Volleyball
Varsity
Overview
In fall 2010, Blair organized an intramural program to feed a growing interest among Blair girls in the sport of volleyball; the program has since evolved into a varsity team.
Volleyball begins in late August with a week-long preseason camp that consists of several practices and team activities a day, as well as scrimmages. In season, Blair competes against other NJISAA schools. Rutgers Prep, Lawrenceville, Pope John and Warren Hills are commonly seen on the schedule.
In 2024, The Mid-Atlantic Prep League added volleyball as one of it's sanctioned sports. Blair competes against Lawrenceville, Mercersburg, and Hun during the regular season. Additionally, they compete at four team league championship event in October.
