Camille Davis
12U/14U - Assistant Coach
" I found my love for volleyball in sixth grade, and I’ve never strayed far from the court since! I played throughout high school and continued playing recreationally at UC Davis with both the men’s and women’s club teams. I also love competing in indoor and outdoor tournaments throughout the community and especially enjoy the energy, competitiveness, and fast pace of the game.
As a nursing student, volleyball has become more than just a sport to me. It’s a way to manage stress, stay active, and recharge during busy seasons of school. Volleyball has taught me so much about teamwork, perseverance, confidence, and believing in yourself, and I hope to share those lessons with the girls I coach.
As an assistant coach, my goal is to help each player grow not only in her skills and understanding of the game, but also in her confidence and love for volleyball. I’m excited to encourage my players, celebrate their progress, and help create an environment where they feel supported, challenged, and excited to be part of the team. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together!"
