Our girls competed against some outstanding competition this past weekend at the Parkland varsity volleyball tournament, including larger AAA schools, perennial postseason contenders, and teams with Division I talent. They responded by earning a spot in the Gold Bracket and finishing in the top eight of a very competitive tournament.
This weekend gave us a glimpse of what this team has the potential to become. Now it’s time to get back to work.

Our Sullivan Volleyball program is incredibly fortunate to have the support of local businesses that believe in investing in our students.
Because of their generosity, our athletes are able to experience opportunities like hosting University of Illinois Head Coach Chris Tamas and his staff for a full day of instruction and skill development. Experiences like this challenge our athletes, build confidence, and expose them to a level of coaching that leaves a lasting impact.
A sincere thank you to our program sponsors:
* Kaskaskia Veterinary Animal Hospital
* Tammy Clayton Custom Apparel
* Oakwood Apothecary
* Fayhee Recreations
* Born Family Rentals
* Performance Concrete Coatings
* Conexxus
* Mid-State Tank Company
* Graham Veterinary Clinic
* Defense Depot
Your investment goes far beyond volleyball. It helps provide meaningful experiences, creates opportunities for growth, and supports the development of young people both on and off the court.
Thank you for believing in Sullivan Volleyball and in the students who represent our community so well. We couldn’t do it without you! ❤️🖤
Three days. Countless reps. So much growth.
Our 6th-8th grade volleyball campers wrapped up an awesome week of camp! The improvement from Day 1 to Day 3 was incredible to watch. From passing and serving to attacking, defense, and game play, these athletes embraced every challenge with great attitudes and a willingness to learn.
Progress doesn’t happen by accident—it comes from showing up, listening, competing, and putting in the work. These girls did exactly that.
The future of Sullivan volleyball is bright, and we can’t wait to watch these athletes continue to grow.

Setters may be the quarterbacks of volleyball, but they also double as problem solvers, magicians, and occasional miracle workers. 😄
Last night our young athletes learned that serving and setting aren’t always glamorous—but they’re two of the most important skills in the game.
Love to see all the young Sullivan Volleyball players this summer!
