Leah Solomon - Director

"{Coach Leah}...the best coach you could have! She is very understanding and treats the girls as her own. She's not only a coach to them. She emphasizes teamwork and makes sure everyone feels valuable to the team. She communicates everything with parents. She's just awesome!"

"Having you and Coach Rodney as my coach really showed me how much I'm truly valued and how much my team depends on me. It showed me true teamwork and commitment. Having coaches see my real value on the court and on a team is something that I never had, but you and Coach Rodney gave it to me."

"My experience with Coach E personally, has been amazing, he is such a good coach who is funny and helps push people to there best abilities, during practices if there was any upset tears he would help us out and talk to us about getting out of our heads."

"I have loved playing on your team for a couple seasons now. You take a sport that we love and make us love it even more. I truly could not ask for better coaching from you and Coach Rodney."

"{Coach E's} character, personality and heart is a beautiful example of what a coach should be in any sport given. My girls are strong and skilled players because of Coach E coaching skills and heart for them."

"Y'all {Coach Leah and Rodney} are amazing coaches and love every athlete like they're your own daughter, no matter what mistakes are made."

"Thanks to {Coach E} many young girls have learned to be more confident and supportive , being able to work with one another to build community. "

"My daughter has played for Coach Leah and Rodney for over 3 years. The love and support they have shown my daughter is remarkable and not just in volleyball."

"Coach E always makes sure to put a smile on someone’s face. He’s really helped me on getting better on how I play, how I keep my attitude in check and keeping my head up and ready to play."

"Leah is a phenomenal coach. She truly cares about her kids and has developed them into strong, confident players."

"...out of all my coaches, you and Coach Rodney have been the best. You have taught me many things that I will carry with me through my volleyball career. I wish for every volleyball player to have a coach like you."

"My daughter, Journey, has since played six seasons with Coach E. We have continuously seen growth in her technique and confidence when on the court with his guidance."

"After my daughter's 8th grade volleyball season ended, she had the chance to play with Coach Leah and Coach Rodney and it changed everything for her. Thanks to these incredible coaches and the supportive team they built, she's found joy in volleyball again. Thank you both for believing in her, encouraging her, and reigniting her passion for the sport."

"Coach E has shown that he cares and he has trained me to become a better player and person, he can be funny and comforting all while being a little strict at the right times. He has helped me become a leader. "

Elijah is a amazing coach. Our family has been part of his coaching for many years. He loves his players and tells them often how he thinks of them as his own. He is tough when he needs to be, but compassionate to players and their families. We love him so much!

Within 3 seasons of my daughter working with Coach Leah & Coach Rodney she has completely transformed not only in skills but confidence as well. She learned how to love the game, her teammates & herself due to the positive morale built between the girls, a little tough love & the belief that she knew her coaches always had in her!

First club season for my daughter was a success! She learned a lot from the coaches and her confidence grew since joining Empower. I am excited to see her progress and excited for the next year!

Our experience with Empower Volleyball Club this season was outstanding. As a first-year club and my daughter’s first year playing at the club level, we truly didn’t know what to expect—but it exceeded all expectations.

Empower Club was our 1st experience with club volleyball and my daughter showed positive growth and confidence from the season.

We’re so thankful to be a part of Empower Volleyball. This club has created a space where our athlete can learn, have fun, and be herself. We’ve had a positive experience with the coaching and have felt supported this season. We couldn’t have asked for more as new South Carolina residents who were in need of a volleyball family this 25/26 season.

I loved playing with the girls this season! This season helped to teach me to continue to persevere through playing the sport I love. The progress my team made from the start of the season to end was awesome. I was able to build friendships along the season as well!

My daughter had the best time learning new skills and playing volleyball. I loved that everyone in Empower is always there for you to help with anything!
