TN HEAT VOLLEYBALL
TN Heat Volleyball is headed into its 16th season in 2025. Since the beginning, the team has made its mark in the Middle Tennessee Athletic Conference competitively placing in the top four for both middle school and varsity teams in regular season play and at the MTAC end of season tournaments each year—most recent second place finish in 2017 for middle school and a second-place finish for varsity in 2013. Varsity players have been honored each year with being named on the MTAC Regular Season All-Conference Team as well as MTAC All-Tournament Team. This is our fifth season where we have stretched our wings outside of the confines of the MTAC (now TSIAA, Tennessee State Independent Athletic Association), allowing us a better fit for our team as well as providing competitive end of the season tournament options. From 2021-2024, we have headed to the National Association of Christian Athletes National Volleyball Tournament in Dayton, TN. This year we look forward to competing at the East Coast National Tournament in Gatlinburg, TN.
