The school board just confirmed that the boys volleyball program is officially going ahead. I am honestly stunned that this happened so quickly and I want you all to know that this outcome belongs entirely to you. I will keep everyone posted on the first practice schedule as soon as …

- With the rise of men’s volleyball, I strongly urge the school board to create a boy’s volleyball team at Tabb High School. We should have a say in what sports we want here at our schools. Recently, the Middle schools have created a girls volleyball program which has boosted interests and numbers for the high schools. The Middle school can create a girls volleyball team, but we can’t start a boys volleyball program? Volleyball is one of the least expensive sports to fund. We already have enough players to make a competitive team. We also have the financial support of those student’s parents. We could put it to great use for starting a new, successful program for boys. Boys volleyball is the number one growing sport on the Peninsula. Girls have JV and Varsity volleyball teams, why cant we? We can provide all equipment and funding. The school only needs to provide the gym.
According to the NFHS, over the last 5 years, boys volleyball has grown 15.7% in participation rate and is 2nd nationally behind only indoor track & field.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you have stepped up to support this initiative. We are nearly at one hundred signatures and reaching that mark would be a huge indicator to the school board that this is a priority. Please send this link to a few people who might want to help us cross that threshold.

Former club volleyball player with a 9yo son who desperately wants this when he gets to high school!
As a previous girls varsity volleyball head coach at Tabb High School I support this petition. Wonderful families, students and administration that I think would support a boys team to success.
With a daughter who now plays college volleyball, I have heard from many of her male friends of their interest in playing the sport throughout their high school years. Other counties/ cities surrounding York County already have competitive men’s/ boy’s volleyball teams in their schools. It only makes sense for York County to join them.
Ohio State University Men's Volleyball has and will continue to recruit prospective student athletes out of this region. Please give the boys in your area a chance to succeed on the court.
I have wanted a boys volleyball team for a long time and I have been pushing it and bringing it to the staffs attention at Grafton Highschool
whatcha doin?
Let me hit balls for my school

Having a boys program in York Co will help to grow the game locally and help make for more competitive play in schools on this side of the water and at the club level.
