With eight years of volleyball instruction, I foster skill and passion for the game. My coaching focuses on fundamentals, strategy, and building confident athletes. I believe in creating a fun and challenging environment where players thrive. I started learning how to play Volleyball in the 7th grade. Since my school didn’t have any volleyball programs for kids my age I wasn’t allowed to play until I got into high school. I was captain of varsity all my 4 years and my aces won my team 2nd place in districts. Our first ever trophy for girls Volleyball at my school. When I graduated I got asked by my high school to come back and help coach for the school. I felt a lot of gratitude about being able to help young girls who will soon be out into the real world and play for someone’s college. I promise I will teach you so many things about volleyball when you get out on the court you will be unstoppable!!!

"During the 2025 season of volleyball I’ve gotten to know coach Shaw more as a person and as a coach. She truly is one of the best coaches I’ve had over the years. She’s helped me and many other players with their progress in volleyball. Coach Shaw has connected with us as a group and I hope to have her continue to be apart of CPA’s volleyball team. - Alexia’
