I started to play volleyball when I was 9 years old, and I played Club Volleyball up to Highschool level and College Volleyball after that. I also coached the College Girls Volleyball Team and coached volleyball skills lessons for future coaches at University of West, Timisoara, Romania.
I've been coaching volleyball skills at the Resource Center for about 3 years.
If you have a kid who wants to become better at setting/hitting or get better at defense on the court I can help them. I was a setter myself and a right side hitter. I love teaching/coaching volleyball and I'm looking forward to meet your student.
