Girls Volleyball for grades 6th, 7th, and 8th at Sage International Middleton School is an important part of the overall education experience for our students. Volleyball provides opportunities to learn the sport as well as providing opportunities to learn sportsmanlike behavior while working as a team. We also provide a supportive environment to build life skills that will serve young women in the future.

We offer volleyball for a variety of ability levels. Girls Volleyball is a competitive team or teams depending on enrollment numbers. The expectations are to be present and participate in practices and all games. Students will have academic progress checks bi-weekly to ensure players are completing school work and are principled in the classroom.
