Coach Sheila Stanley

Volleyball Coach of the Year 2008 in the 5280 League

Surprised to be coach of the year after a losing season, Coach Sheila Stanley was thrilled to see people recognize and understand what she does with what she has.

Being the head volleyball coach at Excelsior for the past 12 years hasn't always been easy, but it has been rewarding. She has seen volleyball coaches come and go at other schools and many with her same longevity. Two comments made about Coach and her team this year that led her to becoming Coach of the Year were "this is the best team I have seen you produce" and "there was an incredible improvement and progress from start to finish of this season."

Coach said this year she had 2 great captains who the teammates listened to and respected. They were good role models. "The whole team worked hard and pushed themselves to be better as a whole. Tony Fetter was a great assistant coach who helped so much throughout the season as well" said Coach.

"It is nice that other people are beginning to understand who we are. I was surprised, but I am honored to be named Volleyball Coach of the Year 2008."
