2024 Next Level Volleyball Season - Modesto Christian High School
Join us for our 1st season of Next Level Volleyball in Modesto at Modesto Christian High School! We are excited to get things rolling with our Next Level Sports staff and Coach Katie Kelley.
General Registration is now open for all players.
The Next Level Girls Volleyball program has been developed to provide aspiring volleyball players an opportunity to learn the basic skills and functions of competitive volleyball - at an introductory yet competitive level. Our program is aimed at the youth athlete who has 'some-to-none' exposure/experience with the game of volleyball yet would like to develop the core skills required to participate at a higher level in the future (club, middle school, high school). Our staff is comprised of current high school/club-level volleyball coaches who have taught the game to a wide variety of age groups - both at the more casual level as well as the elite club and elite high school levels. As traditional within Next Level, all teams will be mentored/coached with the assistance of a high school student-athlete involved within the game.
This program is instructionally based yet will contain head-to-head game activity as a secondary focus.

Site Director: Coach Katie Kelley
Coach Katie has had a passion for volleyball as far back as she can remember, asking her aunt to teach her the sport at just five years old. Many backyard after-school lessons for Katie turned into rigorous club competition ages 12 to 17. She also competed, in tandem with club, at both the middle school and high school levels, eventually going on to become a collegiate athlete.
Katie has used her experience as a player to assistant coach high school, and coach club players of all ages. To further her knowledge of the sport from a different perspective, she’s also officiated for Junior Olympic qualifier tournaments as a USA Volleyball referee. Born in Southern California, growing up in Reno, Nevada, attending high school in the Bay Area—her background has given her a broad perspective on the sport, and just on life itself. Coming from a Hawaiian family and culture, her sense of family, community, and intuition naturally reflects in her coaching style.
Coach Katie looks forward to making the volleyball program an integral part of Modesto Christian’s athletics. She will strive to make the sport a building block in students’ lives; one that not only builds them up as an athlete, but also encompasses the necessary tools to live life.
