Kassidi Gilgenast has a wonderful legacy with the sport of volleyball, having grown up on the court. The daughter of volleyball coaches, Kassidi is at home on the court, whether as an enthusiastic player, coach and/or advocate of the sport.
Kassidi has been a loyal player for 25 years and counting, shining on the court as a DS and Libero. Kassidi began playing in middle school, and has never stepped off the court since - playing in middle and high school, and throughout college at the University of Colorado, Boulder, (Sko Buffs!). She also played with club teams including Thundercats VBC, Altitude VBC, and Pikes Peak VBC.
Kassidi has been coaching for 15+ years, and loves the Ruckus drill, the most. Kassidi says it is her goal to give more kids the opportunity to play volleyball, and develop a love of the game. She wants to support each athlete to achieve their personal and athletic goals. Ultimately, Kassidi wants to build one of the most competitive and positive volleyball clubs in Colorado. Not only is Kassidi one of our Developmental coaches, but she is also our Club President!
Something interesting about Kassidi is that she had the opportunity to travel with Team USA to the Paris Olympic Games in 2024. Kassidi worked with USA Volleyball’s High Performance program for 4 years.
