My name is Alissa and I am starting my senior year this fall at McHenry West High School. I have been playing volleyball since 3rd grade including 4 club seasons through Sky High volleyball competing in several national qualifiers and championships across the United States. I am currently an outside hitter, but have experience playing all positions on the court. I love coaching and teaching the fundamentals I have learned over the course of 10 years of playing. I plan on attending a four year university through the Air Force ROTC program and serving after school.

My name is Bob Kaliebe. I've been coaching volleyball for over seventeen years, since 2006. I coach both beach volleyball and indoor volleyball. I coach children and adults. I have an excellent track record coaching and preparing my volleyball students so they successfully make their middle school and high school teams and go on to play on their varsity teams. Past students have sought me out to follow me to new locations I was coaching at so they could continue training with me to then go on to make their school teams. I also have extensive experience training former college indoor volleyball players in their transition to beach volleyball. I have played in numerous EVP Beach volleyball tournaments traveling around the country to places like Naples, Florida and Gulf Shores, Alabama. I also enjoy putting together and being the captain of co-ed indoor volleyball teams comprised of former Big Ten University volleyball players where we play at the highest level and win championships. I'm a graduate of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Marist High School in Chicago, Illinois.

Coach ZE aka Ehize played volleyball at Evanston Township Highschool and Sports Performance Volleyball club in her teens. She went on to graduate from the University of New Orleans. After receiving her bachelor's in philosophy, she decided to pursue volleyball professionally. Throughout her professional career she played in Germany, Austria, Greece, and still counting!
