Volleyball

The volleyball teams perform at a high level competing in a range of competitions across the United Arab Emirates.

Volleyball teams are a place where consistent participation and full effort and intent are expected. Once a student is selected for the team, their personal interest is subordinated to the interest of the team, as “we” becomes more important than “me”. Our volleyball teams welcome athletes with different ability levels as support is provided for everyone who is willing to consistently show good character and desire to learn.

Practices are held 3 times a week with additional gym sessions and multiple matches throughout the season. Although improvement in individual and team volleyball competencies is a priority, our practices involve a variety of fun challenges and inviting activities.
