Director Hannah GravesHannah Graves started playing volleyball in a recreational league and took private lessons with Brian Charles. She fell in love with the sport immediately. She spent every night in the gym and started her first club season at 13s. She played only for Crush from 13s to 18s. Hannah embodies the quote, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." When she started, she had never played a ball sport, but she was determined to figure out how to be athletic in a new way.
Hannah played for Notre Dame College and Mount Saint Joseph from 2022 to 2026. She was an undersized 6-rotation, outside hitter. At Mount Saint Joseph, she earned All-Conference awards. Hannah graduated in 2026 with an accounting degree and is currently completing her Master of Business Administration, graduating in 2027. She also played semi-professional volleyball for 2 seasons with the Lexington-based Unicorns. Now, Hannah plays sand volleyball at Setters and Grand Sands in her free time. Hannah offers private lessons for all positions and ages.
