Words from some of our players...

Lightning volleyball has encouraged me to not only push myself to be a great volleyball player, but also to be a great teammate on and off the court. Nothing is more important than friendship, and Lightning has helped me make friendships I’ll have for a long time.

Mia McNulty

Lightning has helped my volleyball skills progress so much in the short time I’ve been there! The coaches are amazing as well as the players! It’s such an encouraging environment to be in and I love how God’s love is always being shown through those in this program!
