When talent meets hard work, something pretty special happens.
And that’s exactly what we witnessed with Elli.
Elli has been coming in all Summer to work with Coach Chad on speed, agility, and jump training during her off-season of volleyball.
She showed up consistently with focus, enthusiasm, and was extremely coachable. Elli showed leadership by bringing in different friends or teammates, encouraging them and leading by example.
Elli’s hard work has paid off. She just made the varsity volleyball team as an 8th grader.
Yes, you read that correctly. She got waived to play on the high school varsity team.
We’re so proud of you Elli and can’t wait to see what you accomplish.
