Coach Jayla's Coaching Philosophy - 

"I believe that there's a place in this sport for every athlete that loves it. I value the lessons I've  learned on the court, from teammates, and from my phenomenal (and not so phenomenal) coaches throughout my own volleyball career. I'm grateful for the incredible role models in my life and I want to be that for young adults. Most importantly,  I want to be part of their love for this sport but, teach them that this is only a small piece of their lives. I want them to know they are bigger, more valuable and more important than this sport and be part of  maximizing their potential as a human being...while also teaching them how to be an absolute animal on the court!"

She holds USAV-IMPACT and NFHS Level 1 certifications in volleyball coaching.
