The <strong>Kentucky</strong><br />
Volleyball Experience<br />
The student-athlete experience at the <strong>University</strong><br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Kentucky</strong> is second-to-none. Volleyball<br />
players at UK have the most convenient<br />
arrangements <strong>of</strong> perhaps any student-athletes in<br />
the country.<br />
The team lives in New North Hall, a state<strong>of</strong>-the-art<br />
residence facility opened in the fall <strong>of</strong><br />
2005 that combines a comfortable living atmosphere<br />
with the convenience <strong>of</strong> having all necessary<br />
academic and athletics facilities easily<br />
within walking distance.<br />
Each spacious room houses two studentathletes<br />
and features a dresser, wardrobe,<br />
desk and bookcase for each resident with a<br />
private sink in each room. Four students<br />
share a connecting bathroom.<br />
Volleyball players dine at the adjacent<br />
Blazer Hall and are just a block from both<br />
the <strong>University</strong>’s campus and Memorial Coliseum,<br />
the exclusive practice and match home<br />
<strong>of</strong> the Wildcats.<br />
The volleyball team also benefits from the<br />
100,000 square-foot Joe Craft Center, an expansion<br />
<strong>of</strong>f the North side <strong>of</strong> Memorial Coliseum,<br />
that features brand-new training and<br />
strength and conditioning facilities.<br />
Players have the opportunity to succeed<br />
both academically and athletically at UK, as the<br />
Wildcats have made back-to-back NCAA Tournament<br />
appareances and at least five studentathletes<br />
in each <strong>of</strong> the past two years have been<br />
named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll.<br />
Coming to <strong>Kentucky</strong> truly gives a studentathlete<br />
the opportunity to experience the best <strong>of</strong><br />
all worlds.<br />
The Best <strong>of</strong> All Worlds<br />
<strong>Kentucky</strong> volleyball players live within a block <strong>of</strong> Memorial Coliseum, Blazer Dining Hall<br />
and the <strong>University</strong>’s classrooms and bookstore. Student-athletes are just a short walk away<br />
from one <strong>of</strong> the nation’s finest collegiate libraries.<br />
