The head coaches of both programs share in the school’s enthusiasm.

“We are so excited to be able to add a freshman volleyball team in response to the turnout from a talented freshman class,” said head volleyball coach Kate Reilley. “We have the largest number of girls trying out across the entire program that we have seen since I have been here.”

Entering into his fifth year as head baseball coach and ninth overall in the program, Jeremy Tayson had this to say:

“It is great to see freshman baseball back at Justin- Siena. It will serve the students and the program well as we continue to build the culture of competitive consistency that Justin- Siena baseball is known for.”
