Twelve setters. One Saturday. Direct hands-on coaching from Jenna Hagglund-Wagner — Lakota legend, NCAA Elite Eight setter, Pan American Games gold medalist — back home in Mason for one afternoon of advanced training your daughter will not forget.
They're crowd control with a whistle.
Sixty kids in a gym. One coach. Ninety minutes of generic drills you could've watched on YouTube. Your daughter goes home, shrugs, and nothing actually changes.
If your setter is serious — if she's training for varsity, club nationals, college recruiting, or just becoming the player she knows she can be — that kind of "clinic" isn't moving her anywhere.
This Saturday is the opposite of that.
She's from here. Lakota grad. Class of 2007.
Before she was a Team USA gold medalist, she was a Cincinnati kid who fell in love with the game in eighth grade and decided — somewhere between AAU tryouts and a fortune cookie that read "You'll make changes before setting satisfactorily" — that she was going to be great at it.
And she was. Cincinnati Player of the Year. GMC Player of the Year. AVCA First Team All-American — one of the top 36 high school players in America her senior year.
Then she went to Washington and started every single set for four years as a Husky. 5,326 career assists. Two NCAA Elite Eight runs. AVCA All-American. The only setter on the All-Pac-10 team as a junior.
Then Team USA called. Pan American Games gold. Pan American Cup gold. NORCECA gold. Five years professional in Australia, France, Germany, Poland, and Italy.
Now she's coming home to teach 24 setters what nobody taught her at their age.
Hands. Footwork. Platform. The fundamentals that elite setters never stop refining — taught the way they're actually taught at the international level.
Reading hitters. Reading defenses. Choosing the right set under real pressure — not in a static drill, but at the speed the next level actually plays.
What separates elite from average isn't talent. It's the seven seconds after a bad set. Jenna teaches the mindset she had to build to start every match for four years.
Jump sets. Quick tempo. Back row sets. Out-of-system delivery. The tools college coaches actually look for at recruiting events.
Cincinnati's own. She left Mason for Washington, finished as one of the most decorated setters in Pac-10 history, played for Team USA, and competed professionally on four continents. She knows what the top of this sport demands — because she lived it.
Before Jenna was Team USA. Before she was AVCA First Team All-American at Lakota. Before any of it — there was Stu.
He's her dad. He's her first coach. And after building one of the most decorated setters in Pac-10 history right here in Cincinnati, he's spent the years since pouring that same belief into the next generation of CVA athletes.
Stu doesn't just teach skill. He teaches certainty — the kind that lets a setter step into pressure instead of shrinking from it. If Jenna's the one who refines the polish, Stu's the one who lays the foundation. On Saturday, he'll be on the floor right beside her.
When it does — when a Team USA gold medalist who actually grew up training on these same courts comes home to teach the next generation of setters — you don't "think about it."
You don't "talk it over after the weekend."
You secure the spot. Because in 24 hours it won't be there.
Twelve setters per session. Direct coaching from a Team USA gold medalist. Saturday, May 2nd. Cincinnati Volleyball Academy. $75. Pick her time slot below.
