Students ask board to establish boys varsity volleyball program next school year
Summary
Two Ocean City High School students asked the board during public comment to elevate the club program to a boys varsity volleyball team for next year, saying they already have players, experience, and regular practices.
Two Ocean City High School students, Joseph Fang and Alexander Zielinak, told the board they want the district to establish a boys varsity volleyball team next school year rather than only a junior varsity start. They said the student-led club already draws 10 players to two to three practices per week, and several players have prior experience.
"Starting a varsity team would help our program grow faster and give us opportunity to represent our school at the highest level," the students said. They cited local peer schools (Mainland and Cape May Tech) that have varsity programs and asked the board to consider the request.
The board did not take an immediate action during the meeting; the item was presented as a public comment request for consideration by administration and the athletics program.
