I’d like to share our experience with Stealth Beach Volleyball Club with any other
parents who are looking to join a Club in the Phoenix area. Our daughter Grace joined
Stealth during her sophomore year of High School, after playing court volleyball
competitively from about the age of 12. She absolutely loves the game and has
remained passionate about playing ever since. While she played court for her High
School, the main focus has been with Beach Volleyball for the past 2 years.

Stealth has provided a wonderful base of coaching, comradery, friendships, and
high-level competition for our daughter. She’s had the opportunity to train at four
different venues during this time, with unique timeslots and coaches to choose from.
Jake, Daniel, Josh, Christian, and Brett have all been
instrumental in her development, and we have always felt extremely confident in their
instruction and guidance. Stealth has provided a safe and motivating environment for
Grace, and she attends as many practices as she can get to. Jake and Daniel even
played with her in an adult 4v4 tournament recently, which was
an incredible experience for us to engage with the local volleyball community.

Around the end of Grace’s sophomore season, she made the decision to try to
play at the next level. After competing in that summer’s Nationals in California, we
joined Stealth’s Recruiting Program in the hopes that we could find a fit for her future.
This is where Stealth Beach Volleyball Club made it all work. Brett was instrumental in
explaining the process and steps it would take to make this happen. He assisted with
the proper connections, communications, and planning. We mapped out possible
college opportunities based on Grace’s aspirations for both education and beach play.
She crafted emails and game-film while reaching out to the schools, which was
wonderful experience for the type of communication she’ll need moving forward. We
visited several schools on her junior year spring break, meeting with many of the
coaches and teams. The one-on-one time she and I worked on this together remain my
favorite memory in our volleyball journey.

In October of her Senior year, Grace was invited to an official visit at Wingate
University in North Carolina. During this trip, she was offered a Beach Volleyball
Scholarship at the school. We were all thrilled with the opportunity, and although Grace
received other offers in the end, she made the decision to continue her play at Wingate.
She is so excited to get out there in the Fall, and we could not be more proud of her
accomplishments and the chances which lie ahead.

As parents we all want what is best for our kids. We want them to appreciate the
value of hard work and determination. We want them to succeed. I believe that Stealth
Beach Volleyball Club shares these values, and I will always be an advocate. Thank
you Brett and Team for your continued support in Grace’s life. I am happy to speak to
anyone about our experience at Stealth if needed.

Gratefully,

Spencer Layton
