Next up, we are excited to welcome back Coach India!
Entering her 14th season of coaching volleyball, Coach India brings a passion for athlete development and a wealth of experience to Emerald Coast Volleyball Club. A graduate of Southside High School in Arkansas, she continued her volleyball career through the collegiate level as an Outside Hitter while attending Central Baptist College.

Coach India began her coaching journey in 2013 during her freshman year of college with Conway Juniors. What started as an opportunity to stay connected to the game quickly grew into a lifelong passion for developing athletes both on and off the court.

Throughout her coaching career, Coach India has worked with athletes at every stage of development, from grassroots beginners to collegiate players. Her coaching experience includes Conway Juniors, Central Baptist College, and nine successful seasons with Emerald Coast Volleyball Club.

Over the years, Coach India has helped develop numerous athletes who have gone on to compete at the collegiate level, many of whom she began coaching when they were just 11 to 13 years old. Her coaching accomplishments include multiple Gold and Silver Division finishes throughout her time at ECVC, as well as being a member of the coaching staff that helped lead Choctawhatchee High School to the 2017 State Championship alongside Coaches Meaghan and Scott Allen.

Committed to continual growth as a coach, Coach India holds IMPACT and SafeSport certifications and has furthered her coaching education through Gold Medal Squared training.

Known for her encouraging, tough, and strategic coaching style, Coach India finds the greatest joy in watching athletes experience those breakthrough moments when hard work and persistence finally come together. She believes volleyball is about much more than developing skills. It is an opportunity for young athletes to build confidence, challenge themselves, and learn the value of being a great teammate.

Coach India hopes she has played even a small role in helping athletes discover a love for the game that will stay with them long after their playing days are over.
As she begins another season with ECVC, Coach India is excited to work with the area's youngest athletes and watch their growth, progress, and confidence develop throughout the season.

🏐 ATTACKING SKILLS LAB RECAP

Our first Attacking Skills Lab is officially in the books!

The energy was incredible, the athletes were engaged, and most importantly—they grew.

Throughout the session, we broke attacking down step-by-step, helping athletes better understand how timing, movement, body position, and contact all work together to create a more effective attack.

Every athlete had opportunities to ask questions, make adjustments, and immediately apply what they were learning.

One of my favorite things about Skills Labs is the opportunity to slow down and focus deeply on a single skill. It allows athletes to build understanding, confidence, and consistency that they can carry into practices, clinics, camps, matches, and every other part of their volleyball journey.

Thank you to the athletes and families who trusted me with their development this weekend. Watching athletes connect the dots and gain confidence in their game is why I love coaching.

🏐 Next up: Setting Skills Lab!

I'm excited to spend today helping another group of athletes continue building the skills that make volleyball such a fun and challenging game.

India Hodges

Check out Coach India Hodges Skill Lab Opportunities!!

Note: These Skills Labs are NOT open gyms.
Every Skills Lab is intentional, progressive, and designed to build real understanding of each skill from the ground up.

I break skills down step-by-step so athletes learn:
- how movements happen,
-why they happen
- and how to repeat them correctly until they become muscle memory.

This is high-focus, high-detail training built for athletes who truly want to improve their game. The goal isn't just working hard - it's training correctly with purpose.

Private lessons and upcoming Skills Labs are now available on the Do PLAY Panama City, FL website. Check it out for openings, schedules, and registration information.

When: Attacking (June 12) - Setting (June 13) - Passing (TBD) - Blocking (TBD)
