Head Coach - amber rose

​Coach Amber has over 20 years of coaching experience, second only to 27 years of playing volleyball. To date, she has coached 56 teams of all skill levels from young beginners to seasoned players. A native Texan originally from Dallas, she found her way to Rockwall in 2016. Amber graduated from Hillcrest High School in Dallas where she was a multisport athlete. Recruited to play collegiate volleyball out of state, all the way to Iowa (she understands the value of good bacon and corn!). Initially, she took the role as a setter but eventually transitioned to the main defensive specialist role of middle back- now known as the libero. She also played for one season at Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia. After undergrad, Amber went on to complete two masters degrees at both SMU and UNT concurrently.
Amber's love of volleyball is apparent in her enthusiasm on the court. However, her love of the game is a close second to her passion for pouring into & developing young athletes, empowering girls both on and off the court. She believes in positive affirmation coupled with accountability & strong character development. This belief is echoed throughout all facets of her coaching.
