Volleyball
Program Overview
Union Catholic’s Varsity Volleyball Team has a long-storied tradition of success. We have trained student-athletes to not only be successful in the game of volleyball but also in the game of life. We teach proper technique and strategy as well as time management, leadership skills and how to develop interpersonal relationships. Our alumni often credit their time spent in the volleyball program as one of the reasons why they have had successful college and professional careers.
The 2025 season exceeded expectations in the best way. Even after graduating key players, the team rose to the challenge with determination. What could have been seen as a rebuilding year quickly turned into a remarkable season, finishing with a strong 20-9 record and earning spots in both the county championship and the state sectional semi-final.
