LEADERSHIP

Respect Volleyball is excited to welcome Harper Alford and Sophia Martin as co-founders and co-chairs of our Junior Advisory Board. Ultimately, volleyball is for the girls, so having youth leaders and their perspective on the experience, direction, and leadership is important. Respect Volleyball's Junior Advisory Board Members are developing a two-lane mentoring program. In the first, high school athletes are matched with younger volleyball players as one-on-one mentors, meeting monthly in person and virtually to offer encouragement, to review game film, to practice together, etc. Meetings may be virtual or in person. The second lane is pairing members of our Junior Advisory Board with middle school programs that are under-resourced and allowing our seasoned players to work directly with coaches and players on specific skills or mini camps.
