I'll believe both of these when I actually see them since both sports were supposed to start years ago. (especially softball because they need facilities from the ground up)

I don't think they ever really gave a date for the start of these and always knew they'd have to start them eventually.
The link above says they are out of compliance with Title IX, so they're coming...
And I believe the plan for the current practice facility in the Athletic Admin building is to create competition space for both volleyball and wrestling (UVA uses one of it's old gyms for this). Maybe 2-3K seating available, intimate setting. Right now, i believe the ceiling in the AA building is high enough for volleyball.
Not sure about volleyball, but there's some pretty good HS softball in this area. I'd think ODU could have a competitive team pretty quickly.
