MEET THE DIRECTOR: Theison Anderson
My passion for sports began when I was very young. I was fortunate to have coaches who invested in me, teaching me the fundamentals and fostering a love for the game. Becoming a coach myself has felt like a natural progression from those early experiences. This journey began at the University of Nebraska at Kearney (UNK), where I spent four years, including two as a graduate assistant coach. A highlight of my time there was being part of the team that achieved a National Runner-Up finish in 2019, a testament to our collective hard work and dedication.
Following my tenure at UNK, I took on the role of head men's volleyball coach at Morningside College, where I also served as an assistant consultant for the women's program. This experience broadened my coaching perspective and allowed me to work with a diverse group of athletes.
In addition to college coaching, I served as the head coach at Kearney High School for three years, creating a positive and competitive environment for young players. My involvement in club volleyball spans over five years, where I have had the pleasure of coaching athletes in a more competitive setting.
Currently, I am the club director for Kearney Volleyball Club, where I continue to mentor and inspire young athletes. My experiences across high school, collegiate, and club levels have strengthened my commitment to the sport and to the development of players both on and off the court.
Throughout my career, I've been driven by a desire to instill a love for volleyball in my athletes, helping them reach their full potential and pursue their athletic dreams. It's been a rewarding journey, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact in the volleyball community.
About the Kearney Volleyball Club:
We welcome players from area schools to tryout for positions on our teams. We will do our best to put the most competitive group of players on each team. We have 8-10 players on a team and hope to have two teams at each level. Our coaches are an excellent combination of Kearney High Volleyball staff, former high school coaches, and UNK players, many of whom have coached for other clubs as well. In addition to playing club in the off-season, we also encourage athletes to be members of their high school winter and spring sports teams and we will do our best to work around players' school schedules when selecting the tournaments and practice times.
We expect support from our parents and with this comes an understanding that our practices are closed to all fans and parents. Only our coaching staff and players are allowed at practices. We ask that parents release their kids to our coaches and our club program. The tournaments are coming, and that’s when parents and fans can see our athletes. If parents come from out of town and don’t have some shopping to do, they can come in and sit in our commons/cafeteria area.
