I wanted to give you an update. Bre tried out for the HVMS team this week. She found out today that she made the team. I wanted to thank you and your staff for helping Bre develop some very good skills with the VIP sessions & Roanoke Catholic Camp. Six week ago she could not serve the ball over the net or pass very well but her skills have grown with you and your staff's help.

"Sam really is great! She is so encouraging. I wish I had a video of the girls the first time they met with her and again tonight. Sarah was doing great serving and then Sam started showing her to serve it short to throw the other team off. I love it! Thanks for all you do.
Maria Smith, mother of Sarah, Cave Spring c/o '13

"Dani had a fantastic time with Sam this past weekend. Even though she worked her butt off, she was smiling the entire time and left with a confidence I had not seen in a while.

"Tom, just in case you wanted some feedback on Sam Thomas, here it is:

 Julia had her best session yet tonight with Sam. She felt Sam did a better job of explaining things than anyone else she has had. I think it really helps that Sam was closer in age to Julia. 

Sam did a GREAT job, and I just wanted you to know it.

"Thank you for talking Aaron into working with the girls in July, he is an excellent instructor and Christine really enjoyed her lessons with him. He worked her out pretty good, she was dragging when she left tonight but I believe she gained some valuable skills."

Tommy Surface, father of Christine, Craig County High, c/o '10. Christine became the VHSL career ace record holder.

"Wow, I wish I could duplicate Aaron. He is a terrific instructor, and quite patient. Unfortunately, I know coaches like him don't grow on trees, but having met him and seen him work with Aidan at least helps crystallize the search for a coach who will be a good fit."

Frank Guilfoyle, father of Roanoke Catholic, Aidan c/o '11 and Mairan c/o '13

"Thanks so much for all of the lessons for Kelsey over the past year.  I just wanted to let you know that she went to the JV open gyms and instead of playing middle school this year Aaron King wants her to tryout for JV. This is a player who didn't make the middle school team in 7th but took lessons with you all year and then may play JV. You are the best!"

"You are so good with the girls - funny when there's time for it, firm when they need it. Thank you for all the hard work and working with Cailin for so long!! When she made the CSMS team, her coach told me she was an amazingly good setter for a 7th grader. I, of course, told her it was because she had been working with you! She absolutely loves training with you and looks forward to it all day long when we have a practice scheduled. She loves goofing around with you but also takes everything you tell her seriously. I know she would not be at the level she's at if we hadn't met you a year ago. Thank you so much!
Susan Smedley, mother of Cailin, Cave Spring c/o '13.





Training Camp at Floyd Co High School was awesome!
April 2, April 9-10, April 12, April 19 2007, then again March 24 and 27, 2008!!!  It was GREAT! I can't wait to go back!

Thank you SO MUCH for everything!!!!!  Aside from your obvious wonderful teaching and coaching, your positive encouragement and enthusiasm means the most to Macie (and me)!

Amanda and Jessie really enjoyed their time with Lauren yesterday. They said they liked it a great deal more and learned a lot more than at some of the camps they have been to. It was well worth the trip and money.  We wish that we could have taken advantage of these types of sessions at lot earlier in Amanda's vball career. Thanks for everything.

I wanted to thank you for the lesson tonight.  Cailin, once again, had a fabulous time. It is so rewarding to see how much she has improved since she started working with you. She came away feeling so good about herself tonight. Even though nothing she did was perfect, she felt like she'd really done a good job and that is totally a reflection of your attitude with her. We are so fortunate to have you to train and encourage our girls! I just can't express my appreciation to you enough!!

Madi's success is a credit to both you and Sam.  She has had such a good time and made tremendous progress. If you have a way of getting in touch with Sam, please let her know that the girls made the team and we truly appreciate all Sam did. She is great!   We definitely look forward to working with you more in the future as we travel down this road. I have a feeling that we are only at the beginning.
Laura Billings, mother of Madi, a member of the Cave Spring Middle team




August 1, 2008.  Please let Lauren know that her tips really worked for Jackie. She has worked really hard all week and is now not only serving correctly but they are actually going deep. We really appreciate all of her help.
Rhonda Boehling, mother of Jackie, a 9th grader at Salem High School.




July 20, 2008.    Chesley has improved so much and I was really worried about her with the time off for her surgery, etc. But thanks to YOU she has progressed so far and learned so much! You are so patient, kind and a tremendous teacher…I’m just so glad that we were able to get her in to work with you! Thank you for everything!
Beth Fobare, mother of Chesley, Northside High volleball player.




July 7, 2008.  "My girls were so motivated when they left player training! They improved tremendously in two hours because of the attention and concentration given to their weaknesses. Coach Houser knows the game but also realizes the critical importance of being attentive to the player, recognizing her strengths and weaknesses, then he explains what can be done to make the player better.   Explanations were given as to why you do certain things. We drove the distance and paid the extra money because he is worth it. As far as coaching goes, we have not met anyone that "coaches" as well as COACH HOUSER.  They are fortunate to have him as a coach because they are getting the best, we are fortunate that he's close by and doing what he loves. Thanks Coach Houser for enjoying your job, keep it up, it's contagious!" --Bedford Mom

Thanks so much for all you do. I don’t think you realize what a positive impact you have on the girls.

I wanted to let you know how much Erin enjoyed her session with Devyn on Sunday! We feel that it was a great practice and Devyn was very good with her, in assessing where she was and helping her improve on the many points they worked on. Erin definitely wants to work with Devyn, again, and I will let you know what works for us!

Stacey has improved so much since starting with you guys!  She had the talent for it, but I'm so excited to see her do better and better and I know she is excited!  Stacey said she got a good workout and Lauren taught her some things that she hadn't been shown before, which is great!
