An off-campus hazing incident involving members of Alemany’s boys’ volleyball team has resulted in 11 students and one adult being disciplined, according to Tod Tamberg, spokesman for the Los Angeles Archdiocese.

Long-time boys’ volleyball Coach Jamie Quaglino has resigned his position but remains a teacher at the school.

A spokeswoman for the Los Angeles Police Department said Tuesday a patrol car was called to the school to investigate the incident about two weeks ago, and ‘it was deemed noncriminal.’

‘Due to the fact that the students are juveniles, and school disciplinary proceedings are confidential, archdiocesan and school personnel are prevented from discussing the matter in further detail,’ Tamberg wrote in an e-mail. ‘The matter was dealt with swiftly, and appropriate action was taken. The matter is considered closed.’
