ANNOUNCMENT:
Hello All;
I have been thinking a lot regarding coaching volleyball and the club. After much thought, I have made the very difficult decision to step down from club volleyball coaching and dissolve Pine Bush Volleyball Club.
This has been one of the hardest decisions I have had to make in a very long time because this club has meant so much to me. I have truly loved every minute of being part of this amazing program.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of watching players begin their volleyball journey as young as 9 years old and grow into inspiring young women. While they developed into talented athletes and dedicated students, they also became role models for the younger girls coming up through the program.
One of the greatest joys of coaching has been witnessing the growth of these athletes both on and off the court. Seeing so many of them become confident, caring, hardworking young women who contribute positively to their communities has been incredibly rewarding.
Through Pine Bush Volleyball Club, I have also made lifelong friendships and memories that I will always cherish. I am beyond thankful for all of the support, trust, and kindness that you have shown me throughout the years.
This club has been such an important part of my life, and I will forever be grateful for the opportunity to be part of so many athletes’ journeys.As many of you know, my family is expanding, and I do not want to miss the special moments that come with this new chapter of life. We all know how quickly time flies, and right now, my heart is leading me toward spending more time with my family.
To all of the players I have coached: I hope that when you look back on your years of volleyball, you remember not only the wins and the hard work, but also the laughter, friendships, team dinners, tournaments, and all of the great memories made along the way. Volleyball is about so much more than the game itself, and I hope those experiences stay with you forever.
Although I am stepping away from club volleyball, this is not goodbye to coaching entirely. I will still be coaching scholastic volleyball, so I look forward to continuing to see many familiar faces in the gym.Thank you again for 16 amazing years. Pine Bush Volleyball Club will always hold a special place in my heart.
With love and gratitude,
Coach Mel
