COACHES

Benjamin Ta

Denise Wooding

As an active member of the volleyball community, my passion lies the process of helping individuals improve technical, physica, and mental skills while bettering themselves as

Playing volleyball at the varsity and international level has profoundly influenced my health, 

character, confidence, and friendships. Most importantly, after 12

players and as people. I have coached a variety of indoor and beach volleyball environments for large camps and private clinics.  I'm  excited for another great year of coaching Hawks!

I've been extremely fortunate to call my involvement with indoor and beach volleyball both as a player and a coach a job for the past 

10 years. I am excited to continue to work with young athletes and build off of the improvements and successes the Hawks player experienced the past 2 years.  As an athlete who was never head and shoulders above the talent pool, I know the value of getting detailed feedback from coaches who have experienced the top levels of the sport.  I know having great coaches allowed me to reach my playing goals, and I hope that I'm able to help the Hawks players become a step closer to reaching theirs.
