Here is what he has to say about coaching!
Coach Dennie
"I coach because I love making a positive impact on young athletes in the sports that I have a huge passion for! The four ACS pillars (leadership, teamwork, adversity, and sportsmanship) are all equally critical and important for each athlete."
"I have a lot of passion for this organization and being responsible for effectively leading young athletes! I was fortunate to have been on a small committee, of 4, that started ACS in 2010, and have led the Volleyball Program since its inception in 2011. We have come a long way and built a strong foundation for this program to succeed in the future! We learn something new every year, but extremely proud and humbled by our Coaching Staff that shares in the same values, our Athletes who compete hard every day and our families who continually support this program!"
