QUEEN CITY PLAYER SPOTLIGHT ๐๐๐
Meet Elsie White โ 14U
Sheโs got range, confidence, and just enough sass to keep things interestingโฆ for both teams and the refs ๐
Elsieโs Quick Hits:
๐ต Hype Song: Breakinโ Dishes (yeahโฆ that tracks)
๐ Snack of Choice: Pineapple โ sweet, but donโt get it twisted
๐ Favorite Skill: Hitting sharp corners like sheโs aiming with GPS
๐๐ถ Mascot Energy: A dog with a crown and capeโฆ loyal, fearless, and a little dramatic (we LOVE it)
What Elsie loves about Queen City:
โI love how everyone supports each otherโeven when you just met them.โ
๐ Thatโs the good stuff right there.
What her teammates roast her for:
Letโs just sayโฆ Elsie has thoughts when a ref makes a questionable call ๐
(Weโll call itโฆ passionate communication ๐)
Elsie brings confidence, fire, and corner-sniping precision every time she steps on the court ๐๐๐
Keep swinging, keep talking (maybe just a little less to the refs ๐
), and keep being YOU.

๐๐ COACH SPOTLIGHT ๐๐
Meet Coach Mya Amann โ bringing the energy, the fun, and the โletโs go somewhere right nowโ vibes to 13U Gold. ๐โ๏ธ๐ฅ
We asked. She delivered. ๐
Whatโs something fun about you that only a friend would know?
I am a very on-the-go person, I would drop anything to go on a vacation!
If you could have a snack food supplied for you at every tournament, what would it be?
carrots & cucumbers with ranch!!
How did you get connected to Volleyball and Coaching?
Coming out of high school I always wanted to stay connected to volleyball. I saw a couple of my friends coaching at Queen City and I wanted to join them ๐
If you could pick any song as your coaching walk-out anthem, what is it?
Pour it Up - Rihanna
Whatโs one piece of advice that you really want to impress on your girls this year?
to not forget to have fun, it goes by fast and you will miss it!!
๐ฅ Translation (Queen City Edition): ๐ฅ
Always packed. Always ready. Probably already booked the next trip. โ๏ธ
Snack game = fresh, fueled, and ranch is non-negotiable.
Loves the game too much to leave it โ so she stayed to build it.
Walk-out anthem = confidence turned ALL the way up.
And the heartbeat? Donโt miss the joy. Because this season? It flies. ๐๐
13U Gold โ youโve got a coach whoโs bringing energy, perspective, and a reminder that yesโฆ we compete hardโฆ
โฆbut we also laugh, grow, and love every second of it. ๐๐

We might be a liiiiittle late on this oneโฆ ๐
Turns out the guy who runs these posts also works at a church and needed a solid post-Easter nap ๐๐
But heyโwhether you went to church ๐
Whether you dominated an egg hunt ๐ฃ
Whether you were in the gym getting reps ๐
Or just ate way too much candy (no judgment ๐)
We hope your Easter was GREAT!
Likeโฆ full of joy, family, laughter, and maybe a little chocolate-on-your-face kinda good ๐๐ซ
โYour slightly late but still loves-you Queen City fam ๐๐

๐ QUEEN CITY PLAYER SPOTLIGHT ๐๐
Meet Maddie Owens โ 14U
If you hear Mr. Brightside playingโฆ just know Maddieโs either about to serve rockets or dig everything in sight. No in-between.
Maddieโs Quick Hits:
๐ต Hype Song: Mr. Brightside (main character energy, obviously)
๐ Snack Game: Goldfish + protein bars = fueled and ready
๐ Favorite Skills: Serving heat + digging everything (good luck getting it down on her)
โก Mascot Energy: Something high-energyโฆ basically if caffeine was a volleyball player
What Maddie loves about Queen City:
โThe friends Iโve made and how the coaches are always willing to help you.โ
(We love a squad that gets better and tighter ๐)
What her teammates roast her for:
Using WAY too many traction pads on her shoes ๐
Like Maddieโฆ are we playing volleyball or climbing a rock wall??
But heyโif it keeps her locked in and flying around the courtโฆ weโre not complaining.
Maddie brings the energy, effort, and just a little extra grip every time she steps on the court ๐๐๐
Keep going, Maddie! We see you.
