Athletes Testimonials
"Coach Z’s training throughout high school helped me break habits I had developed in volleyball through creative, personalized ways that actually made sense to me and truly resonated with me as an individual player. Coach Z was able to see things from my perspective as a young athlete, especially when it came to the confidence and mental struggles that can come with the game. Having someone who understood those struggles firsthand made me feel less alone and helped me become a more confident player!"

Parent Testimonials
"My daughter has dedicated herself to volleyball since she was 9. Last year, she did not make the high school team and was feeling down as we moved into club season. On media day, we met Zarah, who was new to coaching at the club but was going to be Allie's coach for the season.
Never have I ever met a club coach that showed up with packets for each player outlining her expectations and goals for the team on day one. From the minute we met her, she exuded a positive encouraging spirit that was contagious. I automatically felt confident that we were in for a good season.
Once practices started I was again impressed with her ability to assess the team, understand the strengths of the girls and remediate bad habits and errors. She worked very hard on fundamentals and kept the practices lively and active. Along with turning this group into a team, she also honed in on each player's needs. Allie worked hard on her defense, developed hitting skills and sharpened her serve. Zarah went as far as giving written feedback from each tournament, which again is above and beyond anything we've ever received.
Most importantly to me, she turned Allie into a confident player. Where she used to be the "little one" on the court, she now has grown into a force. She is more aggressive as a player and therefore a building block for a strong team.
The skills and confidence that Allie has gained because of her time with Zarah are priceless, and I could not be more thankful for the time we had with her. Allie made the school team the following year along with moving up a level for the club. Thank you Zarah for helping change her trajectory in the sport and build her confidence on and off the court!!
