Returning for another spectacular season with WPVBC, Coach Rachael, our 14u coach, has a great deal of experience to share with our players. Rachael herself played volleyball for 10 years, including middle and high school, as well as on club teams. Rachael specialized in the positions of setter and outside but has a well-rounded knowledge to impart. Rachael has coached for 6 plus years. She says it is her goal to "continue to coach and support the love of the game with generations to come. I love the volleyball community and watching the growth of all the players I'm fortunate enough to coach."
When not guiding young athletes, you can find Rachel watching her favorite show, Game of Thrones, or possibly painting. She loves to create landscapes, just like Bob Ross! Rachael's day job is with the US Forest Service, which suits her perfectly, because anyone who knows her knows that Rachael loves to be outdoors!

In her spare time, Brooke loves to binge-watch the TV show “Friends” as well as doing anything outdoors- hiking, fishing, included! Brooke’s secret talent: Art! While not the boasting type, Brooke is an award-winning artist! Next time you see her, ask to see some of her masterpieces!
