More About Coach Karen
3 years ago my family relocated from Canada to the Tampa area and I have a passion for teaching athletes the fundamentals of volleyball and helping them develop their skills to be the best volleyball player they can be!
I have 20+ years of experience in volleyball: I played 4yrs College, played 15+ yrs club as well as 3 years beach volleyball.
Coaching experience: U13 club, women's AA leagues, YMCA, middle school and high school.
Typically I work with ages 10+ and players at all levels ((beginner to advanced).
Industry Certifications: USVBA member, CPR Certified, Direct Impact Trained, Safe Sport Certified, Florida Dept. of Education Coaching Certification, FHSAA Theory 1 &2 classes
I am also an Art of Coaching volleyball member which gives me access to clinics/videos/top coaches in the USA and recently I attended an AOC Volleyball coaching clinic in 2020 at the University of Tampa; Instructors were Russ Rose- former 43 year Penn State Coach & Terry Liskevych (USA Women's National Team Coach 1984-1996)
My volleyball accomplishments were when I lived in Canada. I was offered a volleyball scholarship at Humber College and played there for 4 years as an Outside hitter- our team went to Provincial finals 3X and Nationals once. At Humber I was team captain for 2 years and won numerous MVP titles and several athlete of the week awards leading the league in kills.
After College, I continued to play at AAA Women’s club level in Toronto and then moved to Montreal where I played in the Live League Women's A and several A level Co-ed teams. I also competed in several beach women’s 2 and mixed 4’s tournaments.
Typical Sessions (Depending on level of athlete- this will be adjusted)

• Deep dive with core skills (specific drills teaching technique)
• Volleyball overall game knowledge, pointers and tips
• Offense/defense specific training & drills
• Conditioning through drills
• Position enhanced specific work for outside hitters/middle blockers, (Basic work for setter position)
***Sessions will take place on an indoor court- facility is located in Brandon near Hwy #60 (Brandon Blvd) and N Kings***

Really great experience so far! I hope to keep improving with Coach Karen’s help.
Chasia (CoachUp client)
Karen challenged my daughter and was quickly able to assess those areas where she can become a stronger player. Looking forward to more sessions.
Lisanne (CoachUp client)
After two weeks at camp my daughter still needed help with technique so we hired Coach Karen to help. Not only did Julia get more from three sessions with coach Karen than she did from two weeks at camp, she made the JV team as a freshman! I highly recommend Coach Karen.

Rachel B/Past Sumner Head Coach (Testimonial)
Karen was the assistant coach/head JV coach at Sumner High School and the Academy middle school head coach. Her knowledge of the game, calm confidence, and coaching skills led to drastic improvement in the girls’ play and love of volleyball. Her passion to grow the sport and develop young athletes to have strong foundational skills is evident in how she coaches. She knows what she is doing!
