2024 Outlook: The Green Wave Volleyball team is coming off of a highly successful 2023 campaign. The team is extremely young and inexperienced having graduated nine seniors and returning only two players with significant varsity playing time. Despite its youth, the team is working extremely hard to build chemistry and confidence and is looking forward to continuing the tradition of the program’s success.
The team will be led by a strong senior group who have shown true leadership in guiding and supporting the younger players on the court. Serving can be a strong point for the team and depth with versatility will be an advantage for the Green Wave.
Finding consistency and confidence, especially with passing both on serve/receive and defense will be the key to the outcome of the team’s success.
