I want you know how so very loved and treasured you were by Hannah. She has struggled with coaches over the years , and never really felt like she got the coaching she wanted or even deserved - no matter how hard she worked.  She had a hard time feeling supported in volleyball, being a short girl, until she worked more with you this past summer. 

With you and your team of girls, she felt at home. She adored you, your coaching style, and most importantly the confidence you inspired in her - not to mention the incredible team of athletes you put together this year.  I have NEVER seen her more confident than when she was playing with you. It was like she finally saw herself clearly, and it was a beautiful thing. 

And, you, Julietta, and Flo were are so incredibly kind to her - and that mattered to her deeply. She appreciated the kindness and warmth you all radiate. And so do I. 

Thank you for making my girl a part of your volleyball family. She wanted to finish out her high school career with you, and I am just devastated that doesn’t get to happen. 

I just wanted you to know how you’ve touched her life, and therefore mine. We are a volleyball loving family, and I hope to continue to support you from afar. We are working on a scholarship fund in Hannah’s name for volleyball at the very least. 

I can’t thank you enough, truly. Take care of those girls.  I hope you have a wonderful end of season - I will be following along. ❤️

With love and gratitude,

Dardo Olivera's extraordinary understanding and passion for the sport of Volleyball is based on a lifetime of experience. Volleyball is in his blood and how he coaches his players is a pleasure to watch. Having played competitive sports from grade school through college, I can confidently say Dardo Olivera is one of the best coaches I have seen. He has the rare ability to find the strengths of every player, teach them the strategy and skills needed to reach new heights, and combine the individual players into a team with a winning chemistry. I would highly recommend the School of Volleyball to anyone who wants to become a skilled player, push themselves to meet difficult challenges, and be a part of a positive, fun, and inspiring environment.

Let me count the ways... The entire family is highly invested in the success of the players and the program. It doesn't feel like my child is one in a sea of players. Her confidence and skills blossomed almost immediately under his coaching. Most importantly, Dardo Olivera, is an incredible human. His compassion, strength and integrity are all qualities I long to see in adults who influence my children. My only fear is that as more people learn about this treasure of an organization the more competitive it will be to get a spot on the teams (I kid. I kid....Kind of).
