Hi, I’m Monica Ramon, and I’m excited to be joining Sakura Volleyball as the Director of the Boys Program. Over the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of building and leading boys volleyball programs, and through that experience I’ve learned that my favorite part of coaching has never been the wins and losses. It’s watching athletes grow into confident, resilient young adults and helping them discover strengths they didn’t know they had.

Sports have always been about more than competition to me. They’ve taught me accountability, perseverance, teamwork, and how to keep showing up even when things get hard. Those are the same lessons I hope to pass on to every athlete I coach. I believe in creating an environment where players are challenged to push beyond their comfort zones, supported through the ups and downs, and reminded that their value extends far beyond what happens on the scoreboard.

My vision for Sakura Volleyball is simple: build something people want to be part of. I want our athletes to feel seen, supported, and excited to walk into the gym each day. I want families to know they’re joining a community that genuinely cares about their kids. Most importantly, I want to continue creating opportunities for boys volleyball to grow and for every athlete to leave this program with lasting friendships, unforgettable memories, and a love for the game that stays with them long after their playing days are over.
