I wanted [my daughter] to have a fun season and enjoy the game as well as learn to be a better player. I knew there was a lot of support for the coaches so I felt like I could lead her team even though I’ve never coached before. Throughout the season I got to know the other 7 girls on her team and it was so fun teaching them the skills and the joy of the game! Some of them it was their first time playing and it was awesome to see them learn how to play volleyball.

I coach because I love to teach. When my career path lead away from instruction, I sought out ways to stay involved in helping younger generations learn and thrive. The search led to USYVL. Being able to merge my love of instruction and volleyball was ideal! The organization is fantastic and allows me to stay involved in the community and really make a difference in the lives of so many young people. The ultimate reward comes at the beginning of each new season, meeting new faces and seeing how happy the familiar faces are to be back.

I was not going to coach at first, it was just a joke for my daughter BUT she said she didn’t mind if I did, so I did it. I’m glad I did, I think the girls taught me more than I taught them but we all had a good time and I would definitely do it again.

There’s nothing like seeing kids develop socially, emotionally and athletically through sports. I’ve coached soccer, basketball and lacrosse, but this was my first time coaching volleyball.

This year’s volleyball squad was all 2nd grade girls and our first few practices had me thinking that volleyball was too technical for kids this age.

I was totally wrong. By the end of the season the girls were passing, setting and serving with precision and care. More importantly they had fun, learned to compete, work hard and to win and lose as a team. Each girl made huge individual strides as athletes and as people and seeing this unfold before my eyes is why I coach.
