Head Coach Jenny Johnson Jordan completed her coaching staff on July 5,2023,with the hiring of Reeves before the 2024 season.
“This is a full circle moment having Kelly join the UCLA Beach Volleyball program as an assistant coach,” said Johnson Jordan. “As a student-athlete at UCLA and a current professional beach volleyball player, Kelly has always been a erce competitor and student of the game and I am excited for the great impact I know she will have with this program.”
In addition to her playing career, Reeves has developed a coaching career in all levelsofthesport,includingjuniors,collegiate,USAVdevelopment,andamateurs. In 2022, Reeves helped the LMU Lions nish 4th at the NCAA Beach Volleyball Championship, the best nish in the program’s history.That same year, Reeves was a recipient of the Thirty Under 30 Beach coaches award from the AVCA.
Her coaching career began with a two-year stint withWAVEVolleyball (2015-17) as an assistant coach. From there, Reeves joined the University of San Diego as a volunteer assistant coach for the Torero’s Indoor Volleyball Team (2016). Following this, she served as a private indoor coach for the VIBE Volleyball Lab from 2017-20 in Los Angeles.

During her time at UCLA, Kelly helped the UCLA Indoor Team to a National Championship in 2011 and competed in the inaugural season with the UCLA Beach Program in 2013. Kelly was named the program’s rst AllAmerican in 2013.
Prior to her beach debut, Kelly played one year of professional indoor volleyball in Switzerland and trained with the USA Indoor National Team from 2014-15. She then made her debut on the AVP in 2016, nishing 5th in her rst Main Draw. She was later named Rookie of the Year in 2016 and has since competed in all AVP events.

She has also competed on the NORCECA Tour and FIVB World Tour, with her highest FIVB nish of 2nd place in Cambodia.
Along with coaching and playing, she also enjoys co-hosting the Bet on Her Podcast (founded by Dana Drambarean) with fellow AVP athlete Geena Urango, to bring a women’s sports and lifestyle focused podcast to the public with a focus on telling the stories of women across every sports discipline while pulling the layers back of how the journey for women to gain traction and success in pro sports looks from the inside out.

His rst title, an indoor tournament in 1995, marked the rst time an AVP event was won by foreign-born players,as he claimed the title with Eduardo Bacil. In 2001, the FIVB chose Loiola and Rego as one of the two best beach volleyball teams of the ‘90s.

Playing in her rst season for the Bruins, Perez registered three blocks in the nals and was huge at the net.

Returningtothe ight format used throughout the regular season, pairs 4 and 5 took to the sand rst. In their rst action since Saturday’s semi nal, the Seminoles got off to a hot start, claiming each rst set. The Bruins would not go quietly, however, as each tandem recovered to force a rst-to-15 third set.
UCLA’s No.5 pair of Izzy Carey and Megan Muret posted a dramatic24-22second-setvictoryandrodeitsnewfound momentum to a 17-21, 24-22, 15-8 win over Madison Fitzpatrick and Francesca Goncalves to get the Bruins on the board rst.
The Florida State duo of Molly McBain-Brooke Kuhlman would soon make it a best-of-three affair,though,pulling the Seminoles even with a 21-15, 19-21, 15-12 defeat of Elise Zappia-Mac May in a battle of No. 4 pairs.
The top three courts came out determined in the second ight, sweeping the rst sets to put the Bruins on the brink of history. UCLA’s Court 3 team of Zana Muno and Savvy Simo grabbed their opportunity with a convincing
win over Macy Jerger-Sara Putt, 21-19, 21-9, to inch the Bruins one step closer.
With both Courts 1 and 2 on match point, the duo of Sarah Sponcil-Lily Justine played the part of hero. The second-court pair knocked off Katie Horton-Hailey Luke of the Seminoles, 21-18, 21-19, setting off a storming of the court in celebration.
The pairs of Nicole McNamara-Megan McNamara (Court 1) and Izzy Carey-Megan Muret (Court 5) were selected to the All-Tournament Team.
