want to and can make it... It will be sometime in January

I am so thankful that you and your staff are filling the
need to start our 'future' volleyball stars earlier with the VIP training. I hope
that you continue this program throughout the year.
Just think of the players the Roanoke area will produce if
we continue to start their exposure to correct technique in
elementary school, instead of middle school."

tell you that she loves you and loves working with you.
Another mom and I were watching your last game at the Bid Tournament and she commented
on how great you are at building a "team" as well as the
individual player. Keep on doing what you do best - the
volleyball world is blessed to have an asset like you in
it!! Yes, there is more than just instruction!
There's team!!"

gift!!!" |

have spent with Morgan teaching her about volleyball , a
good attitude, team building & the importance of
character. She listens to every word. Your experience as a
teacher, coach, parent & writer have all proved to be great
life lessons that kids need to hear today (not just from the parents)."

August 21, 2007. My daughter has still
not stopped talking about you, Maggie, Devyn, Scott,
etc.....She absolutely loved the camp at Red Lion! My daughter learned so much
in such a short period of time thanks to your camp and thank
you for your site with so much information. I hope you
enjoyed your trip enough to consider coming again!
Your kindnesses and your commitment to our girls and to the
sport are and were so very much appreciated. I'm sorry
I didn't get an opportunity to meet any of you in person to
welcome you. I'm sure you have received many replies
by now. Thank you again for blessing us in such an awesome way. Our best
to you, your assistants, your team and your family.

November 2, 2006. I
can't tell you how much I appreciate your email reply.
It really did help to calm the panic I have been
feeling! Thank you for giving me the information
to get started. We will definitely contact you and let
you know how things turn out! I also wanted to
tell you how much I appreciate the articles on your
website. Reading your articles really helped
me keep things in perspective. I will absolutely
recommend it to all the parents on the Varsity and JV
teams. Thanks again for taking so much time to help us.
Your love of kids and volleyball is evident from your
website and your articles. I can't get over how much
time you took just to reply to me. A complete stranger!
Your players & parents are very lucky to have you as
their coach!
