The game of volleyball, much like life, is a rollercoaster. We strive to stay atop the peaks as long as possible. We seek to weather the lows as quickly and gracefully as possible. Teams that excel on these fronts find success through excellence. Always strive for excellence and “KEEP SWINGING!”
Coach Fly's professional experience dates back to 2015 when he began club coaching 13U thru 16U teams. From 2016, he started coaching the New Hope-Solebury MS team for 6 years with three Middle School tournament championships, two conference championships and back-to-back undefeated seasons (2021 and 2022) (31-0).
Concurrently from 2019, he coached the New Hope-Solebury HS varsity team for 4 years as an assistant coach where they finished as District Champions three out of four years, once as Regional Tournament Semi-finalists and twice State Tournament quarterfinalists.
In 2023 he became Pennridge High School's Varsity Head Coach, and led the LadyRams to Divisional Champions (15-5, 11-1) and a strong showing in the district championship tournament. He continues with Pennridge building a stronger, more capable team.
Certifications and Coursework: SafeSport Certified, IMPACT Certified, Concussion Training Certified, NFHS Certifications, PIAA Fundamentals of Coaching coursework and PIAA First Aid coursework
Coach Bella is entering her fifth year of coaching and is excited to help lead our 17 National Team this season alongside Coach Fly. A 2020 graduate of New Hope-Solebury High School, Bella earned her degree in Risk Management from Temple University. During her high school career, she was a 4-year varsity starter and the team’s starting libero for three seasons. In her senior year, she reached 1,000 career digs, earned First Team All-League honors, and was named Defensive Player of the Year. She helped lead her team to four consecutive district championships and three state quarterfinal appearances.
Bella played five years of club volleyball with CJVA and East Coast Power, training exclusively as a libero and serving as team captain for multiple seasons. She holds IMPACT and SafeSport certifications and is a member of both AAU and USAV.
With five years of coaching experience, including at the varsity and national club level, Bella is passionate about player development and excited to help athletes grow both on and off the court this season.
Coach Austin graduated from New Hope-Solebury High School in 2019 and then from Penn College of Technology in 2021.
Austin first started playing volleyball with the Doylestown Athletic Association back in 2013. He played two years with them before getting recruited by the Panther Boys’ Volleyball Club. Culminating the 2014 season, as their libero, the Panthers won the 14U Boys December Classic East Power Volleyball tournament.
Austin continued playing with the Panthers for the next two years before the organization closed its doors--at which time, he continued with Infinity Volleyball Club through 2019.

An outside hitter hits and blocks from the left side of the court. Normally, they also carry the responsibilities of passing and playing defense when they get to the back row. The outside typically gets the most sets, especially when the setter is out of system, due to the fact that the outside set is one of the easier options to set. An outside’s responsibilities include hitting from the front and back row, passing in serve receive, playing left or middle-back defense, and blocking.
Opposite hitters earned that title because they are opposite to the strong (left) side hitter, meaning they hit behind the setter. In a 6-1, just like an outside hitter, an opposite has the option to play all the way around, passing, playing defense, and hitting out of the back row. An opposite’s responsibilities include swinging from the front and back row, playing right-back defense, and blocking the other team’s outside hitter.
Middle blockers are the team’s best blockers, and they hit mostly fast-tempo sets from the middle of the court and behind the setter. Typically the libero goes in for the middle when he or she rotates to the back row. Middle sets are some of the most difficult to set and require good passes, therefore middles often get the fewest sets but have the best hitting percentages.
A setter’s primary responsibility is to take the second ball and set it up for one of the hitters to attack. Often referred to as the quarterback, the setter is the decision maker of the team and is in charge of leading the offense. In a 6-1, the setter plays all the way around, meaning that he or she has defensive responsibilities, as well as blocking duties when in the front row. A setter’s responsibilities include setting the ball on the second contact to the hitters on the court, directing the offense, playing right-back defense, and blocking the other team’s outside hitter.
Liberos wear a jersey of a different color and play in the back row five out the six rotations, usually subbing in for both middle blockers. When the libero comes in for another player, it does not count as a substitution. Liberos are defensive and serve-receive specialists who are typically fast and are able to change direction quickly. Liberos are not permitted to attack the ball from above the height of the net, and they can only overhand set a front-row attacker from behind the 10-foot line.
Much like a libero, a defensive specialist plays in the back row and is responsible for playing defense and receiving serve. Unlike the libero, they do not wear different colored jerseys and are required to abide by the normal substitution rules, meaning they are only in for three out of the six rotations.
A serving specialist is a player who subs in just to serve. These players typically have a very tough or very consistent serve, and they come in for a player who is less strong behind the service line, but otherwise very valuable to have on the court as an offensive or defensive threat.
