Kayla Afoa

14 Black Assistant

I was born and raised in Hawaii on the island of Oahu where I played varsity for Kamehameha Schools for four years and made it to the state championship all four years. We won two state titles out of the four years we made it to the state championship. I received conference honors all four years, conference MVP senior year, and was named to the state fab 15 honorable mention my sophomore year and fab 15 second ranked player my junior and senior year. In the state championship game my junior year, I was MVP of the state tournament. I also played soccer and did track and field in high school, where I won a state championship with soccer my freshman year and went back to back state champion for long jump. In 2017, I was inducted to the HHSAA Hall of honor. I then received a full ride scholarship to play at the University of Nevada as an Outside hitter. My freshman year I was more of a utility player and played Right side/opposite, DS, libero and outside hitter. By my sophomore year I solidified my role as an outside hitter and played that position for the rest of my college career which just finished last fall in November 2022. I received 4 MW player of the week honors throughout my career as well as 3 all conference honors. I was named to multiple all-tournament teams, 3 of which were MVP awards. I’ve coached club volleyball since 2019 at Northern Nevada Juniors volleyball club (NNJ) as a floating coach since I was still playing college ball and couldn’t commit to being assigned to a team full time, working with youth ranging from the age of 4-18. I moved to Colorado after I was done playing collegiately to be with and watch my boyfriend finish his college career playing football at CSU. I am still pursuing my master’s degree online through Nevada in Justice Management with graduation in May 2024.
