Introducing the SLO JRS Volleyball Club Coaching Staff

Brooke (Ecklund)Brubaker
Brooke brings a balance to the SLO JRS staff after spending five consecutive years meditating without food or water on the nature of world peace. Her aura oozes calmness to her teams, especially when they are winning. As Brooke says, "If we lose, all bets are off!" Brooke vacations in the south of SLO in the winter, and prefers to migrate towards the north during the warmer summer months. |

Ashley Jones
Although Ashley isn't coaching with us this year, Ashley remains a dear member of our staff managing our cash. Good thing too because Ashley is a world renown monopoly player, having last defeated Ivan Guacomoliavich in the world cup last December in istanbul (not constantinople). Your chances of hanging on to 'Park Place'? Next to nothing. |

Phil Knight
Phil is one of the only coaches in SLO JRS to list his experience in ascending manner. Way to go coach. Phil began his coaching career in the 1930s in the rural midwest. Walking 7 miles to the gym up hill, both ways and in the snow, Phil was blessed to coach on a black top court, covered in snow and drenched in sun, with no air conditioning. Today, Phil enjoys whittling micro-Michangelos out of styrofoam while his player pound it out on the court. Phil's favorite drill includes "the pit", which was banned in the mid 90s, thanks Marrit. |
