Patriot Volleyball 🏐 is in HIGH GEAR!
In October, the Patriot Varsity faced tough competition from Dallas, Houston, Austin, and Fort Bend at the Dallas Angels State Classic tournament. They ended placing 5th in the gold bracket; not too shabby for a younger, mostly new-to-varsity crew!
Junior Varsity took 3rd in the JV silver bracket, while the mighty Middle School A team placed 3rd in the MS gold bracket. The Boys’ team, working like a well-oiled machine, tied for 3rd at the Dallas Spartans State Boys’ tournament.
REGISTER NOW! November 12 will be our sand volleyball tournament fundraiser and on November 17, our end-of-season banquet takes place with presentations of team accomplishments and awards.

Volleyball Season is in High Gear!
In the season opener on August 9, FEAST Varsity girls won their first game in four sets against the D’Hanis Cowgirls. They went on to compete in a tournament hosted by the Hondo Owls where they went undefeated and took first place by beating the Owls in 3 sets. MVP’s for the tournament were Ashlyn Caddell, Blake Dinh, and Jaidah Hawkins. In Hondo, the Patriots faced the Uvalde Lobos and had a chance to present their high school teams with handmade gifts symbolizing “Faith, Hope, & Love” as tokens of support for the players and the community.
We would like to introduce our new varsity coach, Coach Mickey Sifuentes!
Mickey is originally from the San Antonio area and comes from a long lineage of volleyball players and coaches. Her mother, father, sister, grandmother, aunts, and even cousins have all played or coached volleyball. So it’s safe to say volleyball runs in her family!!
As a varsity setter for four years at Floresville High School, Mickey continued to play at Angelo State University as a defensive specialist/Libero. Coach Mickey has since coached in both school and club for eight years. This past club season she was instrumental in leading her 14s team to nationals where they placed 2nd in their division.
We are super excited to have her coaching our varsity this season!! Welcome aboard, Coach Mickey!
Ready to see more? Watch the Patriot Volleyball team in action at The Castle Hills Tournament on Friday, September 9 and Saturday, September 10 at The Christian School at Castle Hills, 2216 NW Military Hwy, San Antonio, TX 78213. See you there!

Wilks led the Patriots to a 42-5 record and a national Gold Ball in 2021! She is the first of the Class of 2022 to sign to play in college.
“It’s been such a crazy ride over these past eight years,” Wilks said. “I’m just thankful for everybody who supported me in chasing my dream.”

Congratulations to Jaidah Hawkins – 2021 Phoenix Milner Award Winner!
FEAST Volleyball is very proud to announce Jaidah Hawkins as the recipient of the 2021 Phoenix Milner Award for excellence in leadership!
Hawkins, a sophomore on the Patriots’ JV squad, was revealed as the winner at the program’s season-ending awards banquet at Oak Ridge Baptist Church on Thursday night. She was one of four finalists, alongside Katie Braymer, Anna Dawson, and Emory Davey.
Phoenix Milner was a FEAST volleyball and basketball player who tragically lost her life in a car accident on May 23, 2020. She was an incredibly special person who touched the lives of everybody in the program. Phoenix was a vocal leader, a tireless worker, a stranger to none, and a friend to all. She was the prime example of what it meant to truly love others unconditionally and she set a classic example of what it means to be a FEAST Patriot.
In her honor, the FEAST Patriot Volleyball program introduced the Phoenix Milner Award in 2020. Recognized as the most prestigious honor in the program, this award is awarded annually to the one player, of any age, in the program who demonstrates the very highest example of leadership on the court, in the classroom and in the community.
The recipient was chosen by a vote of the program’s players and coaches. Congratulations, Jaidah!
As we close out an incredible season of bonding, connection, and a lot of exciting games, we would like to thank and express our gratitude to Volleyball leadership for their tremendous efforts, energy and love for our program! From our commissioners to coaches to the behind-the-scenes volunteers, we thank you for providing this wonderful program to all of these young women and their families!

Patriots Capture National Gold Ball!
It’s almost time for our famous Fall Sand Tournament Fundraiser!
What a group of commissioners, coaches, and players who represent what a FEAST Athletics family is all about! The bonds and friendships they share are absolutely key to this program’s success!
A season-long goal came to fruition for the FEAST varsity squad as the Patriots won the Class 6A Gold Ball at the National Christian Homeschool Volleyball Championships.
The Patriots (42-5) did not drop a set in four matches en route to capturing the second Gold Ball in program history. FEAST won a Class 3A Gold Ball in 2018.
FEAST finally fell in the tourney’s final day, finishing third nationally among all of the Gold Ball winners.
The Gold Ball caps a stellar October for FEAST, which included a runner-up finish at the state championship. In its 20th season of play, the FEAST volleyball program’s archives are somewhat incomplete. However, it is widely believed that this squad broke a few school records in its quest, including those for wins, winning percentage, and trophies.
To complement the varsity’s run, FEAST also came home with Silver Balls in the 16U and 14U divisions, capping the most successful national run in school history.
While that’s a wrap on what seemed like another gone-too-quickly season, the Patriots still have a few activities in store. The next is coming up on Saturday, Nov. 6, when they host their Sand Tournament Fundraiser at Sideliners Grill.
Coach Doug Johnson summarized the season perfectly: “Words can’t describe the joy and happiness that has come from working with such amazing coaches, athletes, and parents. I’m so proud of how well this program did this season, it is a success by any measure.”
Congratulations, ladies – what a season!!

October’s Excitement and Meet Asst. Commissioner, Lisa Gould!
October is the biggest month on the FEAST volleyball calendar, with state and national tournaments to be conducted. The varsity and JV teams open play on October 1st in the HSAA Dallas Angels Classic, considered to be the Texas Homeschool State Championship. Two weeks later, the Blue, Red, and both middle school teams will head to Round Rock to compete in the TAIAO State Championship. Our season concludes with the exciting and climactic National Christian Homeschool Volleyball Championships in Lawrence, Kansas., from October 21-23.
The varsity squad has its sights set on both state and national titles.The Patriots have started the year with an impressive 26-2 record, highlighted by three tournament championships! Most recently, the team traveled to Dallas and captured the North Texas Regional title over many of the top homeschool organizations in the state. Congratulations to Seniors Maddie Hanson and Katie Braymer who earned all-tournament honors!
The JV team also left Dallas as the top team in its division, topping all of the JV competition and some of the varsity teams to boot. The Patriots JV are 10-8-1 overall and 8-2 against JV opponents.
Lastly, just a few spots remain for our Fall Sand Tournament Fundraiser, to be held at Sideliners Grill on November 6th. Come join us for a family favorite fun-filled day, featuring sun, sand and a Silent Auction!

The season is one-third over, but what a start for the Patriots!
The varsity squad has enjoyed perhaps its most impressive start to a season ever, racking up a perfect 12-0 record and back-to-back tournament crowns!
The Patriots captured the CHSM Tournament championship in Houston with a victory over their local homeschool rival, the SA Saints, in the title match. A week later, they bumped off previously-undefeated Pleasanton to win the hardware at the Devine Tournament. Bekah Wilks earned MVP honors while Lauren Crismore and Addie Force were chosen to the all-tournament team.
The Patriot JV was invited to play in the varsity division at the CHSM Tournament and won the silver bracket title with an impressive three-set come-from-behind win over Houston’s Westbury Christian.
Our Blue Team made the gold bracket in the JV division and finished fifth overall, and even our Red Team, with five first-year freshmen, had a solid showing among the JV competition.
The September schedule is highlighted by a trip to the North Texas Regional Tournament in Arlington on September 10-11th.
Registration is now open for our Fall Sand Tournament Fundraiser, to be held at Sideliners Grill on November 6. Come join us for a family favorite fun-filled day, featuring sun, sand and a Silent Auction!

It’s time for Volleyball and Meet Commissioner Kevin Force!
After months of sand volleyball, drive-in movies and team fundraising, the long wait is over and volleyball season is finally here! The Patriots will feature four high school and two middle school teams that begin practice on August 2, and have high hopes for strong showings at the homeschool state and national tournaments in October.
Alongside the community activities, our players also spent a considerable amount of time on the court in the off-season. FEAST players took advantage of regular training sessions, including: Gold Medal Squared Elite Players Camp, Summer League, and Open Gym – see lots more here! That extra work should bode well for Coach Doug Johnson and the varsity squad! Our Varsity returns with three starters from last year’s solid team that missed winning a national Gold Ball by just two points. With nine seniors on this year’s team, Johnson expects the Patriots to bring home the Gold Ball!
Teams will get their first test on August 10th – see our season schedule now!
Meet Commissioner Kevin Force
Kevin and the Force family have been a part of FEAST Volleyball since 2016 when their eldest daughter was in middle school. He and his wife, Laura, have since served the FEAST volleyball program in many ways: coaching, fundraising, social media marketing, and Commissioner.
Kevin is a financial advisor in his day job and finds great joy in helping people reach financial goals and plan for retirement. Previously, he worked in college athletics at Ohio State, New Mexico State, and the University of Nevada as a Sports Information Director. Kevin applies those skills at FEAST which helps him to serve the program without sacrificing quality family time.
The Forces love the community of FEAST athletics! They strive to maintain a spirit of inclusivity in FEAST volleyball, while teaching athletes about the character of Christ and God’s word about how we should live. They are proud and honored to lead athletes in competitive play at the local, regional and national levels, while modeling honor and glory to God in every action: Honor God, Love People, Play Volleyball.
Kevin and Laura have been married for 16 years and are proud parents of three Patriots: Addie, Lucas, and Emaleigh. Their girls play for FEAST Volleyball and Lucas plays for FEAST Basketball, although he does dabble a bit in volleyball. (The family that plays together stays together, right?) When they aren’t in the gym with volleyball, the Forces love to watch Lucas play basketball, are fans of NASCAR racing, and enjoy camping in their remodeled travel trailer (a Covid-19-inspired project!) They enjoy traveling to visit family in Corpus Christi, North Carolina, and Colorado.
Thank you for your leadership in our program, Kevin!

Volleyball Skills Assessments: May 24th – 26th!
FEAST Volleyball has enjoyed a busy and momentous spring, but it’s time to turn our attention to the summer. The biggest event on the schedule in May is our skills assessment, which will determine team placement for the fall. Middle school player assessments will take place on Monday, May 24th, and Tuesday, May 25th, from 2 to 4 pm at Alamo City All-Star Sportsplex. For the high school players, the event will cover three days, running from Monday, May 24th through Wednesday, May 26th from 12 noon to 2 pm at the same location. Registration is open until May 21. A Patriot Pass is not needed until you accept a position on a team for the fall.
Once team placement is complete, life will slow down a bit for our volleyball players. They will get to enjoy the summer before reconnecting in late July for the Gold Medal Squared Elite Players Camp. The camp is open to all FEAST players in good standing and will likely be opened up to the public later in the summer. Dates are July 27-30, and the cost is $350.
In the meantime, the organization will begin its sponsorship fundraiser. If you have a business or know of one that would like to partner with the volleyball program, please contact Laura Force at (210) 296-9227.

April 2021
There have been an abundance of spring volleyball opportunities, and the Patriots have taken full advantage!
The highlight last month was our Sand Volleyball fundraiser at Sideliners Grill. More than a dozen teams turned out for a Saturday filled with fun and beautiful weather, and the day would have been a complete success without raising a dollar. But those in attendance made it even better, helping to raise almost $3500 for the program.
The Patriots also enjoyed a wonderful fellowship day during Spring Break, the first social action for many of our new families. The day kicked off with sand volleyball (of course) at Landa Park and was capped with a movie at Stars and Stripes Drive-in. However, the social event of the month was a group excursion to San Marcos to watch world-class indoor volleyball between Texas State and Texas. More than 25 families enjoyed a rare spring collegiate contest between these two national powerhouses right in our own backyard.
Aside from all of the fun, the players have been busy in the gym, too. Skills clinics have been in session since February and will continue through May 3rd. These physically fun and challenging two-hour sessions are open to 5th-grade to 12th-grade players of all skills levels, from beginners to collegiate hopefuls. These clinics are a great way for off-season athletes to get into the gym. Sessions are held weekly on Mondays at San Antonio’s premier volleyball facility, the brand new Force Sports Center at 7218 N Loop 1604 E., and led by the FEAST coaching staff. Cost is $45/mo per player. (NOTE: Registration is now closed for 2021 Skills Clinic – please check back next spring!)

Champions are made in the off-season.
With that in mind, Patriot Volleyball has been hard at work this spring. More than 50 boys and girls have participated in our spring skills clinics, fine-tuning their skills for success next fall.
These physically fun and challenging two-hour sessions are open to fifth-grade to 12th-grade players of all skills levels, from beginners to collegiate hopefuls. These clinics are a great way for off-season athletes to get into the gym. Sessions are held weekly on Mondays from 2-4 pm at San Antonio’s premier volleyball facility, the brand new Force Sports Center at 7218 N Loop 1604 E., and led by the FEAST coaching staff. Cost is $45/mo per player.
In May, we will conduct player evaluations and make team assignments for the upcoming fall season. Families who are interested in playing on a competitive team next season must attend an evaluation session. Dates for these sessions will be determined soon and announced in next month’s MANNA.
February 2021
The new year began right for Patriot Volleyball with fantastic news!
Senior captain Laura Johnson signed a National Letter of Intent to study and play volleyball at John Wood Community College in Quincy, Ill. A three-time homeschool All-American, Johnson led the Patriots to three consecutive national Gold Ball games, including a title in 2018. She led the Patriots in most offensive statistical categories and is a phenomenal student who will graduate in May. We are incredibly proud of Laura and wish her well next season.

We would like to take the time to welcome our new Head Volleyball Commissioner, Kevin Force!
Kevin and his lovely wife Laura have been members of FEAST for several years. They have two daughters who enjoy playing for the FEAST Volleyball program and a son who plays for the FEAST Basketball program. We look forward to a great season with Kevin at the helm!
Volleyball is enjoying a slower pace here in our off-season, but we are still doing some work behind the scenes to prepare for all that is to come. We hosted two successful dining fundraisers raising just over $200 for our program. These were such enjoyable ways to spend some time with friends with benefit to FEAST Volleyball. Stay tuned to the Manna and our social media for the next opportunity. Thank you in advance and high five!
Skills clinics begin in February. Both boys and girls fifth grade and up of all athletic levels are invited to join us on Monday afternoons through May. Come and see what all the hype is about. The cost is $45 per month per player. Our clinics will be held at FORCE Sports gym at their new location, 7218 N Loop 1604 E in San Antonio. Knowledgeable, experienced, and FUN coaches will be on-site to help new players get started, and veteran players get better. Training will be available for all levels.
Until then, we encourage our FEAST volleyball Patriots to stay active. Activities including low impact plyometrics are great for conditioning and maintaining some strength and endurance. Work on quickness and footwork with multiple sets of drills like ladder drills or low impact jumps for 15 seconds with short rests in between. Watch for more training suggestions from your coaches on social media throughout the season.
