Fall

Volleyball – Girls Varsity

Volleyball is Fun, Playing Good Volleyball is More Fun. This is the motto the varsity volleyball program lives by as it sets out to create a good culture of volleyball in the Nicholas Athletic Center.

Energetic practices, high level coaching and a tough schedule that includes matches with the perennial powers of NEPSAC Class “A” and scrimmages with the top public school teams to go along with a full ISL schedule make BB&N the place to be for all players to reach their highest volleyball potential.
