Kate is a Bountiful High Brave and a huge Ute fan. Played volleyball for the Southern Virginia University Knights 2005-2008, but also was a two-time intramural doge-ball champion! That's right! She's got the bruises to prove it. Kate learned Russian while living in Estonia and Latvia for 18 months. Now she's back in her homeland and is ready to coach some amazing volleyball players!

Michael Lemmert
I am Michael Lemmert and have been involved with coaching volleyball for 19 years here in the Salt Lake Valley. I coached 7 years at Christ Lutheran School, 6 years with Players Volleyball Club, partnered with Scott Lee to start Club Utah and coached with Club Utah for 6 years including two national berths and 2 years with Utah Juniors. During the last
5 years I have coached Murray High School’s freshman team for 3 years and
coached Bingham High’s Jr. High team for 1 year. During my time as coaching I have been
involved with several High Performance coaches training sessions as well as
several sessions with Gold Medal Squared with Club Utah. My love for the game is continuously
reinforced by experiencing the success of the players I coach in expanding
their abilities in fundamentals, playing and understanding the game of
volleyball. It is all about the players.

Lindsay has been around volleyball since she was a freshman in high school when she tried out for the Alta Volleyball team on a whim. I guess you could say it stuck! Lindsay played in college at Mesa Sate College in Grand Junction, CO as well as Westminster College here in Utah, where she later spent a year as an assistant coach.
Lindsay has been involved in coaching high school and club volleyball for 12 years. Currently, she is the JV coach at Riverton High School. Lindsay has coached teams in every age group and has experienced lots of success with those teams. Lindsay started her club coaching career with High Country VBC in 2000 and took 6 straight teams to the JOVC tournaments after winning region titles locally. She is very passionate about the sport of volleyball and loves watching players grow and develop into great athletes as well as great young women.
Personally, Lindsay is mom to 2 boys, Braxton and Ryker who love to come to the gym with her and are active little athletes themselves. You'll usually find them running back and forth across the court during their favorite serving game, "Death Run"...daring the girls to hit them with serves :).
