My name is Terri Higgins

I a mom of four and a grandmother of six with two younger daughters and 3 granddaughters that play volleyball for Adrenaline VB Club. I have been  a coach for 13 years and 2 years being an assistant Adrenaline.   I am the Director of Hamilton County Elementary Volleyball which I started about 10 years ago. I enjoy teaching the girls how fun the game of volleyball is and getting them to the next level.  As a parent and grandparent, my family made the decision to go with Adrenaline Volleyball Club several years ago because we are interested in the college exposure and family unit that the club helps provide and support the vision that the club director stands for.
