Saints Indoor Volleyball is a Spring Sport with tryouts being conducted in Feb 2026. They compete in Div1/Open Div of the San Diego CIF section. They are a member of the Western League of the City Conference. Saints Volleyball is the current reigning Div 1 CIF Champions in San Diego. They also are on top of the very competitive Western League with victories this past year over rivals Cathedral Catholic and Francis Parker. Congratulations to Coach Palafox and Coach Gorsich for an amazing 2025 Season! We are excited about continuing this winning tradition and momentum to become one of the top recognized programs in the County.

The program has Varsity and Junior Varsity Levels and possibly will have a Freshman program this year as well. Athletes should be in solid academic standing, demonstrate an attitude conducive to growth and be able to commit to the program. Technical Skills and Experience is highly valued but not mandatory during the entry level selection process. All participation paperwork and completed physicals must be turned in prior to tryouts in early February.
