She has passed on her passion for volleyball to her girls Peyton and Kaylee.

 

Coach Broward has been playing volleyball for over 30 years and coached for over 15. Her love of volleyball, concern for a positive learning environment and affordable training were the driving forces behind starting Baymeadows Volleyball Academy alongside Coach Matt.
