Mandy Barney, Head Volleyball Coach
Beaumont School
Coming off a District Championship season, Beaumont returns six of seven starters and much of the core that helped establish the Blue Streaks as one of the area’s most competitive programs. Our goal is to defend our district title while continuing to push deeper into postseason competition.
The road won’t be easy. Beaumont competes in the North Coast Conference (NCC), one of the strongest volleyball conferences in Northeast Ohio, featuring perennial contenders such as Lake Catholic, Elyria Catholic, Holy Name, Padua, CVCA, and NDCL. Additionally, Beaumont consistently plays one of the most challenging schedules in Division IV, giving our student-athletes opportunities to compete against some of the region’s best programs throughout the season.
