Kayla has been coaching here at YVC for 4 years. We are glad to have her returning this year for her 5th season. Kayla is an asset to our club as a coach, and she is our resident setting expert. She played 4 years of varsity volleyball as well as club volleyball. After high school, she went on to play very successfully at the college level. Kayla was MVP of her team in her Freshman year at La Sierra University and she led the entire league in assists. She is currently studying in an OTA program to be an occupational therapist. In her free time, Kayla enjoys ceramics, knitting, skiing and hiking.

This year is Gary’s 7th season coaching with YVC. He has played volleyball throughout most of his life, and has successfully navigated his own daughters through the process of turning their volleyball talent into college scholarships. His experience has helped many of our YVC alumni do the same. Gary is the administrator of the most awesome Nursing and Rehabilitation center in Redlands. His hobbies are trying to surf, playing volleyball and seeking God to save marriages.
