Building Community Through Volleyball: Premier Academy Partners with Toledo CYO

Maumee, OH — September 15, 2025 – At Premier Volleyball Academy, we believe volleyball is about more than competition — it’s about building community, creating opportunities, and sharing the love of the game with as many young athletes as possible.

This fall, we’re excited to live that mission by partnering with the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) of the Diocese of Toledo to host some of their volleyball matches right here at Premier.

Throughout September and October, Premier will open its doors — pro bono — to CYO programs across the Diocese, offering our facility as a home for Saturday matches. For many of these athletes, CYO is their first real taste of organized volleyball, and providing a professional, welcoming space to compete is one small way we can help grow their love for the sport.

We’re proud to support CYO’s commitment to teaching teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship in a faith-filled environment. Their mission aligns perfectly with ours: developing not only better athletes, but also stronger leaders and community members.

This collaboration is more than just about court time — it’s about creating memories, offering access, and making sure every athlete feels supported, whether they’re serving for the very first time or preparing for the next level of competition.

We can’t wait to cheer on all the CYO athletes and families this fall. Thank you to the Diocese of Toledo for the opportunity to partner, and thank you to the coaches, parents, and players who make youth volleyball such a vibrant part of our community.
