Welcome to the Boston Latin Academy Boys’ Volleyball Website. We have a rich tradition of being at the top of the City every year. Our season begins in Early April and ends in late May. Captains Practice begins soon after February Vacation. We strongly encourage all who have interest in Volleyball to attend the meeting and tryout. We look forward to seeing new players every year.
