Volleyball
Overview
Volleyball is one of Emerald Youth's fastest-growing sports for girls and young women. Young ladies from Knoxville's city neighborhoods participate in our Emerald Force Volleyball Club, which is comprised of a recreational league for middle and high school girls, and competitive club teams. Additionally, some school-specific teams are sponsored by Emerald Youth.
