Garden State Elite Volleyball Club helped guide me on and off the court. When starting on the juniors program, my sophomore year, I began to fall in love with volleyball. However, club sports were a luxury not a necessity, so creating a plan to fund me playing was not easy. Amy Berry, and the wonderful staff at Garden State Elite, put exceeding time and effort into getting me in the travel program. From rides to practice and tournaments, to gear, to eventually being a scholarship recipient. Being a scholarship recipient gave me the extra confidence I needed to see the possibility of being a collegiate athlete. The club made the possibility a reality. They helped me reach out to universities, create highlight film for scouting, prioritize raising my gpa, and eventually signing to play at a D2 volleyball program. I am forever grateful to the club and amazing staff, and the support they gave to my volleyball career!
