Rebecca Schoonover, Creative Recruiter

I began playing volleyball in fifth grade and then on a travel/club team from 8th to 12th grade. And besides being fun and something I loved to do, it taught me lessons on what it’s like to be an invaluable member of a team.

The rules have changed slightly since I was a kid. But back then, there was a limit to how many player substitutions you were allowed per set. So, my coach encouraged us to be versatile in the positions we could play to make these substitutions easier and more valuable to the team.
