A Carson native, Coach Lyanna brings high-level playing experience, a championship coaching résumé, and a genuine passion for helping athletes become the best versions of themselves.

Lyanna played nine years of club volleyball with Mizuno Long Beach and Seal Beach and was a four-year varsity athlete at Bishop Montgomery High School. In 2017, she helped Mizuno Long Beach capture a USAV gold medal before attending Long Beach State University.

She has built an impressive coaching career across both the club and high school levels, spending seven years with Mizuno Long Beach and SC Rockstar, three years with Team Rockstar, and five years coaching within the boys’ and girls’ volleyball programs at Los Alamitos High School.

🥈 13U Silver Medalist — Team Rockstar, 2023
🥇 14U National Champion — Team Rockstar, 2024
🥉 15U Bronze Medalist — USAV Girls Junior National Championship, 2025

Lyanna coaches because she wants young athletes to grow, develop, and fall in love with volleyball the same way she did. Her goal is to support and challenge every player while helping them build confidence, character, and a strong foundation both on and off the court.

She is excited to begin a new volleyball journey at Surfside, connect with our athletes and families, and help build an incredible culture!

Leading the next chapter of Surfside Volleyball Club.

Our vision is simple:

Create an environment where athletes become better learners, better competitors, and better people.

We believe coaching is one of the greatest responsibilities we have. The lessons learned through sport—resilience, leadership, communication, accountability, and teamwork—extend far beyond the court.

As we move into this next chapter, we are committed to creating an athlete-first environment built on consistency, connection, and long-term development.

We’re excited for what’s ahead.
