Girls Volleyball
The Cate girls volleyball program has had a great deal of success over the last five years.
The team qualified for three straight CIF-Southern Section semifinal appearances (2013-2015), won a championship in 2014, and earned selection for CIF state competition in 2013 and 2014. The program is rooted in hard work, accountability, and self-discipline in an effort to improve fundamentals and to learn to put the needs of others above self while working towards a common goal.
Competing in Southern California allows athletes to test themselves against some of the best volleyball players in the country and with Cate volleyball consistently ranked in the top-10 for its division, the Rams have risen to meet these challenges. The Tri-Valley league has yielded at least one CIF divisional champion in each of the past four seasons.
This highly competitive program is a fun and exciting one for all players who seek the challenge of improving their skills on a daily basis.
