Expertise
I can answer any type of volleyball question: middle school, high school, college, club, coaching, playing, etc. (I am not, however, a athletic trainer! If you have a knee, ankle, back, etc. question, I'm sorry, but please search for another expert.)
Please ask a question only if you check your email like every day! It's been really surprising to me that many answers are never read. Can you believe that between Sept 1, 2011 and Jan 1, 2012, nineteen of my responses have never been read? This is so odd to me.
I will almost always answer your question within 24 hours.
You may also email me anytime at coachhouser@yahoo.com! I'd enjoy hearing from you!
TEENAGERS: Please check your email tomorrow. I will probably have answered your question by then. :)
Then, one last favor: please grade my answer!
Experience
25 years coaching varsity, JV, club.
You can see all about me at www.coachhouser.com There are also free downloads for coaches & parents, and lots of smiling faces for you volleyball players!

BS degree from Va Tech in Math Education. MS degree from Va Tech in Secondary Administration. In the fall, I'll be starting my 31st year teaching high school math!
