COACHING ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

WE WANT TO WELCOME THE LADY HILLTOPPERS NEW NINTH GRADE COACH,  

MS. ASHLEY SEIFERT !

Coach Ashley Seifert is starting her 1st year as a Health and Physical Education Teacher at Lawton C. Johnson Summit Middle School in 2021-22. Coach Seifert is Rowan University graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education.

Coach Seifert graduated Jonathan Dayton High School in Springfield NJ where she played volleyball during her entire high school career as an Opposite and also had a year experience in the CRUSH volleyball league. At Rowan University, Coach Seifert continued playing volleyball at the Intramural Level.

Coach Seifert begins her coaching journey with the Lady Hilltoppers after volunteering last season with Coach Gutierrez and the 9th Grade Team and also volunteered with the Boys Junior Varsity Volleyball Team in the Spring (Season 4) under Head Coach John Ross.

Coach Seifert's coaching philosophy is as follows:

My overall goal, as a volleyball coach, is to develop players that can individually strive as well as work together as team mates. Throughout the season, players will have the opportunity for growth on and off of the court. It is essential for athletes to gain all the confidence to set goals and believe that they can reach them to their fullest potential. I believe that setting a positive environment is what gives players the motivation to practice hard and to play their best. Passion is what drives a team to success. Ultimately, I am looking forward to giving my players the tools they need, which will lead them to achieve success and most importantly, have fun.
