Addison Grayson has made St. Vincent’s Academy history as its first volleyball player to commit to play beach volleyball in college. Grayson announced her commitment to Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, Florida, in February 2025.
Grayson has played the last three seasons at St. Vincent’s Academy on the varsity team. This season, she was named to the GHSA Class A Division I All-Region Second Team. She finished her career with 529 kills, 183 aces, 436 digs, and 657 served received with only 77 errors — a sign of her consistency and skill.

Off the court, Grayson excels academically. Maintaining a 4.0 GPA, she plans to major in Biology on a pre-med track at Eckerd College.
Grayson’s dedication to volleyball began early. Addison started playing beach volleyball in 7th grade, according to her family. By her sophomore year, she began competing at a higher level. She is now an A-rated player who has participated in over 45 tournaments nationwide. Her experience includes the AVP Junior Nationals in Hermosa Beach, California, and the East Coast Nationals in Clearwater, Florida. She has won several tournaments and earned multiple qualifying bids through her success.
Altogether, her dedication both in the classroom and on the court has made her a role model for other student-athletes at St. Vincent’s Academy.
