 UPDATE 11/22/10- I am so excited to announce that Coach Shannon Thompson has agreed to be my assistant coach this season. Not only are the players going to be blessed but I as a coach as well.  Please read her biography below.

  Coach Shannon Thompson

Shannon Thompson has been a volleyball coach for the past six years in Botetourt County.  She spent four years at James River High School, two of those years as the head coach.  Her 2007 team won the Pioneer District Regular Season and she was named the Pioneer District Coach of the Year.  She has spent the past two years as the head coach at Central Academy Middle School in Fincastle, Virginia where she hopes to pass along a love for the game to girls who are just beginning to play. 

 “Somewhere behind the athlete you've become, the hours of practice, the coaches who pushed you, the teammates who believe in you, and the fans who cheer for you is the little girl who took that first perfect shot.  The little girl who fell in love with the game and never looked back, play for her.”   ~Mia Hamm

“I believe, in Club, the importance is all around practice and what we learn during that .. Tournaments are a way to measure how we are doing against others. “ Coach Adams
