Kasey Verna
Assistant Coach
EXPERIENCE
I have over 12 years of volleyball experience, mainly as a DS/Libero. As a Hempfield Area alum, I played on the high school squad for 3 years. I played for Keystone Club Volleyball while in middle and high school, then continued to play on the competitive club team at the University of Pittsburgh for 4 years.
I have always loved working volleyball camps and had my first opportunity to coach last year at the Starlings club in Philly. Looking forward to making my Pittsburgh coaching debut!
PHILOSOPHY
My coaching philosophy centers on empowering athletes to grow both as players and as people. My goal is to create an environment where players feel confident in who they are, on and off the court, and learn leadership and teamwork skills that extend far beyond volleyball. In the gym, I want players to show up excited to work hard and to make a commitment to getting better every time they step on the court.
WHAT I BRING TO THE GYM
A positive attitude & a very loud voice :)
WHEN I'M NOT COACHING VOLLEYBALL
I'm probably watching or playing!!! I also love to read, travel, work out, and make fun coffees on my espresso machine.
SOMETHING YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME
For the past few years, I have been helping work the East Coast Championships in Pittsburgh and NEQ in Philly!
