The Wood family has history around volleyball. Three daughters Maddie, a senior, Lauren, a junior, and Sarah, a freshman, play indoor volleyball for Garnet Valley High School.When pulling into the cul de sac of the Wood family home near Garnet Valley High School, there’s a volleyball net peeking from the side of the house.
And that came with rough moments, where tears were shed and arguments took over the household. But the girls knew they wouldn’t play the game together forever, and this year marked the first season the three sisters competed on the same indoor volleyball team at Garnet Valley High. Maddie and Sarah look to pursue beach volleyball at the next level, which led them to be partners in multiple tournaments. Most recently, they won first place in the 18-and-under age group at AVP Beach Week in July in Atlantic City.
“It’s always been a little intense,” Maddie said of having her parents as coaches. “There’s higher expectations of you than there are the other kids, but it’s kind of what sets you apart. They’re both great coaches, and I think that’s really what’s helped us to grow and get better at the game.”The Wood parents once were competitive volleyball players themselves. During the summer after graduating from college, the two competed in a co-ed tournament in Maryland.
Watching their older sister, Lauren and Sarah wanted to give it a try, so the three of them started bumping the ball together in the driveway until they felt they had the foundation down.
