Women's Volleyball

Since 2012, the mission of the Northwest University Volleyball Program has been, “To establish and sustain a collegiate volleyball program that will enable young women to become the best that they can be, not only as competitive volleyball players, but as Christians, student-athletes, and teammates.” Over the past 14 years, that mission has been the foundation of the program’s success both on and off the court including regular post-season appearances, dozens of individual and team academic accolades, and most recently, recipients of the prestigious NAIA Champions of Character Award in 2024. None of these achievements would have been possible without the commitment of our student athletes and the generous support of NU families, friends, and fans.

That mission is poised to carry the program into the future, and the week of giving is your opportunity to partner with the Eagles as we sustain the traditions and activities that have made NU Volleyball a life-changing experience for our athletes.

Become a “Mission Partner” with the Eagles as we provide each athlete in our program the opportunity to become the best they can be.

Your Gifts, Our Mission

Program Development Resources ~ NU Volleyball strives to be a program that prepares young women for the next 40 years, not just the next four. As such, we want our athletes to have a “DI Experience” in an intimate, small college environment. Forging that experience includes:
- Mental skills training for athletes
- Access to consultant coaches and advanced training equipment for our athletes
- Support and enhancement of NIL opportunities
- Locker room and equipment upgrades
- Coaching clinics and sports science resources for staff.
- Supplement recruiting budget to identify, evaluate, and sign the best and brightest student-athletes
Using Our Gifts to Serve Others ~ Over the last decade, the Women’s volleyball program has served on three mission trips; Nicaragua (2016), Costa Rica (2020), and the Yucatan (2024). We are planning to return to the Yucatan as soon as March, 2027.
- Funds to support project costs (e.g. building materials and construction equipment for a water purification plant)
- Sports camp equipment for local children
- Travel expenses and housing
- Yucatan in 2027
Enhanced Travel Experience and Team Building:
- Expanding travel roster to include all athletes in the program, which increase transportation, lodging, and meal expenses
- Funds to offset annual team retreat and year-round, team-building activities
- Supplement meal budget to ensure optimal nutrition for our athletes
