Madeline Sklar

Head Coach

EXPERIENCE

I played volleyball through middle and high school at Mt. Lebanon, and club volleyball at Renaissance! An ankle injury caused me to miss my junior and senior high school seasons. I played club volleyball in college at George Washington University. And, I still play volleyball several nights a week in adult leagues.

I just recently started coaching at South Park Middle School.

PHILOSOPHY

I think developing a love for the sport at a young age is crucial! I'm also big on fundamental skills - if you learn the fundamentals, love the game, and stay motivated, you can achieve big things.

WHAT I BRING TO THE GYM

Energy, drive, and compassion.

WHEN I'M NOT COACHING VOLLEYBALL

I am either playing volleyball, reading a good book, or hanging out with friends and family.

SOMETHING YOU PROBABLY DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME

A couple years ago, I hiked the GAP trail from Pittsburgh to Cumberland.
