Coach Bio: Laura Sansbury My name is Laura Sansbury. My husband and I moved our girls from public school to TKA the year they started 7th grade. Meg decided to try volleyball and before I knew it all 3 of them were playing and I was their JV coach. Three years later - I am still the JV coach and the assistant Varsity Coach. I am a graduate of King University of Bristol, Tennessee, where I played Volleyball and Tennis. I came to Florence as a Paralegal and was immediately drawn to Trinity Presbyterian Church. I also met my husband at Trinity - on a church volleybally team! I enjoy coaching because of the relationships that it builds with the kids. I strongly believe that being involved in an extracurricular activity enhances the school experience. I especially believe that being a part of a team sport builds character, friendships, trust, movtivation and excellence. Coaching is my opportunity to minister to these kids by attitude, example and affirmation.
