A message from Coach Kelsey:
Welcome to OHS Volleyball 2026!
Hi team,
Welcome to a new season of Panther Volleyball. This season we get to build on everything that came before and lay the foundation for everything that will come after.
At the center of everything we do are our core values: respect, trust, transparency, effort, growth, and pride. We don’t just talk about these things, we practice them every day in how we show up for ourselves and for each other.
Respect is our baseline. Every person in this program matters, and we show that in how we treat our teammates, coaches, opponents, officials, and ourselves.
Trust is built together. I will trust you to show up, work hard, and support each other. I ask that you trust your coaches to guide you, challenge you, and make decisions that are best for the team.
Transparency can be expected from the coaching staff. If your role shifts or expectations change, we’ll talk about it. We want you to understand where you are and how you can improve. In return, I expect you to communicate with us by asking questions and speaking up. Let us know what’s challenging you and what you need.
We will value effort and growth every single day. Not perfection, but progress. We will get comfortable being uncomfortable, pushing ourselves to be better than we were yesterday.
We take pride in what we represent. When we step into the gym, we represent our team, our school, and each other. And that’s special.
That all said, volleyball is important, but it is not everything. Be a student first. Be a good teammate, a good friend - someone others can rely on. When you take care of your life outside the gym, you can show up better inside it.
This year, our mindset is simple: WHY NOT US?
Why not this team.
Why not this program.
Why not this season.
Why not now.
We’re done waiting for something to happen. We’re going to work for it, earn it, and create it together. Let’s get to work.
WHY NOT US.
Coach Kelsey
