Being a part of Birmingham Beach Volleyball was a fundamental part of my childhood and helped shape me into the strong, resilient person I am today. Each coach took the time to truly get to know me and supported me not only on the court, but in every aspect of my life, whether it was learning how to read the ball or working through problems I was facing in school. Birmingham Beach became my second family, and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to play alongside such incredible players and coaches. Growing up playing for Bham Beach was one of the greatest blessings of my life, and I will always be thankful for it.
