CCH24 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Rumor around town is Covington Catholic is starting a men's volleyball team. Senior Eric Smith seems to be the star that would lead this team to victory week in and week out. Looks to be an exciting year of men's volleyball. :ylsuper: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dlbdonn Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 More schools should offer this " in your face " sport for the men !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dog4 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I hope this is true - CCH would be able to field a very strong team based on how well the feeder schools do with their boys teams. When would the season run? (which sports would conflict) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bredwinner Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 The boys volleyball starts in late March and goes til late May. It is not sanctioned by the KHSAA so it is considered a "club" sport. There are a lot of teams in Cincinnati that have boys teams. Elder, St X, and Moeller have great programs and are a must see. For boys volleyball, you can throw fundamentals out the window. It's all about power! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When would the season run? (which sports would conflict) I heard Cov Cath or at least some parents have been talking about getting boys VB going for a couple of years. For a year or two some of the N KY boys from the feeder schools had a team during the Club season. I am pretty sure they played for NKJV. Good luck on hopefully getting it started Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to be a new sport for Boys in high school around these parts. I wasn't sure if it was a Mens, alumni league or a high school boys league.

Beechwoodfan Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Max Pauly was an excellent volleyball player (as well as some others from the Junior class) A couple of years ago, Max's team played the NKYVC girls of the same age (mostly girls playing for NDA now). It was tons of fun to see the boys vs the girls. Two VERY different types of play. However, the girls beat out the boys. It would be fun to see a rematch between those two teams.

Good luck on hopefully getting it started There has been talk about it for years. NKU's athletic director, Jane Meier, was one of the biggest supporters of it around 1999 - 2001; however, her son transferred to Villa and a lot of the talk died down some. Personally, I think it is an awesome idea if there is enough interest and somebody is willing to coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

statmanhensley Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 I'm not sure of the percentage but if you have, I think, somewhere between 10-20% of schools offer a sport, then they can petition the KHSAA to add it and I think they'd do it.
