Though she was recruited to a few colleges, at that time she decided not to continue with volleyball. In 2014, she came back to CBA as JV head coach and varsity assistant coach, and that experience sparked her love for coaching.

During her time spent with USAV she has coached U15-U18 teams who have earned medals in various regional and out of state tournaments, and two East/West Carolina Regional championships. She was asked to join the coaching staff of the JCHE Jaguars home school program in 2018 as the head coach for their first conference varsity team. They ended the season with a very competitive record at that level, took silver at the first HSPN East Coast Volleyball Nationals, and a great showing at the Conference tournament in Greensboro.

Head Middle School COach
Leah Fisher
Leah started playing Jaguars at the age of 14. Though she started playing at an older age than most, she quickly developed a love and passion for the sport. From then on, she played volleyball year-round. She continued to play Jaguars from 2018 to 2022. When the Jaguars were off-season, she played pickup with her sisters or played in Garner. She also played two seasons of 18U club. No matter how much fun she had on her other teams, the Jaguars were her home. After she graduated, Leah coached as a middle school assistant and returned this season to coach as head. Her goal as a Jaguars coach is to guide the players through the same lessons, experiences, and friendships she got to have for all those years. When she's not playing or coaching volleyball, Leah works as a barista in a local coffee shop and takes classes at Wake Tech. Her plan is to transfer to a university and become a graphic designer.
