On the volleyball court, Valley Christian Academy senior Mayley DiBernardi certainly knows how to dig deep.Â
As her team’s main passer and digger, she gets roughly 85 percent of hits and serves to the setter, according to head coach Rebecca Maples. It’s not an easy job, but Maples said the 17-year-old’s never-give-up attitude keeps the team running. That, and a mean serve that scores points consistently.Â
“She is the first to hit the ground to save a ball,” Maples said. “She never gives up and relentlessly encourages her teammates.”
On top of all her hard work on the court, DiBernardi coaches gymnastics at Pacific Flip, just another show of her commitment to help better the lives of other young athletes.Â
