Start young, have strong role models, and the future is bright.

Layer upon layer.
That’s how you build truly-successful sports programs, bringing in athletes when they’re young, then having current stars work with them.
Coupeville High School volleyball guru Cory Whitmore embraces the idea, which is why the K-6 skills camp he, assistant coach Chris Smith, and their players ran the past couple of days is so important.
You can see it in the photos above, as high school and middle school players embrace the chance to be role models and coaches in their own right, and elementary school athletes discover someone to emulate.
A few years down the road, the lil’ kids will be the teachers, and the current spikers will be the ones visiting and seeing how their efforts paid off.
It’s how you build success, one layer upon another layer.
