Melissa Dodds has been involved in the volleyball community her entire life. She played for a very competitive JO team for many years and as a freshman at Stow High School, she started varsity as a middle hitter who never came out of the game. She played all the way around - both front and back row. Melissa was a 3-sport athlete, was a leader on a state-qualifying team, and was selected 1st team all-state for several years. In addition, she was given numerous honorary awards along the way. Although Melissa chose not to participate in college athletics (despite being offered many full-ride scholarships), she is still active to this day. 

Melissa feels fortunate to have played for some amazing coaches at every level of the game and has stayed in contact with many of them, frequently seeking their knowledge and expertise to constantly hone her own coaching skills. Prior to having her three daughters, Melissa coached at the middle school level, where she has also taught for the past 15 years. Now that her girls are actively playing the same sports that she once enjoyed, Melissa has found that she is needed on the court instead of in the stands. It is Melissa’s goal to return players back to their community teams with improved skills, more knowledge, and better than they were in the previous season. She is looking forward to having fun, building relationships both on and off the court, and becoming a great team!
