A message from Coach Bri:
I am so excited to be coaching at EVJ again. I have been playing volleyball ever since I was 12 years old and I am looking forward to continuing teaching my love for volleyball to my players. My biggest philosophy is helping my players grow as individuals and in a team culture on and off the court. I strive to create a positive environment where my players can be themselves, where their focus is to build on the fundamentals and skills to be successful at the game. I respect and value each one of my players and always expect the same in return, always creating a fun and successful growth season for everyone.
