“I have been meaning to email you to say thank you so much for giving Daniela such a wonderful intro to volleyball earlier this year.  As you know, school was offering nothing in terms of sports and she really wanted to try volleyball.  Now, she has started 6th grade at Marymount and is playing volleyball at school and absolutely loves it.  She feels confident and is having fun.  No way it would be this easy if she hadn’t done HOT volleyball with you and the other coaches.  So, thank you.  She would pick up another class if she weren’t so incredibly overscheduled right now, but we look forward to doing clinics/camps when you offer them.  “

“Even though Skye doesn’t play volleyball competitively anymore, I want to thank you for working with her for so many years, teaching the team not just volleyball skills, but how to be a good team player, to mature as a person and to meet challenges.  She learned and grew so much personally during that phase – thanks again and best of luck to you.“

“All the girls had wonderful feedback and were so impressed with Sir Juan. There is no one quite like you…You help so many girls with confidence and character. In the world we live in that is so needed. You are really making the world better through your efforts and the example you are.”

“Thank you for putting together adult volleyball. It’s been a lifesaver and a dream of mine is coming true. I’ve always wanted to play this game and learn it. I’m finally getting a chance, thanks to you.”

“You are teaching these girls far more than volleyball.”

“She loved the game. She was so proud to be the example…She is very motivated and loves your coaching. She said, ‘I am glad to be back with Coach Traci! I missed her pushing me to be awesome!’ For this, I thank you!”

“Lily is off to a killer season, thanks to you. She’s starting and playing very well so far. Her serve is really her best weapon, but her hits are consistent now, and she’s starting to play with much more confidence.”

“HOT really improved my technique and taught me all the skills that my previous training didn’t. I definitely think my control over the ball is a lot better now and also my knowledge on transitions, etc. Overall, HOT was very helpful and I look forward to coming back.”

“I really liked the supportive atmosphere. I love Coach Traci’s passion and love for the game. HOT Volleyball is unlike any other program in NYC because the environment is so supportive and open. I reached my goal of becoming a more well-rounded player.”
