Amarillo Elite Volleyball (AEV)

2025 SCVA Red Rock Rave Girls National Qualifier:
Our AEV 18 National team ended their ‘25 AEV Club season this past weekend. To our Seniors, we will miss you fiercely! Thank you for your dedication and loyalty to AEV over the years. Thank you to the parents for giving of your time to support your athlete, coaches and AEV. We appreciate each of you more than you’ll ever know! You will always have a home with AEV! ❤️🏐

Congratulations to those Seniors moving forward with their volleyball career at the next level. AEV, Coaches and family/friends want to wish you each the very best!

Coach Mercadez: “The girls had a great weekend, winning 6 games and only losing 3 very close ones. The girls played together, had fun, and went out with a bang, going undefeated day 3. It has been a pleasure to get to coach each and every young lady and watch their progress on the court. 3 of our seniors are heading to play at the next level, and several of our juniors have already started the recruiting process. That's what's this is all about. It makes my coach heart happy. We are blessed to have got to know all 11 of these young ladies!🥰”

Coach Krista: “The girls left everything on the court this weekend! They played together as a team, played for each other, and played some of their best volleyball all season. I have loved getting to coach these ladies and I’m so excited that we have three girls going to play at the next level. All of these girls have grown so much this season, both on and off the court. I am truly blessed to know each of these young ladies and have them be a part of my life.”

Thank you so very much to both Coach Mercadez Saryoung & Coach Krista Caldwell for their time, training and dedication to this time over this past season. You both have gone far and above AEV’s coaching expectations! We love you both!

2025 Sunshine Classic Girls National Qualifier: Day 3
AEV 17 National finished #25 of 128 teams! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
AEV could not be more PROUD! These Ladies worked hard all weekend. Had a 6 Winning Streak. Fell short in our Crossover Match with tight scores and lost one more on Sunday with a tough tight set loss. “Could’ve or should’ve”, likely, but we learned some lessons from those 2 losses and will come back stronger. Gold was in sight and we battled hard, but left it all on the court in Silver and will be ready to fight our next tournament! AEV is so excited about this team this season! ❤️🏐☀️
