A message from Coach Charlie:
I am excited to be back coaching with EVJ. My love for the game of volleyball began when I was in second grade, playing with my mom and her friends at the sand courts in Las Vegas. I started playing on a team when I was in fifth grade and continued playing through high school on the Varsity team and in club. I have been blessed to continue my volleyball career into college at Benedictine University in Mesa and won a national championship in 2019! I am excited to coach because I feel like I can learn a lot and grow as I share my knowledge of the game. I have always loved to compete and love to bring my competitive nature to the court. I look forward to helping young athletes achieve their athletic dreams.
