Head Coach - 12U: Carolina Moffatt
Hey! My name is Carolina Moffatt. I am 23 and am originally from Gainesville, FL but have recently moved to South Carolina where I attended and graduated from Erskine College. I have been playing volleyball since I was in middle school. I played club and for my high school where I started out as a setter but also played as an outside hitter and a middle blocker.

Since graduating in May, I have become a 1st grade teacher at Iva Elementary. In my free time I enjoy cooking, baking, being adventurous outdoors, working out, reading, and spending time with my friends and family. I’m super excited to go back to my roots of indoor volleyball and help other young girls find their passion for volleyball and them grow on and off the court!
