Hannah is entering her 17th year of coaching. She started coaching in high school with a 4th grade widget volleyball team at Shrine of St. Annes school. During her five years in Omaha, Hannah coached club volleyball for River City Juniors (ages 14-16’s) as well as the freshmen team at a local 5A high school. When she realized Nebraska had no mountains, she moved back home to Colorado where she coached the JV team at Ralston Valley. Hannah is entering her 6th season at Heritage and is continually impressed with the quality of kids she gets to work with both on and off the court. She is looking forward to another GREAT season competing with the best in Colorado!

Coach Johnny started playing volleyball in high school when Ralston Valley first created a boys team. He quickly excelled and shifted his focus to outdoor grass and sand. Johnny competes in various doubles and 4v4 tournaments at the open and AA level. He recently became a member of the Colorado National Men’s Court team and will compete nationally.

Johnny started coaching high school volleyball as an assistant at Ralston Valley shortly after graduating and coaches youth volleyball at Juggernaut Volleyball Club. Johnny is entering his 6th year at Heritage as the Varsity Assistant coach.

Kenzie Cunningham will be returning for her 8th season of Heritage volleyball! Volleyball has been a huge part of her life for as long as she can remember and getting the chance to continue with the Heritage program and all of these incredible young ladies means the world. Also a Colorado native, born and raised in Littleton, Kenzie began playing when she was 9 years old and went on to play for Heritage herself throughout high school. After graduating she also gave Nebraska a shot enrolling at the University of Nebraska- Lincoln (Go Big Red). She didn’t last quite as long as Hannah without all the fabulous Colorado seasons and returned to attend Colorado State University, followed by University of Denver for her Master of Social Work. She now works with adolescents both on and off the court.

Kenzie is entering her 11th year of coaching. She started coaching in high school with a 5th grade recreation volleyball team in Highlands Ranch in order to get her youngest sister on the court for the first time. During her time at University of Denver she began her journey with Heritage volleyball with 8th grade Gold Crown. After the season and that crazy group of girls she was hooked. Kenzie is looking forward to following these crazy groups of girls as they advance in their high school and collegiate volleyball careers!

Kristen’s love for game began in seventh grade when she chose volleyball over basketball due to volleyball requiring less running! Little did she know that would be the beginning of a love for the game and provide friendships and bonds that have lasted decades.

She continued playing volleyball throughout high school as a setter at Air Academy High School in Colorado Springs. Kristen attended Colorado State University and majored in Public Accounting with a minor in French. After a year of living in Paris after graduation, she started working for KPMG LLP in Denver where she met and married Wade.

Twenty four years later, they live just up the path from the Heritage tennis courts and have a daughter in college (former HHS vball player) and two boys, one a junior at HHS and an incoming 2024 HHS Eagle. All play volleyball.

Her coaching started in the local Highlands Ranch recreation league with her daughter in elementary school, coached middle school boys and girls at Ben Franklin Academy, and has been the Freshman coach at HHS since 2022. Kristen is passionate about fundamental volleyball, player development on and off the court, and is excited to work with the freshman.
