Kentucky Performance Volleyball

💗 16 Pink Carlee, what a season it has been. 💗

This team’s story was one of resilience, commitment, and heart. From the beginning, they showed up ready to work, willing to learn, and determined to keep getting better. They embraced the little things, the extra reps, the tough practices, and the moments that don’t always show up on the scoreboard. Those are the moments that built this team.

At Nationals, they stepped onto one of the biggest stages and competed in a high division against some of the toughest competition out there. Four days of intense volleyball, long battles, and nonstop effort. They never backed down and continued to play with grit, passion, and heart.

We could not be more proud of the growth, effort, and character this team showed throughout the season. Their commitment to each other, their willingness to do the small things, and their ability to come together as a team made this season one to remember.

Thank you, 16 Pink Carlee! You will be missed! Good luck in your high school seasons. Keep working hard, keep competing, and continue being the amazing athletes and teammates you have become. We will be cheering you on every step of the way! 🏐

🔔🚨COMMITMENT ALERT!🚨 🔔

We would like to celebrate and congratulate Danica Hooper (KPV 17U Pink- Carlee) on her commitment to Blackburn College!

Danica plans to study Pre- Nursing! 👩‍⚕️🩺

Her advice to younger athletes is “Be the person to do the hard things. If any time for extra reps are offered, take them. A friend asks you to go condition with them, do it. Any little extra second in a gym or on a court makes you better. You have to really want it instead of just spending time working on things during your given practice time. Even if that means spending time outside doing ball handling drills against a wall. Anything extra will show how bad you really want it. Don’t ever give up on your journey!!”

We are so proud of you, Danica and cannot wait to see all the wonderful things you will accomplish at Blackburn! ❤️🦫

🏆✨ Wave 3 AAU Nationals Champions! ✨🏆

What an incredible way to finish an amazing season! Our KPV National teams showed up, competed, and left it all on the court at AAU Nationals. After three straight days of intense competition, these teams battled through bracket play on day four and came out on top!

🥇 17U Carlee — 1st Place in Amethyst A | 17 Classic Division
🥇 17U Zach — 1st Place in Opal | 17 Spirit Division
🥇 16U Brooke — 1st Place in Topaz | 16 Open Division

Winning a championship is special, but the grit, teamwork, growth, and commitment these athletes showed throughout the entire weekend is what makes this group so incredible.

We are beyond proud of every player, every coach, and every family who poured their time and energy into making this season unforgettable. Thank you for trusting us, believing in this program, and giving everything you had every time you stepped on the court. 💗

Congratulations, champions! You earned it. 🏐🏆

HAPPY FATHERS DAY FROM KPV 14 PINK! Behind every serve, every practice, every road trip, and every dream chased is someone faithfully cheering from the sidelines. Today, we celebrate the fathers, father figures, and mentors who sacrifice, support, encourage, and love our athletes through every high and low.

🏅LUV MayFest GOLD Runner-Up
We are super proud of our girls this weekend. They fought, competed, and gave everything they had every match. Throughout the tournament, we had so many players rise to the level we believed they were capable of reaching, and that growth showed on the court. Of course, we wanted the championship win. But this weekend also showed us what we are capable of when we compete together, trust each other, and stay locked in on the little things. Now the focus shifts forward. We have to stay hungry, keep improving, and prepare ourselves for USA Volleyball Girls Junior National Championship. The work continues.

Proud of this team and the fight they showed all weekend.

Way to 👏 👏Work!

Second in silver this weekend. It definitely was not pretty at times, but there were moments where this team showed flashes of the potential we know they have. Proud of them for continuing to fight through the ups and downs, and we will keep building from here.

Proud of this group for their fluidity and willingness to adapt all weekend long. Things don’t always go perfectly in this sport, but this team continued to adjust, compete hard, and stay together through every challenge thrown their way. Their resilience, toughness, and ability to respond under pressure helped them battle their way to a 1st place finish in Silver! So proud of the fight, growth, and determination they showed every single match. This team continues to evolve, and it’s exciting to watch. 🩷🩵

Way to 👏👏Work!

Happy Mother’s Day to the women who do it all.

The moms who sit through long tournament days, late-night practices, endless loads of laundry, fast food dinners between matches, and early morning drives with coffee in hand. The moms who cheer the loudest, sacrifice the most, and somehow still find a way to pour love into everyone around them.

Thank you for the rides, the pep talks, the hugs after hard losses, the celebrations after big wins, and the constant support behind the scenes that nobody else always sees.

At KPV, we know our athletes are able to chase their dreams because of the strength, love, and dedication of the moms standing beside them every step of the way.

Today we celebrate you.
Happy Mother’s Day from Kentucky Performance Volleyball.

This week, we’re celebrating more than volleyball. We’re celebrating hard work, late nights, sacrifice, growth, and dreams becoming reality.

We are incredibly proud of our coaches who are graduating from college this week! Watching them pursue excellence not only on the volleyball court, but in the classroom and in life, is something truly special. At KPV, we believe success extends far beyond wins and losses. We want our athletes to see coaches who lead by example, chase their goals fearlessly, and continue growing in every season of life.

Coach Carlee is graduating from Brescia University with her Masters in Clinical psychology! Coach Keely is also graduating from Brescia University with her Masters in Clinical Psychology! Coach Shelby is graduating from Western Kentucky University with her Bachelors in Mathematics with a concentration in secondary education and a BS in middle grade mathematics! Coach Brookelyn is graduating from University of Louisville- Owensboro Nursing program!

To our graduating coaches, thank you for pouring into our athletes while also pouring into your own future. Your dedication, resilience, and commitment do not go unnoticed, and we are so proud to celebrate this milestone with you. The future is bright, and this is only the beginning. Congratulations Coach Carlee, Coach Keely, Coach Shelby, and Coach Brookelyn. We love you! 🩵👑🎓🩷
