Jess Gates- VC Revolution Coach and Girls Volleyball Site Leader
Jess came to the Dominican Republic in 2009 with hopes and dreams of starting a "girls sports site". Not sure if she would use volleyball or softball, God started opening up the doors to start volleyball teams throughout the town of Jarabacoa. Jess continues to coach the varsity team as well as help coach the JV, freshman and community teams.
Chelsie Blackburn- VC Revolution Coach & Co-Leader for Girls Sports Site
Chelsie was an answer to prayer for VC Revolution. As more girls wanted to join, the site was in need of another female, christian coach. In 2012, Chelsie contacted Jess asking if there was anything she could do to help. After a little bit of convincing, Chelsie agreed to come on staff and joined Students International in January of 2013. Chelsie helps coach the teams and helps to keep coach Jess organized. :)
