This will be Dani's first year coaching with Viper Volleyball. Dani was a competitive player in high school, club and college.
Dani has been coaching volleyball camps and giving private lessons in San Diego and Atlanta for the past six years. In addition, for the past two years she coached club teams in Atlanta with Tsunami Volleyball Club. In 2009, she took the Head Coaching position at Linfield High School and will be joining the Viper staff.
Dani loves that volleyball is centered on the team, on a group of young women or men working together for common goals. At Emory, her team became her family and that is the type of caring, supportive, and competitive environment that she wants to create for her teams at Viper.
Dani recently finished her college career in 2008. As captain, Dani led Emory University’s team to win the NCAA DIII National Championship in 2008, which was a first for Emory volleyball. The team was very unique and the NCAA recognized three of the players as All-Americans, and five as All-Conference selections, including myself. In addition, Dani was recognized as an Academic All-American, received an NCAA Post-Graduate Scholarship and is currently one of the nine finalists for the 2008 NCAA Woman of the Year Award. It was truly a remarkable season.
Dani played at San Diego Volleyball Club for her 14s and 15s seasons, and then finished up her club career with Epic on their 17-1 and 18-1 teams. I am truly looking forward to returning to southern California style volleyball! Although her playing career is now finished, she looks forward to a lifetime of coaching and staying close to the game.
