The Geneva volleyball program encourages athletes to aim for excellence in the fundamentals of the game in a safe and competitive environment. The volleyball program has grown significantly since 2006, when Coach Benjumea took over as Geneva’s head volleyball coach. The varsity team alone has won 12 district championships, 6 regional championships, and a state championship in 2018. The program has had 8 players pursue their volleyball careers at the collegiate level. There are opportunities for girls to participate in the fall indoor volleyball program as early as fifth grade, and students as young as third grade are encouraged to participate in an instructional spring season.
