Volts JV Volleyball Team

Congratulations Leah - tournament MVP

Our JV girls have been hard at work - winning all of their games thus far. They represented VIMSIA well and won the season opener invitational tournament at Antilles School. PGIA 9th grader, Leah Smith, was named tournament MVP. Kudos, Leah! Check out the team’s great trophy in the front office!

Huge thanks and appreciation to our Volleyball Coaches - Nalani Figueroa, Ivan Figueroa and Ronald Blyden!

First Place VOLTS - Undefeated Season JV Girls!

Huge kudos to our JV Volts Girls Volleyball team for taking the title with an undefeated 8 and 0 season.  These Volts started strong and stayed strong. 

Huge congratulations to our 2017 girls volleyball teams.  Briefly, our JV girls team went undefeated 8-0. They won the JV league with that perfect record. Our Varsity girls team took 4th place in the league with a record of 4-4.  Great job ladies and way to work. 

I would like to thank Coach Ivan Figueroa, Coach Nalani Figueroa and Coach Ronald Blyden for their efforts this season.  VIMSIA could not have executed this successful season without your hard work and dedication.  VIMSIA's volleyball program has come along quite well.  I see nothing but success at the varsity level in the very near future.  The foundation our past teams have laid will be built upon and VIMSIA will soon claim the girls varsity volleyball championship too. 

GO VOLTS!   

 Shane DeGannes R.N., VOLTS Athletic Director

Special recognition to our Seniors:  Vanshika, Kobe (Captain), Nalani (Coach) and Candice.

Volts: JV Boys Tied for 1st

The JV boys volleyball team and Coach Mitch Gibbs finished their regular season on Wednesday with a win over Antilles.  They went three sets and were down 8-11 in that third set to 15, to come back and win!  That is a tough position to recover from - GRIT!  Way to go gentlemen!

Their only loss this season was to CAHS.  They will have a playoff game with CAHS later this month for first place.

Kudos Coach Gibbs and his Volts!

Varsity Volleyball Tournament - 2nd Place to Volts

Volts: Varsity Girls Volleyball Tiebreaker with CAHS

The Volts defied the odds on  Tuesday by pushing the competition with CAHS to the extreme.  A Volts win in the first match, followed by back and forth tight victories for each team left the game to a tie-breaker in the 5th set.  CAHS took the tie-breaker, but no-one watching that game could question the powerhouse that is Volts Varsity Girls Volleyball.

I've done the math.  VIMSIA female population for varsity age sports is 25.  Yep - we have a pool of about 25 girls with which to build a team.  CAHS - well, I can't be sure, but a quick calculation and I am pretty confident that 600 is about right - or close enough to prove my point.  Our girls from this little bitty school rocked!  They were professional, supportive of each other and a force to be reckoned with.  I could not have been prouder.  As I watched the game, I realized that the 11th grade girls are the first students to have had the advantage of starting to play volleyball as 4th graders when our program first began.  Goes to show how important it is to build your teams starting at a young age.

Kudos to the team and Coach Figueroa.  A special shout-out to former Volt Volleyball powerhouse, Ms. Kendall Hebert for helping out this season.    Go Volts!  (I guess we're not just the smart school anymore.)
