About Us
Coach Karol
Welcome to Coach Karol's Volleyball! With over 25 years of coaching experience, I have had the pleasure of working with girls and boys of all skill levels and age groups. From children as young as 4 to teenagers as old as 18, my coaching methods are personalized to cater to each individual's needs.
At Coach Karol's Volleyball, we believe in not only working on the basic fundamentals of the game but also focusing on the strategic and mental aspects. We are dedicated to helping our players develop a well-rounded understanding of the sport and to improve both on and off the court.
My coaching efforts have gotten many players to high levels of competition. My teams have won club tournaments as well as CYO championships. I was inducted into the CYO Coaches' Hall of Fame. I am a four year letterman in Volleyball, basketball, track and field, and softball at Baldwin Wallace University and Magnificat High School. I have been inducted into both Baldwin Wallace University and Magnificat High School's Athletic Halls of Fame.
