A message from the Club Director

EVJ was founded by Richard and Deanna Anglin in 1990 and started with one girls team. Upon Deanna's retirement, my husband Rich and I officially took over EVJ in 2000. We were humbled and honored to be given the opportunity to build upon the foundation of the legacy and Tradition of Excellence the Anglin's created. For many years I enjoyed coaching for EVJ because of the Anglin's emphasis on integrity and their strong Christian values. Since taking over, our team strives to apply a servant leadership philosophy in effort to carry on the EVJ Tradition of Excellence. Since its founding, the success of EVJ's athletes has been and remains the #1 priority. I'm honored to say that as the longest standing club in the AZ Region, EVJ continues to strengthen it's foundation and we're creating a legacy of our own. 

We take serious the responsibility of carrying on the Tradition of Excellence and creating an environment that our families can call home. Please take a minute to meet our leadership and administrative team.

Warm Regards,
Jen Leo
