Bethel Royals Volleyball

Please help us welcome Ella Brennan in 2026!

Ella stood out to us as a competitor and an athlete from the first time we saw her highlights. Her quick arm and bounce off the floor make her so difficult to defend. Ella has had opportunities to lead and compete under pressure at a high level in both volleyball and softball, and does so while also being a humble and hard working teammate. We’re delighted Ella has chosen Bethel and can’t wait to have her in our gym!

🏐 2024 and 2025 Hiawatha Valley All-Conference selection | 2025 Team Captain | 🥎 Multisport athlete in softball | Named All-State Honorable Mention (Class AAA) after helping the Bears to back-to-back State Championship appearances

Played this off-season with Southern Minnesota Volleyball (SMV).

“I chose Bethel because it felt like a great fit for me both academically and athletically. I was drawn to the welcoming community and Christ-centered environment. I believe it is a place where I can grow as a student, athlete, and person!”

P.S. Ella follows Mom, Melissa, member of the 1999 MIAC Championship Bethel COLLEGE volleyball team that went 25-12 while earning an AQ to the NCAA Tournament 💙🏐💛

We had the best time with Pablo and Marco, our hosts in Brazil 🇧🇷 They took care of so many details that made the trip run smoothly, were gracious and patient with us, and worked hard to get to know us individually. Thank you Bring It USA Live

Our final days in Brazil were pure relaxation 😎 on the water in Arraial do Cabo after our four matches and lots of travel earlier in the week. Ready to start summer ☀️back in the U.S.!

Friday was our last full day in Rio, and we visited Sugarloaf Mountain and road the cable car. We wrapped up our night with our final Brazilian match against Flamengo Voleibol 🏐❤️🖤

Saturday we said goodbye to our beautiful hotel Grand Mercure Copacabana and continued down the coast to the fishing village of Arraial do Cabo for our final days in Brazil. More to come soon from our time there!

Yesterday we…

✔️ soaked up our morning with the eager and joyful students at a youth clinic at Ginasio Educacional Technologico (an incredible public school);

✔️ joined the throngs at Christ the Redeemer Statue, under a downpour and clouds that cleared just in time;

✔️and wrapped our day with a late night match.

We are in love with Rio!
