Facilities
Greenville College boasts of the ability to erect four volleyball
courts simultaneously. The volleyball team calls the spacious
H. J. Long Memorial Gymnasium, which seats about 1,000 fans, home.
Known for its noisiness and great jumping floor, it has become a
favorite for both home and visiting teams. Also located here
are lockerrooms, training facilities, and coaches and administrative
offices. The Fitness Training Center contains an excellent
array of weight training equipment, a lap pool, and aerobic trainers.
Eligibility
The student athlete must meet NCAA eligibility rules. (For answers
to questions concerning eligibility contact the coach directly.)
Education
Greenville Lady Panthers are women first, students second, and
athletes third. Our goal is to excel in the classroom as well as
on the field. The faculty understands and appreciates our dedication
to educational athletics and works with us to give the student athlete
the best of both worlds.
Scholarship
NCAA Division III regulations prohibit participating schools
from giving scholarships based on athletic talents. There are academic
and leadership scholarships, as well as other financial aid programs
that are available to all students, including a work study program.
If you have had the experience of playing High School or Junior
College volleyball and want to get involved with a very challenging
and rewarding experience, Greenville is for you.
