Centennial High School in Champaign, IL opened in 1966 and currently has an enrollment of over 1500 students.  The girls’ volleyball program began in 1973 and after the 2008 season has a historical record of 534-396-8 with (at least) 1 conference championship, 12 regional titles, and 1 sectional title.

The high school season is based on the IHSA calendar and lasts from mid-August through late-October, followed by two to three weeks of post-season play culminating in the State Series in mid-November.  Centennial fields teams at the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman levels.  Most regular matches feature all three teams, beginning with the Freshman contest through to the Varsity match.  Each team has a unique tournament schedule. 

The IHSA calendar also allows for a period of summer instruction, from the close of the school year to late July.  This period features a number of optional activities including camps and tournaments (see summer programs).

Centennial’s program is supported by a dedicated Booster Club which raises funds – through the support of parents and players – to benefit the volleyball teams (see booster club).

Tryout information for the fall is posted the preceding summer: Tryout Announcement.
