Program: UW Volleyball, Coach Kaylee Prigge
Introduction: Anna Cramer
Coach Kaylee Prigge spoke to the club about UW volleyball. Her grandparents were involved with coaching, and her dad was a coach as well. Prigge’s dad was a coach in the NFL.
She played volleyball at University of Tampa. Prigge worked in marketing and did club coaching before deciding to take a coaching job.
Prigge has been coaching at UW for three years. Her main goal is to be consistent. The team is 4:0 in conference play right now. There are four Wyoming kids on the roster.
UW volleyball can recruit only from club volleyball in the state, not from high school. There is usually then a big learning curve for Wyoming players.
The team looks for people who want to be here, a good attitude and willingness to learn, able to share experiences, and have played more than one sport, as this can help with burnout.
The four Wyoming students on the team are Evelyn Udezue, Abi Milby, Maddy Stucky, and Addy Thorington.
Response: Anna Cramer
‘Response: The Rotary Club of Laramie will make a donation to the public library children’s book fund in the speaker’s name.
