As a seasoned volleyball coach with a storied career both on the court and on the sidelines, I've recently launched a new line of original volleyball t-shirts that I believe will be a smash hit with college and pro volleyball players.




My designs are more than just funny - they're a playful nod to the specific vocabulary and inside jokes that only experienced players truly understand.

Having played professionally both indoors and on the beach, I've developed a deep understanding of our sport's intricate language.


I've taken familiar terms like "kill," "double," and "cutty," and given them a cheeky, tongue-in-cheek twist that will resonate with players who "get it."


The long sleeve version of my "Kill: How to Put Your Balls Away" volleyball t-shirt, which I created as a part of my Peace Love Volleyball collection for example, plays on the volleyball term "kill," which refers to a powerful spike that the opposing team can't return.The long sleeve version of my "Kill: How to Put Your Balls Away" volleyball t-shirt, which I created as a part of my Peace Love Volleyball collection for example, plays on the volleyball term "kill," which refers to a powerful spike that the opposing team can't return.

My "Kill: How to Put Your Balls Away" shirt, for example, plays on the volleyball term "kill," which refers to a powerful spike that the opposing team can't return.

I've added a humorous double meaning that experienced players will appreciate.



"As a coach, I know college and pro volleyball players have a deep understanding of the sport and all the lingo that goes with it,".

"I wanted to create designs that would really resonate with that insider knowledge and give them a good laugh, whether they're wearing the shirts themselves or giving them as gifts to their teammates and coaches."

A Labor of Love: Crafting Unique Volleyball T-Shirts


My passion for volleyball is evident in every detail of my t-shirt designs.

"I'm not just throwing together random phrases; I'm carefully crafting each design to capture the essence of the game, from the adrenaline rush of a spike to the camaraderie of a team huddle."

"I remember being a young player, learning all the different terms and phrases," I reminisce. "It was like being part of a secret club, and I wanted to create a way for players to celebrate that shared experience."


The Volleyball T-Shirt Gift That Speaks The Language

"I'm very proud of the new designs of my T-shirts and am looking forward to sharing them with my fellow Volleyball lovers around the world!" 


I've designed these t-shirts to be the perfect gift for the volleyball enthusiast in your life.

From college players looking to surprise their teammates to pro athletes shopping for their coaches, I'm confident these shirts will be a hit.




I can just imagine the laughter when a college player opens up a "Double: When You Touch Your Balls Twice" shirt from their girlfriend or sister.

Or the appreciation a coach might feel when receiving a "J STROKE (verb) When You Scoop Your Balls Up To keep Them off The Floor in Defense volleyball shirt" from their players.


This Volleyball T-Shirt Is Not For Everyone:
Beyond Players and Coaches

"I came up with new volleyball-related definitions by combining funny sounding but commonly used and trendy slang words and volleyball jargon with the plural form of the word "ball,"


Even volleyball moms will find something to love in my collection.

Designs like "SHAG (verb) How To Pick Your Balls Up Off The Floor" and "SWIPE (verb) When You Wipe Your Balls On Someone Else's Hands " capture our sport's quirky vocabulary in a lighthearted way that's sure to make any volleyball mom smile.

Of course, these shirts aren't just for players and coaches.

I've created designs with a broad appeal that extends beyond the volleyball community.

"She attributes the line's success to the fact that the designs are both stylish and practical and that the sayings and definitions are both funny and relevant."


"Anyone with a good sense of humor is going to appreciate the wordplay and double meanings I've incorporated," 

"Even if you've never set foot on a volleyball court, these shirts are going to make you laugh."

My journey to creating this unique style of volleyball t-shirt is a testament to my lifelong dedication to the sport.

I'm not just a coach; I'm a former world-class pro volleyball player, having competed both indoors and on the beach in the United States and Europe.

My experience on the court gives me a deep understanding of the game's nuances, which I've skillfully translated into my t-shirt designs.

"I've always been fascinated by the way language can be used to create humor,".

"And I've always loved the sport of volleyball."
