Want to play volleyball but didn’t make a team? That’s where VolleyGirls Academy comes in.

VolleyGirls was started in 2006 by volunteer Jacquie Wilson, when she saw the need for a place for kids to learn and play the sport. So she found a gym, volunteers and coaches who knew the fundamentals of volleyball.

VolleyGirls is a place where girls aged 7-12 can learn instruction, girls 9-12 can play in an Academy League, girls 12-16 can play House League, and in the summer girls 8-16 can play beach volleyball at Trinity Christian School in Burlington. And if you are an adult who wants to play you can join the Jack’s Sports and Social Club.

Shelly Marriage, who used to play, spent the morning with Jacquie and the girls to learn the history of how it all started and get a look at the Route 44 Tuck Shop which sells VolleyGirls official merch.
