Congratulations student athletes!

The 2023 season was one of rainouts and rescheduling but the ladies of Steele Canyon Beach Volleyball came through it winning a share of the league title and a playoff berth. Unfortunately the girls lost in the first round to Canyon Crest Academy but the girls played hard and kept the matches close. The program grew leaps and bounds this year having 30 plus girls come out and practice and compete. Coach Holland is looking forward to continuing to grow the program with next year brinning the added benefits of being a full sport at Steele Canyon.
