Alum Spotlight

Taylor Hansen

2025 VAVA Alum

What years were you part of the club?

    I was apart of VAVA from 2021-2025

What originally drew you to join the club?
    VAVA immediately provided me with a fun and comforting environment that I hadn’t experienced before. I knew that it was the place for me and that my coaches would always be there to support and help me in any way that they could. 

What did being part of this club mean to you?
    Being apart of this club ment everything to me. I met lifelong friends, established lasting relationships with coaches, and made so many amazing memories. VAVA allowed and helped me to grow into not just the player, but the person that I am today, and that would not have been possible if I had not been surrounded by the most amazing coaches and teammates. This club made me to fall in love with volleyball again and I could not be happier to be apart of the VAVA family. 

What is your favorite memory from your time at VAVA?

    My favorite memories from my time at VAVA were Sunshine Classic my 17s season and hanging out with my team and coaches at the hotels after tournaments! 

What have you been up to since graduating?
    Since graduating in 2025, I recently finished my freshman year at the University of Georgia, where I am getting a degree in marketing with a sports management minor. During my freshmen year I got involved with greek life and joined UGA Miracle, which is an organization that raises money for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

How has volleyball stayed a part of your life?

    I have kept in contact with many of my teammates and coaches and come play at practices when I am home for break! It has been so fun to get back on the court with the people that I love!

What are your plans for the future? 
    After finishing college, I hope to work for an NFL team in their marketing department!
