Huntley High School Volleyball Season Preview

Huntley Volleyball Eyes New Era with Senior Core and Tough Conference Road Ahead

Offseason Focus: Filling the Void of Leadership

After graduating nine talented seniors, Huntley High School's volleyball program is entering a season of transition — but not uncertainty. The coaching staff, led by Coach Karen Naymola, is focused on developing new leaders both on and off the court. With talent rising through the ranks, the Red Raiders are preparing to reload rather than rebuild.

Players to Watch: Seniors Ready to Shine

A strong group of returning seniors is expected to carry the torch this season, bringing experience and work ethic to the forefront:

Emily Ernst

Abigail Whitehouse

Rachel Hein

Sophia Tocmo

These athletes have put in the work during the offseason and are ready to step into bigger roles as they help define the next era of Huntley Volleyball.

Weight Training and Conditioning: Year-Round Commitment

Most of the team participates in a dedicated weight training class, providing a strong foundation for performance. In-season, athletes continue with structured conditioning programs, ensuring they're prepared physically for the demanding schedule ahead.

Coaching Approach: Reflect, Refine, Repeat

Coach Naymola and her staff dedicate time during the offseason to attend clinics and review the prior season in detail. "We reflect on last year’s success and build our game plan from there," Naymola shared. It’s a process rooted in continual growth and high standards.

Fan Engagement: Building the Buzz on Twitter

Huntley Volleyball connects with its community through active Twitter engagement, where fans can find camp updates, player highlights, and team news. It’s a simple but effective way to keep excitement high and community support strong.

Biggest Challenge: Surviving a Stacked Conference

The road ahead won’t be easy. Competing in a highly competitive conference, the Red Raiders will need resilience and mental toughness. “We have to be prepared for constant battles,” Naymola emphasizes. “Every match is a challenge, and we wouldn’t want it any other way.”
