Defense isn’t just about throwing your body at the ball like an over-caffeinated baby giraffe 🦒💥

Learning how to duck walk teaches athletes how to MOVE efficiently while staying low, balanced, and platform-ready. Hips stay under the ball. Center of gravity stays controlled. Feet and knees stay loaded for the next move instead of turning defense into a panic-slide-and-pray situation 😵‍💫

Good defenders don’t just react fast. They move smart.
Clean angles. Quiet platform. Efficient movement. Ball control wins rallies. 🔥

And yes… your legs will absolutely file a formal complaint after this drill. 😂

Practice make PROGRESS!

McKenna had been working really closely on timing for her quick 1s in the middle, and in this session we focused mainly on two things:

1️⃣ Keeping her hips open to the setter to help build more torque and power to our hit. (Power comes from our CORE and NOT our SHOULDERS!)

2️⃣ Reaching higher with our left (guiding) arm and as the left arm drops, we reach higher with our right shoulder and let her right arm whip through the top of the ball.

She made some great progress this Spring and I’m excited to see her continue to hone in on these mechanics. She’s a powerful athlete at just 14u!

The past 6 months with 12 Elite have been something truly special. From the moment I met these 13 girls during Fall Ball, I knew there was something different about this group. Thinking back to evaluations, tryouts, and our very first practice, they seemed so little, so eager, and so ready to get to work.

From our very first tournament together, we watched these girls connect instantly, and it was beautiful. They became fast friends, built an incredible bond, and carried that connection with them through every practice, every challenge, every win, and all the way through our final day together.

Their growth this season was phenomenal. Not just as volleyball players, but as teammates and young athletes. Physically stronger. Mentally tougher. Smarter in the game. More confident in themselves. They walked out of their last tournament today completely different athletes than the ones who walked into our first practice (and about 6 inches taller!), and I could not be more proud of them for that.

This team gave me so much to be grateful for. The laughs, the lessons, the busyness, the emotions, the highs and lows, the inside jokes, the celebrations, and the memories I’ll carry for a long time. They made me a better coach, and I am incredibly thankful to have been part of their journey.

Watching them grow this season was an honor. Cheering them on in what comes next will be even more exciting.

Once my team, always my team. We are volleyball family forever. 🫶🏐

From the very first practice to the final National Qualifier of the season… what a journey. 🖤🏐

Watching these athletes grow from the beginning of the season to now fills my heart in the biggest way. The work they put in, individually and together, shows in every clip. They committed to learning not only their own positions, but the responsibilities of every role on the court. My goal has always been to help create well-rounded athletes who can adapt, compete, and confidently step into any moment their team needs them.

They also committed to mindset training with and physical strength and agility training with . More than most 12 year olds would dedicate time for and ENJOY doing.

But beyond the skills and the training, what stands out most is their heart.

Their passion for competing. Their willingness to fight for every ball. The way they constantly lift each other up and celebrate one another. That kind of culture cannot be faked. It’s built point by point, rep by rep, day by day.

This team learned how to play STEADY. And honestly, that lesson matters far beyond volleyball. Life comes with highs and lows, momentum swings, pressure, and adversity. We can’t always control those moments, but we can learn to stay steady through them. Teams and people who do that often find themselves rising to the top.

12 Elite, congratulations on an incredible season. Your growth, determination, discipline, resilience, and love for this game and for each other has been amazing to witness. I will always be proud to have been your coach. 💫

One last regional tournament and then we’re headed into the off season! We got this!
