Hey there! My name is Riley Pike and this will be my second year coaching JO. My love for volleyball started as an athlete and has since moved to coaching in the past year and a half or so. I knew I wanted to keep volleyball in my life after I played my last game my senior year, and coaching was the best answer for me. I started with 14u last winter, 8th grade this fall, and this winter I will be taking on 16u and I could not be more excited. I would describe my coaching style as very competitive and driven, but I will also be your biggest cheerleader once everything starts to click.
Outside of volleyball I am currently a full time college student online and will graduate with my AA this spring. I am not sure where I am going next, but I know I want to continue my education next fall and either pursue a law degree or a finance degree. I also work as a waitress part time at the Iron Horse in Nevis, so I stay pretty busy!
I am looking forward to what this season will bring and so excited to work with your daughters!

Hello, I’m Kaylin Lupkes! This will be my first year coaching JO for Park Rapids. I have played volleyball since the 5th grade and I’ve always had a great love for the sport. I started coaching JO for Wadena Deer Creek when I was a junior in high school and soon switched over to being the C team coach for WDC for the past two years. I am beyond excited to be working with the 16u team this year! As a coach I like to focus on respect, effort, having fun, and improving skills both on and off the court!
Currently, I am attending school online to get my AA degree in accounting. I have a few jobs at the moment. I work at Pure Gold Nutrition in Wadena, Blissful A boutique, and after-school daycare at WDC. Outside of work, I like to be with my family, go to the lake, and read. I am so excited to get to know the girls and for this season!
