The Kentucky Volleyball Coaches Association will have quite a bit of Northern Kentucky influence on its board for the new school year.
Ryle coach Tasha Tanner-Lovins has accepted the role of KVCA President while Scott coach Andrea Sullivan will be Vice President and Cooper coach Michelle Isaac will be a KVCA Membership Chair.
The board was announced on July 11.
“I am excited to take over as KVCA President and lead the association with new ideas and initiatives,” Lovins said. “Volleyball in Kentucky, both girls and boys, has grown into one of the premier high school sports and I look forward to finding more ways to elevate it for our athletes, coaches, and fans.”
Lovins is entering her 24th season coaching at Ryle where she also teaches math. Sullivan has been with the Scott program since 2003 and propelled the Eagles to new heights last season with a state semifinal appearance. Isaac has led Cooper since its inception of the program in 2008.
Also Joining Lovins will be North Oldham’s Brian Jones as the Events Chair and Lafayette’s Matt Stegman as the Boys Volleyball Chair.
Bradley Wilson will continue to act as KVCA Treasurer and Secretary.
The KVCA is organized to promote volleyball throughout the state. They promote and develop the sport in the state, handle polls, awards and bookkeeping. Last season was the first season the KHSAA sanctioned boys volleyball as it began its inaugural sanctioned season in the spring.
