Nicole Marang
Club Director

BIO: 
Hi there! My name is Nicole and I have been in love with Volleyball since the first moment I played in 7th grade. I begin playing club volleyball in 8th grade and played for 5 years having played for Tri-City Juniors and Columbia Juniors.  I went on to finish my playing career at Columbia Basin College on scholarship. In 2007 I coached my first team of U14s with Team Yakima and fell in love with the sport in a whole new way. After 6 Season with Team Yakima, I started my own beach volleyball club in 2017. During the Pandemic we expanded to be an Indoor USAV Club. Currently I am the Varsity Coach at La Salle High School. 

It has been an exciting adventure establishing my own volleyball club and adding indoor club as well. I look forward to many more season on the court and in the sand. My passion is U12/U14 as I believe that establishing a true love for volleyball as well as teaching players a strong foundation and fundamentals from the first time they touch a ball is the MOST IMPORTANT influence you can have on a player.  However, I also greatly enjoy coaching the competitive higher levels.

BIO: 

My philosophy: Coaching itself is complex, but yet it remains the best and the most enjoyable challenge I have found for myself. I believe playing sports as a child help builds character, confidence, and gives them a sense of accomplishment; but the most important, it prepares children for life by teaching them to work as a team. I want to change and shape lives with a sport that I feel has shaped me into the women that I am today, I strive to enhance the volleyball talents of my players, while developing their leadership skills, self-discipline, and work ethic to create well rounded individuals on and off the court.

In the past, I have coached U14 teams, along with some youth rec leagues, currently I am the JV Coach at La Salle High School. Volleyball has been a major part of my life in many capacities. I was first introduced to volleyball in 7th grade, “trying out” just for fun because my friends played. But I quickly fell in love with the sport and began my volleyball journey. I mostly played defensive specialist positions, but also trained as a setter.

Hi, my name is Tatum Marang. I have played 7 years of club volleyball for various competitive clubs and four years of competitive beach volleyball. I currently play Collegiate Volleyball for Cottey College, in Nevada, MO and am pursuing my major in education where I plan to become a kindergarten teacher. 

My passion is working with kids and I have helped coach beach and indoor for the last 5 years.
