I played underage until my second U17 season when I joined NAVC to finish 4th overall on the national stage. I played for NAVC again in U18 until Covid shut the season down. I continue to play in various leagues as well as recently helping coach the U15 Park elite team. I believe alot of important things can be learnt through volleyball, not to mention the provision of opportunities for extreme companionship. Now having the opportunity that my coach’s once had in my life, fills me with immense joy.
