Comments:

I started the club to help Heritage Hall High School get to the next level. My first batch of girls went on to win four (4) consecutive State Titles. A couple of our former girls received All-American awards this season (2010) as well as a Big XII Freshman of the year. We have sent a lot of girls on to college with volleyball scholarships. Those scholarships have ranged from major DI to Junior Colleges and all in between.

I still run the club for several reasons and these are not in any sort of order:

1. Love of the game
2. Love getting to know these kids and watch them grow up and mature knowing all along we are helping mold them into better and more productive people
3. Making new friends,many that last a lifetime
4. Meets my needs for competition and also the satisfaction that comes with success

The rewards are many but at times it is extremely stressful and frustrating, yet that is part of what I love. This is the challenge of being the best we can always be and making sure our players and coaches are stepping up to reach the highest levels that they can, not only on the court but in the long run. MORE importantly, players and coaches are reaching the highest levels they can off the court and in their futures.
