Happy Friday! I’m working on the next installment of the ATN Newsletter 📰 and wanted to share some info & events! I hope you read this through and continue to help support my mission and goals and share this with your friends and families! Growth is a community involvement activity. It takes a village!

I’m pretty excited to host Big Brothers Big Sisters Kansas City next week for a bigs & littles intro to volleyball night. I wanted an activity that both the big and little can participate in together, learn together and have fun together. Super stoked! Big Brother / Big Sister Night (private event)

Next Saturday, Jun 6th, is Minskys (LENEXA location off College & Pflumm) DAY 🍕for Above the Net / Tidal Waves. Call it a YUMraiser, if you will! Whether dining in, carry-out, delivery…drop our name. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙏🏽 - share this with your friends and family!! Proceeds from this YUMraiser go toward keeping my clinics and camps at reduced rates, court costs etc.
My mission has and continues to be able to provide volleyball instruction at affordable & reduced prices with small class sizes for youth in the metro. This YUMraiser will go along way toward that! It’ll be the first but not the last! I’ll be there on-site hosting my 4 youth teams first Awards 🏆🥇🥈🥉luncheon that’ll recognize the top servers, hitters, acers and MVB (most valuable baller - team leader) and player stats.
Curious about what that looks like, feel free to check it out! I’ll be there from 11a-2p. Have questions, want to meet other parents or just chat old school style (face2face) 1p-2p is social hour. Fingers crossed, I hope to see you there! Minsky’s Night with Above the Net

I want to thank everyone who has helped me, supported me and encouraged me to pursue my passion. YOU made this possible!! I am truly blessed! 💖🏐💖

Today, our girl, Jaylee, graduates high school. She is such an exuberant person! She just started playing volleyball this year. At the end of our final game, she came to me and said “what do I do now, I just got started?!” Then she followed it up with — adult sand volleyball?! 😂🏐 This girl has heart and determination. Since she was new to the sport, our team rallied around her to help her feel comfortable learning the sport. Number 7, signing off and who knows what the future holds! 💖 CONGRATS!
