Club Information
- Seasons of Club Experience
- 3 seasons
- 2020 Inspire Volleyball Club (Elite 17U)
- I was recruited to try out for the Inspire Club Team in Anchorage Alaska and was chosen to participate on the 17U squad. This involved traveling to Anchorage and back twice weekly while missing approximately a half day of school each time. This gave me a great chance to experience a very busy travel schedule balanced with a full school schedule and a part time job. It was great to have exposure to new players and coaching styles and I learned a lot about myself in the process.
- 2018 Arctic Volleyball Club (18U)
- Attending two tournaments. Anchorage, Alaska in late February and Crossroads in Denver, Colorado in mid-March
- 2017 Arctic Volleyball Club (AK) (15U)
- Challenging year during this season. Didn't meet personal or club expectations and will be working harder in 2018-19.

It was a joy watching you play and working with you.
