watch our 2025-26 Season Info Meeting!

Hi there! I am so thankful to have been able to coach for over 10 seasons and direct this club for the last four years. I have had the privilege or working with all ages from 7 years old up to 40 year olds and all skill levels - Beginner to College athletes. 

My experience both playing and coaching has allowed me to specialize in every position except Libero/DS and I really enjoy working with Hitters/Blockers and Setters.

My desire for each and every athlete that participates in our program is that they know that they matter as more than just an athlete and that we help them develop in their character, not just in their volleyball skills. 

I'm Cassie Johnson, and I'm originally from Nashville, TN. I have over 20 years of volleyball experience through school ball, club in college, and continuing to play in adult leagues and tournaments. I've been coaching since 2020 and enjoy helping athletes become the best versions of themselves, both on and off the court. One of my favorite reminders to give our players is to start strong, stay strong.

Howdy, my name is Napoleon Larry. I am a combat Veteran from St. Louis/Kansas City, Missouri. My daughter and I relocated to Spring Hill, TN two years ago for a job promotion. I have played volleyball many many years ago in school and have many years of coaching experience in different sports including volleyball. I am grateful to be joining the amazing team at Hustle Factory and look forward to guiding our athletes. 

Hello, I am coach Emily and I am from Murfreesboro, TN. 

When joining HFVC, I had very little experience in volleyball but have sports experience from growing up playing soccer. This is my 2nd season coaching and I enjoy it so much!

What I love most is being a positive influence in people’s lives especially young athletes. My coaches were people who have changed my lie and helped me to become who I am today!

At this moment I love coaching all ages. Currently I assist for our 16/17u team. I tend to gravitate more towards working with Liberos and DS because of my size but would love to continue building my knowledge of setting and work with them.

I am Megan Barfield, originally from Ohio, but middle Tennessee has been my home since 2004.

I played volleyball throughout middle and high school.  Thanks to my parents I participated in six years of club volleyball and went to nationals one year. I’ve also played in few adult leagues over the years. This is my first year coaching and I look forward to assisting this year with HF.  We had a great experience with HF last season and my daughter grew a ton. Being back in the gym and at tournaments fired up my love for volleyball again! Being around the athletes and teaching them skills, hard work, and how to be consistent is exciting and so rewarding. Watching a skill finally click with a player is the best! 

When I was a volleyball player, my position was left side both front and back row.  Hitting, passing, serving, covering hitters, transitioning on and off the net and setting the block are things I’m most comfortable with.  However, I was used as a backup setter, so I can offer some knowledge there as well.  I often joke that I may have played volleyball in the “Middle Ages” but the technique is still the same! 

Hello! I’m Leslie Fawcett. I was born and raised in Louisville, KY and moved to Nashville in 1988 after I graduated from Western Kentucky University. I have lived in Thompsons Station since 2001. I have been playing volleyball since 1983. I tried it as a senior in High School, barely making the team. I fell in love with the sport the following spring when I started playing pick-up sand volleyball. I have been playing ever since, 6s, 4s, 2s, indoor, sand, grass! I’ve played a lot of volleyball and I’ve watched a lot of volleyball both as a spectator and a parent when my kids were playing. This will be my first experience coaching. I’m excited to learn this aspect of the sport. I love this sport so much and want to bring that passion to the next generation. I want everybody to be playing volleyball when they’re my age😉

Hey there, my name is Madeline Peeler and I am a born and raised Nashville native! 

I played all 4 years of highschool and 4 years of travel and still play in multiple adult co-ed rec leagues. I rotate between outside and right side/setter. I’ve always loved volleyball as it’s brought me some of my best friends and I would love to foster that kind of relationship building for our players each season! 

This is my first year coaching but I hope that I can relay and instill in others half of what my coaches taught me. I still keep up with those coaches and am excited that I’m now getting to switch roles and be that person for others. 

Serving and setting have always been strong suits of mine, which I think are such crucial and sometimes underrated parts of the game. So I’m looking forward to teaching the little tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way to my team!
