A Burnham-On-Sea teenager from The King Alfred School Academy has been selected to play for England’s volleyball squad.
Catherine Tolley, 18, has been chosen to play for the under 18s Junior England squad.
She has played the game for at least six years at school and went on to play for Taunton School and the SW Women’s league.
“I hope to go on to study Sports Coaching at university,” she says. “In my current team most of the players came from King Alfred School Academy.”
“I have always enjoyed playing volleyball and it has given me the opportunity to make new friends and gain new skills in the sport.”
Mr Bail, a PE teacher at The King Alfred School Academy told Burnham-On-Sea.com: “Catherine works incredibly hard and demonstrates fantastic efforts in her OCR Sport Technical course. The PE department are very proud of her achievements in Sixth form and Volleyball.”
