Training History

Below is a overview of my playing and training since 2013 


It all began in the spring of 2013 at the YMCA with a practice and a game every week for ten weeks. That was the spark that lit the fire for my love of volleyball inside me.
 
 
That summer I played at a number of different training camps and clinics with different local clubs. I wanted to see what type of coaching styles would work best at the time to fit my experience, and optimize my game.  

 

In 2014 my next move  was to get involved with a local club that has been in the business for 20 years. The Naples Juniors. I tried out as a 12 year old and ended up playing up in the 13U team. I started out as second string and worked my way to become the starting outside hitter. The professional coaching brought out my natural abilities of speed and agility. With the coaching and team building of this club it inspired me even more. To not only push myself harder at every game and practice but to enjoy building respect and relationships with both my coach's and team mates. Below are the events and turnout from those matches.

The summer of 2015 was time to go to the beach and get sandy. I played in the 14U club even though I was 12 years old and was the youngest in the division. This did not slow me down and really made me push myself to a higher level of play with just one season of club volley ball under my belt. The work out was awesome, I really enjoyed the strategy and constant action of the game of beach volleyball.

2015-2016 Club
I tried out for three different clubs and made all three after much discussion decided to leave my first club and go with the largest club in the area USA South. I felt this would open me up to different coaching styles and an oppertunity to increase my skills and knowledge of the game I love so much. They offer me to play even further up into the 15U team put I chosen to still play up in a leadership position with the 14U. I was named  Player of the month first month with USA South.
