Hey, I'm Coach Leslie!
Coach Leslie's purpose in life is to serve the youth bringing an extensive and impressive background in both playing and coaching volleyball. She was a starting Libero at Cal State University East Bay (CSUEB) for two seasons, where she showcased her skills and passion for the game. Leslie's dedication to her studies led her to graduate with a degree in Child Development. Before her time at CSUEB, Leslie honed her skills at Golden West JC and Long Beach Poly HS, where she earned the recognition of being a high school All-American. She also spent six seasons playing club volleyball with the renowned Mizuno Long Beach VBC, further refining her abilities on the court. Leslie's coaching career began immediately after graduating from Cal State East Bay when she became an assistant coach alongside Jim Spagle. This experience allowed her to deepen her understanding of the game and develop her coaching prowess. Currently, Leslie serves as the head coach of the Miramonte HS women's varsity volleyball team in Orinda, CA where she was recently awarded the Coach of the Year award in 2022. Her leadership and expertise continue to positively impact the players under her guidance. As a fierce competitor and a lifelong lover of the game, Leslie instills both skill and passion in her coaching, inspiring her players to reach their full potential. With a remarkable tenure of coaching and a strong foundation as a player, Leslie is an invaluable asset. Her dedication, knowledge, and ability to connect with athletes make her an outstanding coach who continually strives for excellence on and off the court.

What client say about us
Hear it straight from our clients.
"Leslie is an excellent coach and role model"
Our daughter’s experience on her 17’s team was so outstanding, we followed Leslie to her current club. As a parent, I appreciate Leslie’s overall approach to the game, teaching the players the skills necessary to succeed on the court, while building their confidence to succeed off the court. Team building/chemistry between the players is fostered, resulting in a drama free experience. Under Leslie’s guidance, our daughter achieved her goal of competing at Nationals. We highly recommend Leslie as a team coach and/or trainer.
"Highly Recommend Coach Leslie Ray!"
Coach Leslie is an amazing volleyball coach! She has a wealth of experience as both a player and a coach, and it truly shows in her teaching. Her background playing multiple positions at a D2 level gives her valuable insight into all skills. She's passionate about the game and knows how to motivate players to improve. I’ve literally seen her work miracles! You definitely want to train with her!
"Leslie's positive coaching philosophy is key"
Our daughter has been receiving training from Coach Leslie since age 11. She is now 15 and excels as a hitter and defensively due to Leslie. Leslie's positive coaching philosophy is key, as she truly uses mistakes as learning opportunities to enable a player to get better. Her encouragement and micro-lessons on the sidelines means that players can see immediate improvement in their practice. Leslie's joyfulness in what she does shows in everything that she does, and she makes every player and space better. Our daughter has aspirations to play collegiate ball and it's due to Leslie that this will become a reality.
"If I could give 100 stars, I would!! "
Coach Leslie is by far one of the most talented coaches in volleyball and any sport for that matter. Coach Leslie not only helps to strengthen your skillset she also helps to prepare her athletes mentally! It has been a privilege to have had the experience to witness and be directly affected by the results of being trained and coached by Coach Leslie. You can see her determination to make an impact into each and every individual and athlete to help them grow and succeed in life. I am beyond grateful for pouring into and pushing my daughter to be her best self both on and off the court.
