Get To Know Your Coaches

Here's a little more about Coach Maat & Coach Klaasen...

Coach Maat

I am a middle school teacher at Creekside in Zeeland. I played volleyball in high school and at Hope College. I have coached at the JV and 8th grade levels several years ago, and I am looking forward to coaching again at Riley! I have a love for the game and have followed volleyball at Hudsonville for a long time. Some of my goals for the 7th grade team are for the girls to develop skills, learn the game, have great attitudes, and work as a team!

Coach Klaasen

I played volleyball in high school and at Hope College. I coached 3 years of JV at Hamilton, 11 years of Varsity (7 at Hamilton, 4 at Hudsonville), and 4 years of 8th grade at Riley Middle School. I love the sport and am passionate about sharing my love for the game to others. My coaching philosophy is to teach my players how to work hard, have fun, develop volleyball skills, and acquire a love for the game.
