The AiR CiTY CHiX coaching staff is one of the best in Southwest Ohio. I personally have played with, played against, played for, coached against, coached with many of the coaches on our staff - I can attest to the fact that their passion for volleyball rivals my own and those of you who know me, know that I am passionate about volleyball! And, the AiR CiTY CHiX coaching staff wants to share a little bit of that volleyball passion with you and your daughters!
All of our coaches have PLAYED volleyball at some level - high school, college, club, adult club or adult leagues. Almost all of us have played high school volleyball - we were most improved players, most valuable players, offensive leaders, defensive leaders, career record holders, all-league, all-district, all-state, league champions, district champions, regional champions and state champions. Many of our coaches have college volleyball playing experience, several were volleyball scholarship athletes, college MVP's, collegiate all-americans and all-conference players, and national championship qualifiers. Most of us have also played adult club volleyball within the USAV (or USVBA as it once was known). There are adult club volleyball regional and national champions, and college coaching honorees among us.
Our coaches have, combined, 175 years of volleyball COACHING experience! We have coached grade school, CYO, junior high, high school, all levels of club, and college volleyball.
We've mentored players who are just figuring things out and we've created state champions. We've been camp clinicians and program founders. Some of us were coaching when there were no liberos or rally scoring or overhand passing and some of us know of nothing else. But, what binds us together is our love for the sport and our desire to give something back, to help inspire another young athlete and pass on the passion for volleyball that motivates each of us!

"I love this game! I played competitively for years and loved every challenge that volleyball presented; whether in building skills through practice and communication, or mastering the techniques and fundamentals. I had really great mentors and coaches to bring out the best in me, not only has a player but as a teammate and individual as well. I continue to use those skills learned in my everyday life. Due to a knee injury, I retired my court shoes and became an official at the club and collegiate level so I could stay involved in watching young men and women play and love the game that taught me so much. I am looking forward to joining the AiR CiTY CHiX staff as an assistant coach to pass down what I have learned and experienced, and to see players grow and gain confidence in themselves."

When I was finally old enough to play on a team myself, each team also felt like a little family. In my opinion, coaching (and learning) teamwork is even more important than the skills of the sport. Those are the lessons that last a lifetime."

"I love this game. The opportunity to pass the love of volleyball onto others who are at the early stages of their volleyball career is something I am thrilled to be able to do. I coached for the ChiX after finishing college, then took some time off to be with family, and now I'm excited to be coaching again and give back to the sport that has given me so much."

reason for coaching AiR CiTY CHiX
"I became aware that my enjoyment in the game was not only in playing it, but in sharing that joy with others as I saw my abilities advance and teamwork thrive. This insight gave me the inspiration to pursue the ambition of becoming a coach because I want to share my expertise and enthusiasm with aspiring athletes in order to develop their skills and promote teamwork both on and off the court. My way of giving back to the game that has given me so much is by coaching volleyball and encouraging the upcoming generation of athletes to feel the same enthusiasm and joy I have discovered within the sport."
