Volleyball (Girls):​ This team sport begins official practice in August. The season ends in late October. Playing opportunities are available on both junior varsity and varsity levels. All girls are encouraged to take part if they meet the requirements.
Wrestling:​ Official practice begins at the end of October and ends in March. Wrestling, like football, requires a great deal of tough conditioning physically. This is an individual sport and provides the opportunity for the small, as well as the large, athlete to take part since weight classes go from 103 pounds to 275 pounds. All students are encouraged to try out if they meet the general requirements.
