DME Academy Volleyball is ready for a season filled with high expectations. The program continues to grow in strength and visibility. This year’s team has three clear goals: improve skills, prepare athletes for college, and raise the DME Volleyball brand on a bigger stage.

Games To Watch

Head Coach Alvaro Sanchez has built a schedule that will test the team from the start. “We don’t play any easy matches,” Sanchez said. “Every match will be a challenge.”

Even so, fans can expect especially competitive battles against New Smyrna Beach, The Rock School, and the Academy of Central Florida.

Players To Watch

This year’s roster combines experienced leaders with new impact players. Seniors Juanita Hernandez and Marianna Castaño return as anchors of the squad, bringing steady play and strong leadership. As a result, they will be vital in guiding the group through tough stretches of the season.

In addition, Giovanna Menegazzo adds speed and power with her aggressive style of play. Meanwhile, Aniya Legget, now part of the 10-Foot Club, will impress with her vertical leap and attacking skills.

Co-founder Dan Panaggio sees big things ahead. “We have a core of returning players who know how to compete at a high level,” Panaggio said. “With this talent and Coach Alvaro’s leadership, we believe this team can do something special.”

With veteran leadership, exciting new talent, and a challenging schedule, DME Academy Volleyball looks ready to deliver a standout 2025–26 season.
