Harland Choma

Harland fell in love with volleyball later in high school, playing for school teams for two years before joining the Tri Area Warriors Volleyball Club. She was both a team captain and an assistant captain, which helped her develop a strong appreciation for leadership, teamwork, and strategy. Unfortunately, a knee injury near the beginning of her second year ended her season short. Harland is passionate about fitness and the team atmosphere and hopes to inspire young athletes to love the game. As a coach, she aims to help young athletes develop their skills, gain confidence, and form meaningful relationships with their teammates, creating the same supportive and motivating atmosphere that resulted in her falling in love with volleyball. We are so pleased to welcome Harland to our coaching team and can’t wait to see her in action!
