Press Release: Northwest Volleyball has hired KIM WERKAU as our Adult Program Coordinator, and Assistant Club Director.  Kim is currently the head volleyball coach at Bellevue Community College and her relationship with Northwest Juniors dates back to her Freshman year at Sumner High School, when she started her club career with Northwest Juniors VBC.  Since then, Kim has gone on to star at Central Washington University, and earn a degree in Marketing.  Kim returned a few years ago to coach the Northwest Juniors 17 Thunder team (2005 and 2006 seasons).  Previous to her coaching position at Bellevue CC, she served as a Head coach at Kent-Meridian High School.  In addition to her duties at Northwest Volleyball, Kim will coach the 18 Storm team for the 2007 season.  We are confident that Kim is the right hire for this position and are excited about what she can bring to NW Volleyball and NW Juniors as we continue to grow as an organization serving the volleyball population of the Northwest.
