A Letter from Coach Greg Ashman
Welcome to the 2019 Shanahan Volleyball Season! We are District 1, AAA Champions ’06, ’09, ’12, and& ‘15 and AAAA '16, '17, and '18. Our goal is to pick up where we left off last year and compete at the highest level. With all the new classifications and restructuring of the PIAA we have chosen to compete at the AAAA class again this season. Our goal this year will to win our second State Championship!
I have put together the toughest schedule possible for this season. We continue as the top team in the district and captured our 8th District title and 13th Ches-Mont title. We have also added two of the strongest teams in District 1 to our schedule: Garnet Valley (2016 AAAA State Champion) and Pope John Paul II District 1 AAA Champion, along with Cathlic League and District 12 Champion Archbishop Carroll.
Volleyball is demanding physically, mentally and time consuming. We expect that every player will remember that they are student-athletes and school comes first. Everyone will be expected to stay on top of schoolwork and not fall behind. We don’t want volleyball to interfere with studies, nor do we want students to be forced to choose between volleyball and studying.
We are asking every player to make a commitment to becoming a better volleyball player and to challenge themselves every day at practice and in all matches. We would also like every player make a commitment to themselves and the program that they are going to go the extra step in preparing themselves in the off season getting ready for the 2019 high school season. Play lots of volleyball over the summer and go to camps/clinics and do workouts on your own or with a friend to be in shape and mentally ready to win our second State Championship!
This season all Ches-Mont matches will have the JV playing first(3:30 away & home) with the varsity to follow. REMEMBER the 1% RULE: "Building Champions One Pass at a Time." Believe!
