Banquet Celebrates Fun Year!

The team had a year-end banquet in the dining hall with Chipotle, gifts and cake — what could be better? How about mementos and buddy gifts! The coaches handed out Varsity letters and JV certificates — and complimented all of our athletes on their team spirit and positive attitudes. Congrats to the Lady Vikes and Coaches Gepper, Yakscoe, Boyd and Walker! 


Individual awards included: Varsity: Viking Award – Alyssa Scheer; MVP – Lauren Vodnick and Jill Woodard; Junior Varsity: Most Improved – Megan Vern; Viking Award – Mackenzie Bell and MVP – Annie Morford. We had an enjoyable celebration with  teammates, parents and friends. This was a great bonding year for all. And, thanks to all the parents who worked so hard in every way.  View the season highlights video here.

Club Volleyball Tryouts

Some of our girls have enjoyed Club Volleyball. They elevated their skills and expanded their relationships by playing with other athletes from around central Ohio. Club volleyball usually entails two or three evening practices per week with tournaments on Saturdays. Most clubs offer a winter season (Dec through Feb) and a spring season (Feb through April.) We encourage parents and athletes to check this out.

The Lady Vikes helped Alyssa Scheer celebrate her role as the team's only senior after they battled the Lakewood Lancers on Academy's home court.

Volley for the Cure at Granville

We congratulate the Granville High School on an outstanding Volley For the Cure fundraising program last Thursday. The program packed the stands and raised thousands of dollars for breast cancer research. Our Lady Vikes were proud to compete in the feature match against the Blue Aces.  See the photo archive here. 

Support the Charlie David Dinner

On October 8, Columbus Academy will host the Annual Charlie David Dinner prior to the varsity football game. This event features a buffet dinner, silent auction, raffles and other fun fundraising activities. This is the ONLY fundraiser for athletics at CA and a major portion of your contribution is tax deductible. 

If you are considering a donation to the Charlie David Dinner, and volleyball is your daughter's only sport, we ask that you designate your contribution to the volleyball program. That designation will help support needs for next year's program. The attached form may be submitted to the athletic office with your check. 

Think Pink!!

The JV and varsity games at Granville on Thursday, Oct. 7, will be a "Volley for the Cure" event so Viking fans are encouraged to attend and help in the fight against breast cancer. The evening will include raffle prizes, serving contest, silent auction, chair massages and special concessions from Whit's Frozen Custard, Cheryl's Cookies and Caribou Coffee.

Mrs. Dillon took a few minutes out of her busy day to stop by and shoot a few pics of the team. We'll post those photos and the shots from Tuesday's game this evening.

Thanks Mrs Dillon!!
