St. Louis Powerhitters VBC

The Club's Board of Directors has established a Hall of Fame to recognize outsanding achievements and contributions to the Club. Players, parents, coaches, and Club personnel are eligible. The Board is not required to select anyone every year.

The 2009 charter members are Teresa Russo, Brandi Kozemski, and Patrick Kozemski. Teresa founded the Club in 2005. She also served as Assistant Club Director, and as a member of the initial Board of Directors. Brandi was the first coach hired for the Club, and Pat also served for several years on the Board. Together, they coached our first girl's team in 2006-07 to a third place finish for 11's at the Regional Championships, and laid the talent base that led the to 12's qualifying for the USAV Junior National Championships in the 2007-08 season.    

Those pictured below are listed in the order in which they were elected.

Becky is the first player ever inducted into the Club Hall of Fame, in 2013. She began play with the Club in the first year of the girl's program as a 12's player in 2006-07. She played 7 years for the Club as as defensive specialist and libero. A 2013 graduate of Rosati-Kain High School, she will be attending Mississippi State University to further her education in the chemical engineering program. She was but one of two freshmen to make the MSU Club volleyball team.

Shannon played for the Club from 2011 to 2015. She is the second player inducted, in 2015. In her four seasons with the Club she distinguished herself with an ability to play every position, and is famous for her "Shannon Cannon" attacks and serves. She is presently a 14's Assistant Coach, and will graduate from Windsor High School in June, 2016. Shannon plans on furthering her education as an engineer.  

Danita was elected in 2015. She served on the Board of Directors for four years, and was the "go to" person for the Club's numerous travel arrangements to National Qualifiers and USAV National Championships. Danita' insightful analysis and decision making-ability was appreciated and contributed to the Club's development. She is the proud mother of 2015 fellow inductee Shannon Koch.
