OSU Winter Clinics - Check Them Out!

Our athletes have benefitted from these programs taught by the OSU coaches and varsity athletes. They offer quick, concentrated skills development programming that fits around school schedules.

Club Opportunities and Tryouts

Parents and athletes are reminded that tryouts with local club volleyball teams are coming up. Our coaches encourage ALL athletes to consider club play to hone their skills and help Columbus Academy continue to elevate our program. This a sure way to improve your skills, get more court time and have fun. There is more information about local clubs on our site under the club link here.

Most of our lead players have taken advantage of club programming on some level. If you can't play on a club team, consider one-on-one training, seminars and programs offered by these clubs. 

Many of the club tryouts are next weekend on November 11 and 12. Please check the website of any club in which you may have interest to verify tryout dates and any requirements, forms or applications you need to complete that day. 

If you need more information, contact Coach Roehrenbeck and she will share more about the programs and put you in touch with team members who have played club sports.

League Recognizes Two CA Players

We are excited to announce that the Ohio Mid State League has recognized two of Columbus Academy's varsity standouts. Jill Woodard was named Second Team, All Mid State League. Lauren Vodnick was recognized with an Honorable Mention, All District. We are proud of these athletes and look forward to their continued leadership next season.

Final Photos
Today, we uploaded the remaining photos from the second half of the season. (Sorry, we were holding out so the slideshow would have some surprises.) Feel free to download for your personal use. Many parents have also ordered prints directly via the site. They are pro-quality prints, ship direct and cost is very reasonable.
