My daughter has worked with Coach Coo since she was a shy 9 year old fresh off of the basketball court. Even when we were no longer on her team she continued to train her and take the time to mentor her. Coach Coo has invested in my daughter not only as a player but as a young lady, taking my quiet timid child, and turning her into a top ranked setter!

Coach Coo connects with youth girls in sports like no other. Her attention to detail in growing the basic skills of volleyball set a solid foundation to build upon as the young athlete develops. Her feedback is spot on and age-appropriate as each athlete learns the game. Your athlete WILL greatly improve with her guidance. My daughter Avery built her foundation with Coach Coo!

When I was first introduced to Coach Coo I did not completely understand the value of learning foundational volleyball—the initial skills every player needs that they can continue to build on year over year. I thought being good at volleyball was just about being able to hit the ball hard. I have four girls that play on top club teams in the North Texas region and learning the skills Coach Coo teaches is huge reason they’ve been able to have the success they’ve had. She stresses fundamentals and learning how to play the game the “right way”. As a result the players that train with her from a young age have a high Volleyball IQ. She is tough , but fair, and every player that works with her has fun. She is committed to helping kids reach their highest potential and has been a constant source of encouragement for my girls. I would recommend Coach Coo for any family seeking to solidify their child’s volleyball skills and understanding of the game.

Coach Coo is an amazing coach and individual. She truly loves coaching and it shows. She’s knowledgeable passionate, loyal, tough, firm and encouraging. My daughter truly thrived under her tutelage. Coach Coo taught her not only the skills of volleyball but to be confident in herself as a person and a player. Coach Coo installs her love of the game in every player she works with. Players thrive under her. I love that my daughter had the opportunity to learn from Coach Coo.

Coach Coo is an amazing coach and human being. I felt as though she was an extension of me as a parent when my daughter was under her teaching. She is a fundamentalist and any player will grow under her guidance. She is SO invested in her players and her desire for her players to be successful as volleyball players and kids is palpable. Hands down, the best coach we have had!!

“I was on Coach Coo’s 9s team when I was younger, and she is still the best fundamentals coach I have had. She is great for people that have just started volleyball and for players that want to sharpen their technique. Coach Coo has a great intensity level and she wants the best for all of her players. Coach Coo will be a great fit for any player.”

Coach Coo gave me the confidence that I needed at a young age. When I came to Madfrog I was shy and not assertive. I was very unsure of myself and my abilities. Having Coo as a coach taught me to be confident in who I am and she gave me the skills to know that I am more than capable of achieving anything I put my mind to. It really gave me the confidence boost I needed not only on the court but for life in general. Now I use that confidence as a broadcast tv meteorologist where I engage with the public daily on local tv screens and community events. I have learned to go after my dreams and am not afraid to let my voice be heard.

Having Coach Coo as a coach is a true blessing for Amia. As a beginner she encouraged her to be her best. She pulled out her strengths and more importantly when she was discouraged she comforted her and reiterated the importance of using mistakes to grow. Coach Coo is very intentional and technical and that is what we love about her. She doesn’t just coach, she loves on our daughter as well.

Coach Coo is absolutely amazing! Her energy and enthusiasm is contagious. Her coaching style not only develops strong fundamental skills and discipline but her approach, more importantly, builds confidence in young girls to believe in their ability to reach new heights on and off the court.

Where do we even start? Leighton has been extremely blessed to have Coach Coo as her coach for not only one, but two seasons! When we asked Leighton what her favorite thing was about Coo, she said " she always pushes me to do better". This statement couldn't be more true! Coach Coo's passion for these players is evident in every practice and tournament. Our girl has struggled with confidence and the ability to believe in herself over the years. Not only has Leighton grown in skill level, but more importantly she is finally seeing herself the way everyone else does. Coo has instilled so much confidence in Leighton on and off the court; and for that, we will be forever grateful!

Coach Coo, was my daughters favorite coach of all time. She learned so many things from Coach. She learned how to compete in high pressure game situations and how to persevere and strive for excellence. To this day, Coach Coo and that team is Mackenzie’s favorite Coach and team. We wish Coach success in endeavors!!

Starting my daughter’s volleyball career with Coach Coo was one of the best things we ever did. Your child will be taught the proper way to do things, as she will hold everyone to a standard of their own maximum effort and ability. Coach truly cares for the athletes she coaches and the excitement she brings to the gym with her is contagious to her players.
Stephanie & Maddie McSpadden
Coach Coo is one of the best coaches out there. She will push your daughter and bring out the best in her. She will always be my daughter’s favorite Coach!!

Coach Coo is a wonderful role model and the best possible Coach to select and entrust with your child’s volleyball development. We had heard of her excellent program and reputation through an array of friend’s who’s daughters all played for her and we will forever be grateful for the experience of having her as our daughters coach because we got so much more from her. I now realize that she brought out the very best in our daughter. Coach Coo does set a very high expectation for her players and brings her love of children, love of life, passion for volleyball and expertise to every player. I look back in awe of her ability to foster a positive attitude, drive to be your best and know that she built a resiliency in our daughter that will serve her through out her life. Those are not only fundamental to volleyball but also a critical skill set for life. Her expertise in teaching the fundamental skills and technique have earned her a reputation unrivaled in North Texas but I believe she has a unique blend of resiliency, strength, compassion, love of life, respect, and accountability that she gifts each child with as well and that is her greatest gift. Do not miss this opportunity to have Coach Coo develop your Childs best self. We are so grateful we did.

I'm a firm believer that in life, every single person has a gift and a purpose. It is without a shadow of a doubt that Coach Coo was conceived to serve the youth of society. She has a gift that has been embedded in her DNA that allows her to not only connect with athletes, but to do so in a manner in which he/she will know that her passion and desire for their growth will forever exceed any statline. Coach Coo's knowledge of the game, passion, ability to differentiate, resilience, and humility is something that every child on earth should have the opportunity to experience. It would be that very experience that will unquantifiably empower and shape any student athlete while inside as well as outside of the playing field.
