A message from Coach Janeliss:
I first started playing volleyball when I was 11 at Caguas Criollas in Puerto Rico. Throughout the years I have had the chance to play all over the world as well as meet and learn from different people about the sport of volleyball. I am honored to be coaching at East Valley Juniors.  My goal is to help each and every athlete reach their full potential and crush their goals. I thrive to see tremendous growth and continual success with each of my athletes.
