My name is Reese Olson, and I am attending Corona Del Mar High School in Newport Beach, CA as a Junior during the 2021-22 school year. I have been playing volleyball on the court and beach since I was 10 years old and absolutely love the sport.
I am the starting S/OPP for Balboa Bay Volleyball Club (formerly known as Orange County Volleyball Club <OCVBC>) and have played at the same club for 6 years finishing the 2021 season ranked 8th in the Southern California PVL Region with a 43-15 record. Highlights at OCVBC include placing 3rd at Junior Nationals in the Patriot Division, winning the Festival Tournament in Phoenix and placing 3rd at the Red Rocks Qualifier Tournament in Las Vegas. I play primarily as a setter/opposite and our club shifts back and forth from a 6-1 to a 6-2 offense.
In addition to volleyball I played as a soccer goaltender for Slammers FC ECNL up until high school and was selected to participate in the Southern California Olympic Development Program (ODP). Although I excelled at soccer my true love for sport is volleyball and I have focused all of my energy and time at developing myself on the court and beach.
Academically I currently maintain a 4.25 GPA at CDM and I am am very involved in Student Government and a 5 year member of the Associated Student Body (ASB). I have been the director of all Social Media for CDM High/Middle School for the past 4 years, managing the Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Facebook accounts for a student body of 2,400.
I am a member of Best Buddies helping kids with special needs, school Rotary Club and received the Silver Award from Girl Scouts. I also assisted coaching the CDM Middle School volleyball team. I have also attended volleyball camps in the past with Misty May and Charlene Johnson.
In my free time I love going to concerts, listening to music, boating and wake surfing. I have a spanish water dog named Cabo who I love intently and really looking forward to playing volleyball this fall back at CDM!
I hope you find that my website showcases my abilities and I look forward to learning how my skills as a left-handed setter/opposite would help your college program. Please reach out to me with an feedback or to answer any questions and get more acquainted!
