A message from Coach Jessika:
I am so excited to be joining the EVJ staff this season and get back on the court. I took a few years off from coaching when I had my youngest daughter, but have been feeling the pull to get back at it. Volleyball has been a big part of my life since my very first season in 6th grade. I absolutely fell in love with the game and have been playing, coaching, or cheering on my daughter. I strive to cultivate the same love and passion for the game in the hearts of young athletes. I hope to better all athletes on the court building foundational skills and teaching hard work and dedication.
