Elevating FCS Volleyball: A Vision for Growth and Excellence
February 25, 2025
At Fremont Christian School, we are committed to developing student-athletes who excel both on and off the court. With the addition of Volleyball Consultant Coach Hole, our volleyball program is entering an exciting new phase, one that will strengthen technical skills, teamwork, and character development. Whether you are a current FCS family or considering joining our community, now is the perfect time to get involved.
Coach Hole brings years of experience as a player and coach, along with a deep passion for mentoring young athletes. His approach focuses not just on winning games but on building a culture of leadership, discipline, and resilience.
“My vision for FCS volleyball is to build a program that not only develops skilled and competitive athletes but also fosters strong character, teamwork, and a passion for the game,” Coach Hole shares. “I want to create a culture where players are challenged to grow both on and off the court, striving for excellence while embodying integrity, resilience, and sportsmanship.”
FCS already has a solid foundation, with dedicated players and a supportive school community. Now, the goal is to refine technical skills, strengthen team dynamics, and create a system that consistently produces strong, well-rounded athletes.
Opportunities for Growth & Leadership
While the program has many strengths, Coach Hole sees opportunities to enhance training systems and player development. His focus will be on implementing a more structured approach to technical and tactical training, emphasizing defensive strategies, serve-receive techniques, and high-tempo offensive plays.
“Volleyball isn’t just about physical ability—it’s about making smart, strategic decisions under pressure,” he explains. “Teaching resilience and focus will be a major part of our training.”
Coach Hole also believes that athletics are a powerful tool for shaping character. His coaching emphasizes resilience, teamwork, and accountability, all of which help student-athletes succeed in life beyond sports.
“Learning how to push through challenges, bounce back from setbacks, and stay focused on long-term growth is key—not just in volleyball, but in life,” he says. He incorporates team-building exercises, leadership training, and goal-setting activities to help students become confident, disciplined, and mentally strong.
From Player to Coach: A Passion for Mentorship
Coach Hole’s journey into volleyball was anything but traditional. Though he played in high school, he initially focused on track and field. After college, he rediscovered his passion for the game and was inspired by the supportive volleyball community in the Bay Area. Since then, he has traveled the world, playing competitively and recreationally while coaching for seven years at the club and high school level.
Introduced to FCS through mutual volleyball connections, Coach Hole was immediately impressed by Coach Evan Huynh’s commitment to the program. “Coach Evan has a clear vision for growth, and I’m excited to work alongside him to help take FCS volleyball to the next level,” he says.
In the next three to five years, he hopes to turn FCS into a highly competitive program that is known for both skill and sportsmanship while inspiring more students to get involved in the sport.
Volleyball’s Impact on the FCS Community
A strong volleyball program doesn’t just benefit athletes—it strengthens the entire school community. “Athletics help build school spirit, foster pride, and teach students valuable life skills,” Coach Hole explains. “When student-athletes push themselves to grow, their confidence carries over into other areas of life.”
Parents and the broader FCS community play a critical role in this growth. Supporting athletes, attending games, volunteering at events, and creating a positive and competitive culture will be key to building a sustainable, thriving program.
Advice for Future College Athletes
For FCS players hoping to compete at the college level, Coach Hole offers simple but important advice: work hard, stay disciplined, and develop game IQ.
“College recruiters are looking for players who are coachable, competitive, and mentally strong,” he says. “Put in the work now, and the opportunities will come.”
Join the Movement
With a renewed vision and leadership, FCS volleyball is set to reach new heights. Whether you’re a student, parent, or prospective family, now is the perfect time to become part of this growing program. Stay tuned for more updates as FCS volleyball continues to evolve and make its mark.
Athlete Spotlight: Alexander & Natalie Huynh — Champions in Sports, Leadership, and Service
February 19, 2025
At Fremont Christian School, student-athletes don’t just compete — they lead, serve, and inspire. Siblings Alexander and Natalie Huynh embody this spirit, excelling as competitive volleyball players while making a lasting impact through leadership, service, and perseverance.
From dominating on the court to earning Eagle Scout honors, winning pageant titles, and advocating for young women in scouting, the Huynh siblings are making their mark in more ways than one. Their journeys showcase resilience, ambition, and a deep commitment to their community.
Alexander Huynh: A Leader On and Off the Court
For Alexander Huynh, sports have always been a way of life. From T-ball and baseball in his early years to competing regionally and nationally in volleyball, his passion for athletics is clear. Now a libero for Lakas Volleyball Club, Alexander has been recognized for his defensive skills, earning MVP at UC Elite Volleyball Club.
"I’ve learned so much from volleyball — not just skills, but teamwork and leadership," he shares. His ultimate goal? To play volleyball at the collegiate level in NCAA Division 1 or 2.
Beyond Sports: Leadership & Service
Alexander’s leadership extends into Boy Scouts, where he is on the verge of achieving Eagle Scout, the highest rank in scouting. His volunteer work with nonprofits, alongside his father, further reflects his commitment to giving back.
An FCS senior, he’s also taken to the performing arts, participating in FCS theater productions like High School Musical and The Hunchback of Notre Dame. Whether on the court, on stage, or in his community, Alexander’s dedication and leadership shine.
Natalie Huynh: Breaking Barriers & Blazing Trails
Natalie Huynh isn’t just an athlete — she’s a trailblazer. Since joining FCS in second grade, she has excelled in athletics, leadership, and service.
As a setter for Lakas Girls 16 Power League, Natalie has been playing at an advanced level for years. At just 14, she competed in the 15U division at UVA, where she was recognized as coach’s choice. "I love volleyball — it’s my passion," she says. “The sport has taught me patience, teamwork, and how to adapt to different playing styles.” Her dream? To play college volleyball and earn a scholarship.
Leading the Way in Scouting
Frustrated by the lack of hands-on survival training for girls in scouting, Natalie took action. She challenged the existing charter, wrote a proposal, and successfully established an all-girls Boy Scout troop, ensuring that young women could access the same leadership training, survival skills, and rank advancements as their male counterparts.
Her determination led her to earn the Eagle Scout Silver Rank, one of the highest honors in scouting. "I wanted to learn real outdoor skills, so I took the initiative to make it happen," she explains. Her determination has opened doors for other young women to follow in her footsteps.
Crowned with Excellence
Natalie’s drive extends beyond sports and scouting. She recently competed in the Miss Vietnam California pageant, earning two major titles: Miss Entrepreneur, for her fundraising efforts supporting a nonprofit, and Miss Saigon, a prestigious award honoring the cultural roots of Vietnamese pageantry.
FCS: A Tight-Knit Community That Feels Like Family
For both Alexander and Natalie, Fremont Christian School has provided more than just academics — it has fostered a sense of belonging. With its small class sizes and strong student-teacher relationships, FCS offers an environment where students truly connect. "Because the school is small, you know everyone, and there’s a real sense of community," Natalie says.
A defining experience for both siblings has been J-Term retreats, where students step away from daily routines to deepen their faith and build lifelong friendships. "Late-night worship is my favorite part," Natalie shares. “There’s no judgment, and you can truly feel God’s presence.”
Alexander also highlights the Mexico mission trip, where students worked together to build homes for families in need — a life-changing experience that reinforced FCS’s emphasis on faith, service, and community.
Looking Ahead: A Future of Leadership & Excellence
Alexander hopes to continue playing college volleyball while balancing his passion for leadership and service, whether at a local school or further from home. Natalie also has her eyes on college volleyball and is considering a career in physical therapy, blending her love for sports and helping others.
Wherever their paths take them, one thing is certain — their dedication, resilience, and leadership will continue to make an impact. Whether on the volleyball court, in their communities, or in their future careers, the Huynh siblings are just getting started.
