My daughter played there last season and we had such a wonderful experience. The directors, the coaches, and the atmosphere are all so positive — it really helped boost my daughter's skills and confidence.

JMU Libero #3 · 2× CAA Champion · Cincinnati Native
She's from here. Lakota East grad. Cincy Classics kid.
Before she was a two-time CAA champion libero at James Madison, she was a Cincinnati kid who didn't even pick up volleyball until sophomore year of high school — and then decided she was going to be great at it.
And she was. GMC First Team. All-City Third Team. Cincy Classics standout. Then she went to JMU and turned into one of the most reliable backcourt players in the conference — 566 digs in a single season at 5.05 per set, a career-high 34 digs in a single match against VCU, and two CAA Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Her teammates talk about her the way you want any 12U athlete to be talked about. “She instills a lot of confidence in us when we're swinging. I know she's behind me. She'll cover me.” — that's a JMU outside hitter talking about Sarah. The other word her teammates use? Goofball. The energy she brings to the back row is contagious — and that's the exact mindset a young libero needs to build.
English major. Dean's List 2018. Two CAA conference championships. And now she's back in Cincinnati to teach the next generation of liberos what she had to figure out on her own.
The 12U window matters. Ages 11–13 is when club coaches start choosing who gets the libero spot at 13U tryouts — and the athletes who walk in already comfortable on a platform are the ones who get it.
