Penny Ripley

Club Director, Owner

Head Coach  12's Team

 

I played volleyball for over 35 years and have over 20 years coaching experience.

I absolutely love the sport and love teaching the fundamentals. As a coach, there’s no greater satisfaction than to see where players are today that you’ve coached in the past.

Lives in Pleasant Hill, MO, married to Warren.  We have six grown children, sixteen grand children.   Two spoiled rotten Schnauzers rule our house.  I also love cooking and gardening.  I've been employed with Lee’s Summit R-7 School District since 2012.  Every player in our club I consider my kid.  I want to be a great role model for them.   I want each player to be the best they can be both on the court and in their personal life.
