HERITAGE VOLLEYBALL

MISSION

PRIDE | CHARACTER | EXCELLENCE
Varsity players celebrating

We develop great volleyball players and even better humans

Athletics are a small piece of kids’ overall high school experience but the lessons they learn through sports will have a lasting impression throughout their lives. Heritage Volleyball is dedicated to developing players with a hard work ethic, perseverance, teamwork and communication. We want our athletes to succeed in life with the tools they develop through high school sports.

We are for and with others

Players are often wrapped up in their immediate world; did we win that match, did I score. While it is important to self reflect, we want to expand players’ perspective; was I a good teammate today, am I positively contributing to the world around me. Heritage volleyball is committed to an attitude of others-centeredness and team cohesion.

We strive and train for excellence on the court

The expectation of players and coaches in the Heritage Volleyball program is excellence. We will train excellence in fundamentals, game strategy and court IQ. We aim to develop well-rounded players who can step into a variety of roles on the court.

Kristen Haufschild

Head Freshman/L4 Coach

About Kristen

Kristen Haufschild will be returning for her 4th season coaching for Heritage volleyball in 2025.

Kristen’s love for game began in seventh grade when she chose volleyball over basketball due to volleyball requiring less running.

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 five years later, they live just up the path from the Heritage tennis courts.  All three of their kids have attended Heritage.  They have a daughter attending Colorado State (former HHS vball player), a son attending IIT in Chicago playing NCAA volleyball, and a son who is a sophomore at Heritage.  Both boys have played for the LPS Boys Volleyball team.  

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.
