"I could not be more grateful for the opportunity to coach at Union", Kelley said. "I am extremely passionate about the game of volleyball and know first-hand the impact it can have in life. My aim as assistant coach will be to help our players not only accomplish their goals on the volleyball court, but also in the classroom and in life. I am also extremely honored that Darrin has asked me to come be a part the Union volleyball team. I played for Darrin for four years at UTM, therefore I have a good understanding of his coaching style and what he will expect out of our athletes. His commitment to his student-athletes both on and off the court creates a culture that athletes, coaches and fans want to be a part of and I am really looking forward to being back in the gym with him and this."
