“I have watched my child grow to love volleyball more and more each season.” Coach Paige has been wonderful with the girls. She has done a great job at not only working with these girls but teaching them healthy volleyball technique and teamwork. It does not matter if someone has been playing for a while or if it is their first clinic she has a way of catering to their level and needs. We have been attending since Coach Paige started offering clinics and I have watched my child grow to love volleyball more and more each season and Coach Paige is a large part of that process. We appreciate all that you are putting into this and truly showing our girls what teamwork and hard work and dedication can do!

“My daughter has gained so much confidence and knowledge… on and off the court.” With patience, grace and determination, I’ve seen Paige teach and train our girls to be the better version of themselves. She helps them shine. Paige has such abilities to be the best at what she does. My daughter has gained so much confidence and knowledge of the fundamentals, which will help her on and off the court. Can’t thank her enough, but I will. THANKS COACH!!!

“Paige is a great mentor with an abundance of patience and the ability to motivate.” Paige is a great mentor with an abundance of patience and the ability to motivate. My daughter has grown in ability and knowledge when it comes to volleyball! I am amazed by how much she and the other girls have grown under Paige’s guidance. Can’t wait to see how PATH will elevate them even more!

“Through Paige’s coaching and leadership, I have had the opportunity to see my daughter grow.” My daughter started Paige’s clinics in January of 2019 with just one season of the Rec department under her belt. Through Paige’s coaching and leadership, I have had the opportunity to see my daughter grow by learning the fundamentals of the sport, being taught the best maneuvers for certain playing situations, and the correct technique for handling the ball. We have played several sports where the only focus is winning the game with no lesson on how, not with Paige. She lets the girls know what they need to work on to improve their game individually and as a team so they have a better opportunity to win. She is encouraging and supportive in all aspects of her coaching. I highly recommend if your daughter is interested in learning more about volleyball to come to see Paige!

“Not only has [Paige] improved [my daughters’] volleyball skills, she has also instilled in them a strong work ethic.” Our family adores Paige! Both of our daughters have worked with Paige for more than a year, and she has made such a difference for them! Not only has she improved their volleyball skills, she has also instilled in them a strong work ethic, made them a stronger part of the team, and has been a mentor as well. She is an excellent leader, an excellent instructor/coach, and a great example for my daughters. We are so blessed to be a part of the growth of MC volleyball!!! A special thank you goes out to Paige for all she has done for both of our girls! ☺️❤️

“We were looking for someone who could share their skills with our team and bring a fun atmosphere to camp for our girls.” Volleyball was a brand new sport for Banks County this season. As coaches, we were looking for someone who could share their skills with our team and bring a fun atmosphere to camp for our girls. Paige brought her knowledge of the game along with fun games to make for a very successful camp. The girls couldn’t wait to come back the next day. She even took the time at the end of camp to teach us how to properly record the score during the game. If you are looking for someone with high energy, knowledge of the game, and a fun environment, we would highly recommend Paige Watson with PATH Volleyball for all your volleyball needs.

“The amount of time Paige has spent helping our players get touches on the ball shows her passion and dedication to the sport.”Paige has played a major part of helping grow our volleyball program the last year and a half. She started helping us by running our volleyball camp in the summer of 2018. From there we realized that there was so much potential within our players that we wanted to push their skills to the next level. Paige started by offering volleyball clinics every Monday for both beginner and advanced skills; this was a huge hit. She also was able to accommodate some private lessons with players as well. The amount of time Paige has spent helping our players get touches on the balls shows her passion and dedication to the sport. The more practice, lessons, touches on the ball, etc. strengthens the player’s skills but also their mentality and ability to read the ball from the opposing team.

Being in a small rural county most of our players are unable to afford the typical club ball program. Paige and I had discussed something even more advanced than the Monday night clinics to give our girls more opportunities where finances were an issue. I’m extremely excited that Paige was able to plan, coordinate, and start PATH Volleyball Academy. The players within our county are now getting to grow as teams with their friends and players who they’d actually be playing school ball with. It’s a great opportunity with not much of a financial impact to the wallet.

I am looking forward to seeing PATH grow and develop not only our Madison County participants but participants in surrounding counties as well.

“Paige has a way of encouraging positive skills while redirecting those things that need work.” Paige has a way of encouraging positive skills while redirecting those things that need work. She is so patient and gentle yet firm in her technique of teaching the fundamentals of the game. Her passion not only for Volleyball but for the players and all aspects of their lives shines through every interaction. She is not only a wonderful Volleyball coach but a wonderful person. I look forward to having my daughter learn more under her leadership through PATH.

“[My daughter’s] volleyball skills have grown exponentially over the past year and a half while participating in the clinics and team play.” Words cannot begin to express how much Paige and the other PATH coaches have done for my daughter! Her volleyball skills have grown exponentially over the past year and a half while participating in the clinics and team play. Paige’s desire to not only improve their skills, but also to help them grow in character and work ethic is always evident. We are so thankful to have crossed PATHs with Paige and this program;)

“Paige has a way of connecting with the girls that is like no other.” Paige has worked with my daughter in some capacity for Volleyball since Madison County began their program. We met Paige through a volleyball clinic in Athens and attended a few of the 4-week sessions to build skills. We then had Paige do some private lessons and we attended her clinics in Madison County. Paige has a way of connecting with the girls that is like no other. I have not seen her lose her temper once. Even when I was fussing, she remained calm and talked through what she was trying to teach our girls. When she first had the idea of a PATH academy, I jumped at the idea. My daughter has fallen in love with the sport and wants to play all the time, but we just can not commit to ‘club ball’. This gave her the opportunity to play at a very reasonable cost. We love Paige!! Thank you for all of your sacrifice for our girls!!

Paige and all of the coaches worked diligently to ensure the girls were safe and healthy while also developing their volleyball skills. We are thankful that PATH persevered in the midst of Covid and provided our girls the opportunity to play volleyball!

“The coaches are supportive, skilled, and fair.” As a first time club sport family, our experience with PATH Volleyball was amazing. The coaches are supportive, skilled, and fair. My daughter grew as a player and as a person. Also, PATH Volleyball is organized and professional. We were so grateful for this opportunity especially through a pandemic! Thank you PATH Volleyball! We look forward to returning and would recommend PATH to anyone!
