Iowa-Grant Volleyball
The Iowa-Grant Volleyball Program is a three tier program offering Freshman, JV and Varsity Teams. The program has a rich history of success on and off the court. A few of the additional things we offer are a summer camp for 3rd-12th grade students from our district and from the surrounding area. This camp has been offered for over 30 years and is a major part of our success in developing interest and skill in our future athletes. We are very proud of the fact that this camp is staffed by former players giving back to the program. We also offer a high school summer volleyball league for our teams and area teams. These two programs help to fund our offerings during the season as our varsity team often does two overnight trips to tournaments around the state. Our long standing tradition is a tournament in Door County which also incorporates the families and off the court activities such as horseback riding, parasailing, ziplining, or segway tours. In addition, our program also offers scholarship opportunities to graduating seniors who have participated all four years in the program. The program also sponsors a Volleyball Hall of Fame to honor past athletes, coaches and those who have gone above and beyond to support the program.
The Iowa-Grant Volleyball Program is more than an August-October activity. We as coaches take great pride in our athletes and all they put into the program. Our goal is to provide positive opportunities on the court and off the court, in-season and out of season, during high school and beyond the doors of IG.
ONCE A PANTHER, ALWAYS A PANTHER!
