do I play?

South VB – MAKE STATEYou may feel your daughters best chances for

college volleyball are to play a certain position. You may be correct but that is not our primary focus. Our objectives are found in our mission. Our goal regarding volleyball is to win a State Championship with the players that live in our community. Your daughter will be asked to do what the coach feels is best for the team, program & school. We assist in the college process but it’s not our main objective.

Your daughter may be trained to play a position that they don’t always play in club. These decisions are made by the coaching staff and will be communicated with your daughter.

BSS – Volleyball

Our main objective is not necessarily to get players to college. However, it is fortunate is that college coaches want athletes from successful HS programs. Overall, these athletes understand and have experienced loyalty, commitment, community and school pride.

We can’t recruit players for positions of need.

We must fill our needs with the talents of those who walk through our doors.

Let’s talk about South VB
