Thirds volleyball provides a welcoming and warm environment where girls, no matter their prior volleyball experience, have the opportunity to learn a love for the game. We work on improving the fundamental skills of passing and hitting, as well as learning to set and understanding defensive movement. We inspire enthusiasm and a focused energy. Although we maintain a competitive atmosphere, we work toward making practice and games fun, and stress the importance of teamwork. We work to provide the potential for players to further their volleyball career at Taft.
