Stephanie
With Coach Leyden's help, I transformed my serve into a consistent, reliable strength in games. He challenged me to work on my blocking and spiking in the front row, and encouraged me to play both front and back row positions so I could develop as a versatile player. I always felt seen and supported in my growth.
Ananya
Coach Leyden helped me develop better front-row techniques, encouraging me to block and spike with confidence. He also made sure I played both front and back row positions, believing I could be successful at both and always balancing my practice to improve all my skills.
Bella
Coach Leyden separated me from my usual teammate during drills because he genuinely believed in my leadership. He saw the potential in my defensive skills and encouraged me to take charge on the court, helping me grow as both a player and a leader.
Khloe
Coach Leyden inspired me to try the front row, focusing on blocking and spiking instead of just playing it safe. He rotated me through both front and back row positions during practice, helping me use my potential in every area of the game.
Venice
Coach Leyden understood my strengths and focused on making my underhand serve consistent. Instead of pushing me to switch to an overhand serve like my teammates, he boosted my confidence and made me a solid contributor to the team.
Ceyla
Coach Leyden taught me the techniques and gave me the confidence to play the front row. Thanks to him, I learned to block and spike instead of just sending over free balls. His belief in my abilities really pushed me to excel.

Youth players
Working with kidsThe primary focus with younger and smaller kids is working on proper fundamentals technique of skills (bumping, setting and serving) and communicating to keep the ball in play on defense and directional hitting for offense as size limits net attacks of Hitting and Spiking.
Working with teenagersAfter fundamentals skills are established. Focus shifts to more advanced Serving (topspin & jump serves), positioning on serve and serve receive and transition to set positions during live play with transitioning from offence to defense. This includes more advanced net play of hitting/spiking and blocking and also digging. With more advanced skill comes more advanced strategies and set plays to attack rather than just keeping the ball up and over the net.
