The TMC has filled that void and has begun to help students grow in this way. All are welcome, regardless of your physical condition.

Women’s Club Volleyball-

Club Volleyball gives women the opportunity to play competitive volleyball after high school. It is a great opportunity to get involved at the school and creates new relationships. It was created to reach out to those girls not involved with intercollegiate volleyball to continue playing the sport that they love and bonding with girls who have similar interests. We play a broad range of Universities in San Diego holding weekly practices and games during the second semester. It allows girls to balance school and sports very easily while still allowing a competitive atmosphere.
