Why dont private schools have volleyball teams?

Question

i'm applying for a private school, and i've looked at about 10 school websites in my area, but i noticed that all of them didn't have a volleyball team. i was wondering if it was just coincidental that all the sites that i looked at didn't have teams, or if there's a real reason why.

Answer 1

a lot of private schools have volley ball teams

Answer 2

i go to a private school and they have volleyball.we won 3rd in state!!! keep looking, probably the schools in your area dont put it on their website...try calling them..

Answer 3

It's possibly because of a dress code. IF there are no dress codes then it's probably just coincidence, but if you were going to a religious school, odds are they don't want to deal with the dress code issues.

Answer 4

HEY!!!!! I play at a private school. We have tons of girls come out for volleyball. and there's another school down the road that has to have tryouts cause there are so many girls!!

Answer 5

They may not have teams because nobody was interested in doing the work to get them started.  You can try talking with the athletic director at the different schools where you are applying and see if they have any interest.  Once you pick a school, you can push them a little more.  You can find other players in your school and start with an intramural program.  And convince your athletic director that there is enough interest.  

Good luck.

Answer 6

well not all of them dont, i go to a private school and i have gone since pre-k and we have a volleyball team except sometimes we dont bcuz not enough ppl want 2 play or we dont have a coach

Answer 7

Well, I think that most do. But, if you can't find a school with a volleyball team, and if you are serious about volleyball, you can play on a club team. Type in google "_name of your region hear ex. puget sound region/arizona region junior volleyball." Some sites should come up! Hope that helps!

Answer 8

because no one plays volleyball.

Answer 9

Ok... I go to a private school and i have a volleyball team. Sometimes schools like that dont have teams because they either dont have enough players or cant find a couch to couch them!!! Sorry if im spelling something wrong! Im not the greates speller of all times!

Answer 10

i think it is just a coincidence or not many people in your area are interested in playing volleyball. every school and private school around me has a team. i am even in a homeschool league, and we play about 15 other teams within about an hours distance, so i know people like volleyball where i am.... hope this is helpfull

Answer 11

it depends on the school actualy, im here in a private school and a lot of really good players showcase their best talents, and i think private institutions are more athletic than those in public, no offense

Answer 12

Uh well in Atlanta, Ga, all the private schools have a really serious volleyball team... You must live in a really distant community!!

Answer 13

it depends what private school you go to. my schoo ( private has one...)

Answer 14

actually a lot of them do. thats where some of the really good teams come from around here.

keep looking!! something will work out.

and if it doesnt...then you should consider playing club volleyball. it starts in december and usually goes through may. it costs money....but if you love the sport it will all be worth it!

Answer 15

Being a private school doesn't have anything to do with it besides size.  I go to a private school and play on the volleyball team.  There is a whole conference in my state for private schools.  It has nothing to do with the dress code, because if the schools don't want to wear spandex they are allowed to wear normal athletic shorts.  

Usually a private school won't have a team due to lack of interest and the fact that the school is probably really small.  If you really want to play, keep looking for one that has one.

Answer 16

thats not true that all private schools dont have vball teams.  i am on mine at my school and we won our championship. it just depends where u live and how big vball is in that area.
