Volleyball

We love our Volleyballball in St. Ita's!

We have a long and proud tradition of spikeball and volleyball here in St. Ita's. Each girl from 3rd to 6th class gets an opportunity to partake in spikeball/ volleyball  training and play games on the yard during break and lunch. 

Many of the girls when they leave St Ita's go on to represent their secondary school in various volleyball All-Ireland finals and some have even had the opportunity to represent Ireland on the Irish National Junior team. 

St Ita's have done very well in competitions over the last number of years, winning numerous All-Ireland Spikeball and volleyball titles. Not an easy achievement without hard work, commitment and dedication from both the children and staff. A huge thank you to all the teachers and coaches who helped and prepared the girls for their matches. 

All-Ireland Semi-Finalists 2023!

2nd March: We had a busy day in Limerick at All-Ireland Finals day. We played very well and made it out of the group and through the quarter finals. We had a strong game in the semi-finals but we were pipped at the net by a strong team. We had great fun and made some memories! Thanks again to all of the girls, our staff and Mr Coyle for getting us to the All-Ireland. Take a look at some of the photos below!   

County Volleyball Champions 2023!

23rd Feb: Five teams from our sixth classes took part in the primary county volleyball tournament in Ballinasloe this week. Each team did extremely well and had lots of fun. It was a very competitive day as only one team could qualify for the All-Ireland competition. One of our teams were successful and will represent the school in Limerick next week! All the girls had a great day out. Thank you to all the girls, all our teachers and Mr Coyle, who helped prepare the girls for the competition. Check out some of the photos below!
