Youth Co-Ed Volleyball for Youth in Grades K-12
Coach Casey Pyszczymuka, Owner
Coach Casey Pyszczymuka (Piz-a-muka) was born and raised in Hawaii, where volleyball is the king of all sports. She immediately caught the “volleyball bug” during her first practice as a 6th grader, and from that point on, the love she has for volleyball continues to grow. Being from Hawaii, she was fortunate to have played for (and with) a number of highly respected volleyball coaches/players in volleyball history. Through her experiences, she received top notch coaching by coaches who are/were the best in the nation. Casey is a strong believer in developing six rotation players and believes that every player should have strong ball control regardless of their volleyball position(s). The more tools in your toolbox, the better!
Casey believes that building a strong physical/mental/emotional foundation through positivity, setting high standards and teaching proper technique are key to developing successful and well-rounded athletes. As mother, former student-athlete and a former high school counselor, she truly believes in the development of the “whole athlete” by focusing on drills that will build on an athlete’s physical, mental and emotional state. She coached club/travel for 4 years, was the varsity coach at Cherokee HS (Georgia), is a director at ROCK Volleyball in KOP, and is the current (2021-present) varsity head coach for West Chester Rustin High School in West Chester (PA) and feels blessed to be able to work with players of all ages (5-18 years old) and stages in their volleyball journey.
