"Digging Dukes was a massively successful and beneficial campaign for our volleyball program last year. Thanks to the generous donations from so many people last year, we were able to purchase extra equipment for training and team gear, as well as elevate the experience of our Student-Athletes with additional team bonding opportunities. We wouldn't be able to do what we do without you! Please consider stepping up big for our program again. Go Dukes!" - Head Coach Lauren Steinbrecher
About Our Campaign
By supporting our program, you will have a direct impact on each student-athlete experience, both on and off the court, as we strive to continue to surpass our successes as a top-25 caliber team.
Your support will help us be able to put ourselves in a position to be successful on and off the court, with enhanced team building, pre-season training opportunities, and equipment. With your help, our team can train to win our conference and also win rounds of the NCAA tournament.
How Your Support Will IMPACT the JMU Volleyball Student-Athlete Experience
Your gift, of any amount, will help support our team's success on and off the court — including pre-season and in-season team-building opportunities and travel — to benefit our student-athlete experience.
About JMU Volleyball
JMU Volleyball’s mission is to develop champions, relentlessly, through an incredible student-athlete experience. Our goals are:
- To become the best version of ourselves;
- Win the Sun Belt Conference;
- Win First Round of the NCAA tournament;
- Achieve a team average grade point average (GPA) of 3.3; and
- Give back to our community.
We have achieved our goals in the past, with winning the 2022 Sunbelt Championship and having our team grade point average GPA as 3.3. We complete a minimum of 20 hours of community service per student-athlete every year and typically go beyond that with last year's number of hours being 542 hours.
We consistently are working on becoming the best version of ourselves on and off the court. We have made it to the first round of the NCAA tournament, and now our goal is to win the first round!
