Bio: Lexi Huddleston has been a dedicated volleyball coach for the past eight years, bringing passion, expertise, and a wealth of knowledge to the court. A native of Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, Lexi grew up immersed in the sport, playing both high school and club volleyball.

Her coaching journey began with the 208 Volleyball Club, where she had the privilege of learning under the mentorship of Jessica Trevna, the club’s director. Trevna—recognized as an elevated-level coach across multiple regions—instilled in Lexi a deep appreciation for the intricacies of the game and the importance of building strong foundations for young athletes.

During her time at 208 Volleyball Club, Lexi worked with a variety of age groups, coaching elite teams from 11U to 14U while also assisting with the club's younger programs. There, she focused on teaching fundamental skills—an experience that gave her a broad range of coaching techniques and a strong understanding of how to develop players at every stage of their volleyball journey.

After spending a year coaching at Eagle High School, Lexi accepted a full-time position at TVAC (Treasure Valley Athletic Club) in 2024, where she continues to share her love for the sport with younger athletes. Last season, she led the 14 Blue team to a successful year, finishing 2nd at the West Coast Invitational in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Lexi currently coaches TVAC’s Youth League program and will lead the 10 Elite team in the 2026 season. She emphasizes skill development, teamwork, and a passion for continuous growth.

With a coaching philosophy rooted in fundamentals and the belief that every player has the potential to improve, Lexi Huddleston is committed to helping her athletes reach their full potential—both on and off the court.
