Jessica Poulos
14U Head Coach
My name is Jessica and I am the head coach for the 14U girls team. I have a wonderful husband and 5 kids. I grew up loving volleyball. I played outside hitter and middle blocker for River Ridge High School (1996-2000). I was offered an opportunity to continue playing at the collegiate level. I played DS/Libero for the Oregon Ducks and for Central Washington University (2000-2004). Volleyball gave me opportunities I wouldn't have had otherwise. Many of my strengths as an adult and business owner I owe to volleyball...hard work, determination, dedication. I have also built lifelong friendships. My goal in coaching is to help build confidence and strength in these young women while teaching solid mechanics of volleyball. I believe in positive coaching and building up each individual so they can reach their potential.
