I wanted to give you an
update. Bre tried out for the HVMS team this week. She found out today that
she made the team. I wanted to thank you and your staff for helping Bre
develop some very good skills with the VIP sessions & Roanoke Catholic Camp.
Six week ago she could not serve the ball over the net or pass very well but
her skills have grown with you and your staff's help.
Kevin
Lockhart, father of Bre, c/o '16 at Hidden Valley

"Thanks so much for a great player training session! Both Macie
and [her partner] really enjoyed meeting you and working with you. It was so
incredibly hot in the gym, but you kept them focused and motivated!
Hopefully, we will have a chance to work with you again soon. Thanks again!
Marie
Hobach, mother of Macie, William Byrd, c/o '12.

"Sam really is great! She
is so encouraging. I wish I had a video of the girls the first time they met
with her and again tonight. Sarah was doing great serving and then Sam
started showing her to serve it short to throw the other team off. I love
it! Thanks for all you do.
Maria
Smith, mother of Sarah, Cave Spring c/o '13

"Dani had a fantastic time
with Sam this past weekend. Even though she worked her butt off, she was
smiling the entire time and left with a confidence I had not seen in a
while.

Northside High

"Tom, just in case you wanted
some feedback on Sam Thomas, here it is:
Julia had her best session yet tonight with Sam. She felt Sam did a better
job of explaining things than anyone else she has had. I think it really
helps that Sam was closer in age to Julia.
Sam did a GREAT job, and I just wanted you to know it.
David Lowen, father of Julia Lowen, Cave Spring, c/o '13
July 28th, 2007
"Thank you for talking Aaron into working with the girls in July, he is an
excellent instructor and Christine really enjoyed her lessons with him. He
worked her out pretty good, she was dragging when she left tonight but I
believe she gained some valuable skills."
Tommy
Surface, father of Christine, Craig County High, c/o '10. Christine became the VHSL career ace record holder.
July 2, 2007
"Wow, I wish I could duplicate Aaron. He is a terrific instructor, and quite
patient. Unfortunately, I know coaches like him don't grow on trees, but
having met him and seen him work with Aidan at least helps crystallize the
search for a coach who will be a good fit."
Frank Guilfoyle, father of Roanoke Catholic, Aidan c/o '11 and Mairan c/o '13
July 19, 2007
"Thanks so much for all of the lessons for Kelsey over the past year.
I just wanted to let you know that she went to the JV open gyms and instead
of playing middle school this year Aaron King wants her to tryout for JV.
This is a player who didn't make the middle school team in 7th but took
lessons with you all year and then may play JV. You are the best!"
Susan Sine, mother of Kelsey, Cave Spring c/o '09 and Frannie,
Hidden Valley c/o '20.

"You are so good with the girls - funny when there's time for it, firm
when they need it. Thank you for all the hard work and working with Cailin
for so long!! When she made the CSMS team, her coach told me she was an
amazingly good setter for a 7th grader. I, of course, told her it was
because she had been working with you! She absolutely loves training with
you and looks forward to it all day long when we have a practice scheduled.
She loves goofing around with you but also takes everything you tell her
seriously. I know she would not be at the level she's at if we hadn't met
you a year ago. Thank you so much!
Susan Smedley, mother of Cailin, Cave Spring c/o '13.
Training Camp at Floyd Co High School was awesome!
April 2, April 9-10, April 12, April 19 2007, then again March 24 and 27,
2008!!! It was GREAT! I can't wait to go back!
"If a person is willing to change, she will see results.
But if a person only wants to see results, then she won't be willing to
change."

Thank you SO MUCH for everything!!!!! Aside from your obvious
wonderful teaching and coaching, your positive encouragement and enthusiasm
means the most to Macie (and me)!

Chesley had a great session with Lauren on Sunday... Lauren did a great job with
her!

July 14, 2008.
Amanda and Jessie really enjoyed their time with Lauren yesterday.
They said they liked it a great deal more and learned a lot more than at
some of the camps they have been to. It was well worth the trip and money.
We wish that we could have taken advantage of these types of sessions at lot
earlier in Amanda's vball career. Thanks for everything.
Debra Alderson, mother of Amanda, c/o '09 at Westover Christian in Danville.
June 8, 2008
I
wanted to thank you for the lesson tonight. Cailin, once again, had a
fabulous time. It is so rewarding to see how much she has improved since she
started working with you. She came away feeling so good about herself
tonight. Even though nothing she did was perfect, she felt like she'd really
done a good job and that is totally a reflection of your attitude with her.
We are so fortunate to have you to train and encourage our girls! I just
can't express my appreciation to you enough!!
Susan Smedley, mother of Cailin, Cave Spring High, c/o '13.

"It is such a pleasure
watching the girls enjoy and learn so much in their sessions. Julia
truly enjoys the game and she enjoyed her sessions with you so much. She and
[her partner] both talked about how much they learned in that hour. Thanks
again for all you do."
David Lowen, father of Cave Spring High, Julia c/o '13 and Sarah c/o '14.

Madi's success is a credit to both you and Sam. She has had such a
good time and made tremendous progress. If you have a way of getting in
touch with Sam, please let her know that the girls made the team and we
truly appreciate all Sam did. She is great! We definitely look
forward to working with you more in the future as we travel down this road.
I have a feeling that we are only at the beginning.
Laura Billings,
mother of Madi, a member of the Cave Spring Middle team
August 1, 2008. Please let Lauren know
that her tips really worked for Jackie. She has worked really hard all week
and is now not only serving correctly but they are actually going deep. We
really appreciate all of her help.
Rhonda Boehling, mother of Jackie, a 9th grader at
Salem High School.
July 20, 2008. Chesley has
improved so much and I was really worried about her with the time off for
her surgery, etc. But thanks to YOU she has progressed so far and learned so
much! You are so patient, kind and a tremendous teacher…I’m just so glad
that we were able to get her in to work with you! Thank you for everything!
Beth Fobare, mother of Chesley, Northside High volleball player.
July 7, 2008. "My girls were so motivated when
they left player training! They improved tremendously in two hours because
of the attention and concentration given to their weaknesses. Coach
Houser knows the game but also realizes the critical importance of being
attentive to the player, recognizing her strengths and weaknesses, then he
explains what can be done to make the player better. Explanations were
given as to why you do certain things. We drove the distance and paid the
extra money because he is worth it. As far as coaching goes, we have not met
anyone that "coaches" as well as COACH HOUSER. They are fortunate to have
him as a coach because they are getting the best, we are fortunate that he's
close by and doing what he loves. Thanks Coach Houser for enjoying your job,
keep it up, it's contagious!" --Bedford Mom
September 10,

Thanks so much for all
you do. I don’t think you realize what a positive impact you have on the
girls.

I wanted to let you know
how much Erin enjoyed her session with Devyn on Sunday! We feel that it was
a great practice and Devyn was very good with her, in assessing where she
was and helping her improve on the many points they worked on. Erin
definitely wants to work with Devyn, again, and I will let you know what
works for us!
Sabrina
Lee, mother of a Central Academy Middle School player

Stacey has improved so much since starting with you guys! She had the
talent for it, but I'm so excited to see her do better and better and I know
she is excited! Stacey said she got a good workout and Lauren taught
her some things that she hadn't been shown before, which is great!
Christi Zysk, mother of a Craig County Middle School girl.

Brianas serve is

Emily had a great lesson
last Sunday - fun & educational. She really felt like she got a lot out of
it. We will definitely request Sam again."
