Rowan County NC is the only county in the area that does not offer girls' volleyball in middle school. For this reason our high schools are at a major disadvantage because all the teams they play have had at least two years prior to high school to develop basic volleyball skills and are already working on advanced skills while our high school girls are just starting out. We are not giving our girls the opportunity to succeed in the sport to their fullest potential and in turn they could be missing out on athletic scholarships which would assist them with going on to college.
