Fall Sports Wrap Up and Team Highlights

First, a huge congratulations to our boys beach volleyball team! They had a stellar season, finishing in 2nd place in their division. They fought their way to the playoff finals, and although they came up just a touch short, they should be incredibly proud of their second-place finish. We’re grateful for their dedication and effort on the sand.

October was a huge month for girls volleyball. The team has been working hard all season and ended with a thrilling three-way tie match at home against Peninsula, which they won! This victory solidified their standing as the second-place finishers in the Pioneer League. They made it all the way to the CIF Playoffs on October 24—Congratulations to our Wolves! A special thank you to our Seniors Olivia Gonser, Kendra Kehl and Lina Valenzuela for all you have done for WDV girls volleyball, we will miss you!

Our archery program also saw a fantastic turnout for the recent safety meetings and training sessions. It’s wonderful to see so many new faces interested in the sport. We’re eagerly looking forward to tryouts in November, and we wish all aspiring archers the best of luck.

The WDV girls soccer season is officially underway! We appreciate everyone’s patience during the planning season. The tryouts had an excellent turnout on our brand-new Wiseburn Da Vinci soccer field. We can’t wait to see what the season has in store for this talented group.

The WDV boys soccer team has been training and are ready for their first scrimmages at the beginning of November. The first home game on the new WDV Soccer Field will be held on November 15 @ 4:30pm (JV) and 6:00pm (Var) vs. Lynwood. Come out and cheer on your home team!
