our Area: Traditional (the Warhawks) and Modified (the Nighthawks). Our teams have advanced to the Fall State Games in Virginia Beach and won Gold or Silver at each tournament. The sport is great fun and great exercise.

Season

Currently we have two competitions in our season. In late September we participate in the Special Olympics Fall Extravaganza in Shenandoah, and we compete at the Fall State Games in Virginia Beach.

**Registration for the 2023 Volleyball Season is Closed (the Warhawks roster is full, and the Nighthawks are taking a year break.**
