Becoming an IMG Academy girls volleyball student-athlete means joining a group of dedicated, strong, and motivated young women striving towards the same goal: reaching their full potential. Explore the only program in the world that combines challenging academics and prestigious college placement with supportive, competitive athletics and holistic personal development.
In 2023, volleyball became IMG Academy’s 15th sport and first new sport in nearly a decade with two teams – U18 and U16. Both teams went undefeated in their preseason play and won the first-ever IMG Academy Volleyball Classic. Two student-athletes have been given major distinctions with Amanda Mack being named an Under Armour All-American and Hazel Alevok being named Prep Dig No. 1 middle blocker in the country. As of the start of the 2023 season, five volleyball program student-athletes are committed to Division I volleyball programs.
IMG Academy’s volleyball program provides female student-athletes with a setting that allows them to pursue their dreams on the court, in the classroom, and through extracurricular avenues. From August through June, student-athletes will experience a curriculum and schedule that mirrors a collegiate atmosphere and provides year-round access to the resources and tools needed to conquer their goals.
Regardless of an individual’s age or experience level, IMG’s volleyball program features holistic training that develops every facet of the game, from a strong foundation to elite and technical strategy during competition.

In addition to court space, the volleyball program has access to the Performance Center, where strength and conditioning training and other Personal Development sessions take place as well as team meeting areas and locker rooms.
