PHCC has a very competitive schedule playing the top teams throughout the state. Many out-of-state teams also travel to play against our highly respected program. PHCC volleyball also prides itself on graduating its student/athletes on time. Numerous graduates have continued their athletic endeavors at various four-year institutions throughout the nation. Others have also chosen to concentrate solely on their academics as they proceeded toward their degree.

Pasco-Hernando Community College is proud of its entire athletic program and the volleyball program is the crown jewel of that pride.
