Head Coach: Steve Lacy

I was born and raised in Glendale, AZ. I recently got married in April, graduated from ASU in May 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in Secondary Education with a specialization in history, and moved to Colorado Springs in July.

I've been coaching for the past 5 years. I coaching at a local middle school and moved up to coaching at two different high schools - coaching both boys and girls volleyball.

In that time, I've coached some less than skilled teams, as well as some teams who have had tremendous success. In the past three years, I've coached or assisted on boys' and girls' varsity teams who have gone to the State tournament two of the past three years, including one undefeated season, two Regional Championships and a State Runner-Up finish.

Whether they have been “good” or “bad” - the most important aspect is that my teams always have FUN and IMPROVE, not only on the court, but as human beings.

I've had success coaching both boys and girls volleyball in high school and I am excited to bring my experience and enthusiasm for coaching to the Pikes Peak 17 Elite team this season.

Assistant Coach: Brittney Hanley

I come from Vancouver, Washington and am currently a sophomore playing volleyball at Colorado State University – Pueblo as a setter/right side. While I loved living in Washington, I wanted to go to school in a place unfamiliar to me, and CSU – Pueblo offered a great chance for that.
I have been playing volleyball for 8 years and in high school I was a three-year varsity athlete. I have a passion for volleyball that I was not able to obtain in any other sport.
I look forward to coaching a team for the first time and learning all I can. I want to be a part of the volleyball community when I am done playing in college, so I see coaching for PPVC as the perfect way to get started.

Assistant Coach: Mariah See

My name's Mariah See and I was born and raised in Manitou Springs. I started playing volleyball at local camps and in YMCA leagues at the age of 5, and it's been a passion of mine ever since. I lettered and played varsity all four years at Manitou Springs High School and played club for Pikes Peak my 15s year and Altitude for 17s. I was very lightly recruited by various college programs, including Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, CA, where I eventually went to school. One of the most difficult decisions I ever made was to prioritize my desire to excell in nursing school over playing volleyball and not join the team. Instead, I learned my way around the beach and grass volleyball culture of Southern California and filled my weekends with tournaments and pick up games (when I wasn't studying of course). I have always wanted to coach and am stoked for this opportunity!!

Head Coach: Erica Sparks

Assistant Coach: Walt Sparks

Team: 13 National

I grew up in Virginia Beach where volleyball was pretty much a lifestyle. Twelve years of playing and coaching later, I still get the same feeling walking onto the court.

I walked on to a high school team that worked hard and produced results. During my years, our team always a contender in the Virginia State Tournament and we walked away with one 5A State Championship! I also played club volleyball, which was a journey of a lifetime as I enjoyed playing in many National Qualifiers up and down the east coast.

I attended Ball State University in Muncie, IN, where I had the opportunity to coach a club team ith Central Indiana Volleyball Club with my father as my Assistant Coach. This was truly an amazing experience! I enjoyed sharing my love of the game and my knowledge with a group of young girls and watch them improve individually and as a team over the course of the season.

I am very excited to work with my father, Walter, again as my assistant coach on this year's PPVC 13 National Team.
