Alittle bit more info-
I have played volleyball most of my life. I am very tall (6'2"), so for the majority of that time I was a middle blocker/attacker holding state record for most blocks. In the past 16 years of playing, I have played almost every position. I have played almost every level of volleyball, including competitive adult leagues, college, club volleyball, varsity, junior varsity, freshman team and recreational leagues.
My Coaching background includes Varsity Head Coach Raytown High School, Junior Varsity Coach Lee's Summit High School (present), Club Director and Coach Southern Elite 2008-Present, Private Volleyball instructor and trainer www.vbprep.com Overall training over 400 students since my coaching debute in 2006.
For the club this year I will be coaching our 16 force team for Southern Elite winter 2011-2012. Last year our 15 gold team was in the gold bracket at regionals and won several tournaments.
I will be acting as club director for Southern Elite, head coach and recruiter for our 14 teams. I take a very active role in every team we have at southern elite. I will be present at tryouts and will be working closely with every coach to set the best lineups and best lesson plans to build the girls skills and confidence throughout the season.
We are a family oriented club and feel that we should do as much as we can as a team and as a club. We expect our coaches/players/parents to have a good attitude toward volleyball, each other and life!
Because let's face it, volleyball is our life!!!
