The Immaculate Heart of Mary ("IHM") Volleyball Program is run by volunteers of the IHM Athletic Ministry. The program is open to rising 5th through 8th grade girls. Beginners are welcome - no previous play experience is required!

Our volleyball teams compete in the Catholic Metro Volleyball League (CMVL), which comprises Catholic schools/parishes throughout the metro area. The CMVL consists of 2 GIRLS divisions: 5th/6th grade division and 7th/8th grade division. Each team has a minimum of 9 and maximum of 12 players. Teams are evenly balanced by skill level and all players receive playing time based upon league rules.

Registration is on a first-come, first-serve basis, however you may register your daughter on a waitlist if the registration is full. If you are accepted from the waitlist, you will be sent a reminder email to login to your Sports Connect account and pay your outstanding balance.
