I'd hope kids would see that our coaching style is a little different. We're trying to have more fun and not be so worried about mistakes. We're focusing on improvement. Some of the years when you have a legitimate state title expectation, it has been more intense. |

She is an excellent passer and defender, but the jumping at outside hitter is hard on her knees. You can tell she loves back row by how hard she plays. |
Sometimes, it's a little bit of a double-edged sword. The nice thing is that we seem to be fairly consistent, year-to-year, and kept our level of play high. It can also be a little unfair to some of the kids. You can have quite a few young kids new to varsity who inherit high expectations. It can be a lot to take. |
