About Kelli

Coach Kelli brings more than 33 years of coaching experience and a lifelong passion for the game of volleyball. She began her playing career with Austin Juniors and continued competing for five years with the Texas A&M University Club Volleyball program before transitioning into coaching in 1992.

Throughout her coaching career, Kelli has worked at every level of the game, including club, middle school, high school, and collegiate volleyball. Her experience includes coaching with Brazos Valley Juniors, San Marcos Volleyball Club, Outlaw Volleyball, Del Valle High School, San Antonio College, and numerous successful club programs throughout Central Texas. She has coached athletes from developmental levels through nationally competitive teams and has helped develop players both on and off the court.

When asked about her coaching philosophy, Coach Kelli believes volleyball is about much more than wins and losses. She strives to teach Discipline, Accountability, Commitment, and Character—life lessons that athletes will carry long after their playing days are over.

Outside of volleyball, Kelli is a proud single mom of two amazing adopted children and is passionate about helping young athletes grow into confident, successful young adults.
