Heather Bernet
Board Member Bio
My name is Heather, I am the Club Director and Owner of KODA Volleyball Club. We started small – with just 5 teams (I actually took over when the former club director moved to South Carolina in 2020 (yup the year of COVID) – needless to say I have learned a lot, and we are now a club of 24 teams (YES, I AM CRAZY – lol) – my vision is to improve the level of play in the Central New York region – and grow this amazing sport. I also want to see kids of all levels get the opportunity to learn and grow, and improve for themselves and for their schools. This may come from my own experiences, as I played for a small Class D school, and then for a small Jr College, from college I had the opportunity to be the assistant coach for my college team as the school was a 2+2 College, and I was staying to get my Bachelors degree, I then coached High School (Winter) ball, and then coached at SUNY Morrisville. I started playing club as an adult, and also had the opportunity to play Empire State Games. Flash forward ahead quite a few years when I stumbled upon KODA when my daughter was 13, I was a “parent” her first year, then started coaching for KODA, assisted the first year and then coached a 14’s team and began helping as the Assistant Director, then COVID, and then the role of the Director/Owner (I had no idea what I was about to embark on, and it has been one heck of a ride.)
