Khaynen Yocca '15 Recruiting Profile

My family moved to Hermosa Beach when I started Jr. High School.  While sitting on the beach, a man approached me and asked if I had played Volleyball...and the rest is history!  I began playing varsity on my high school team as a freshman. I was the starting Middle my entire sophomore year and was awarded First Team All Section.  At 6'6,  I am very easy going, never lose my cool and am a team player.  I strive to kill every ball that comes to me and I am a fearless blocker. I am also well rounded in that I can set, pass and serve.   I play for Pittsburgh Volleyball Clubs 1st 17s team (Black).   I love volleyball and want to continuing for strong collegiate team. I have excelled in many sports including soccer, basketball, baseball, swimming and hockey and my coaches have all told me I have a great attitude and am easy to coach.  I take advice well and I always look to learn new things to improve my game.  I manage the girls high school team as well as learning to be a student coach for a girls club team.    I am also a great student, currently earning a 3.6 GPA. Education is key to my success in my future so it is my goal to find an outstanding academic school with an equally outstanding volleyball program.  During the off season I mentor small children in a huge church camp and serve on the Robotics team.  I pride myself on the choices I have made so far in my life. I am respectful and kind and offer my team and classmates some comic relief.
