The 2023 All-VYPE Private School Volleyball Teams presented by Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine

Numerous interesting developments transpired in the private school sector of volleyball over the course of the past few months.

Despite the fact that no Houston team came home with a state title this Fall, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t memorable, given how many clubs were within reach.

LSA advanced all the way to the TAPPS-5A State Final, with FBCA trailing just behind them, whereas Concordia Lutheran and Bay Area Christian finished in the state final-four in the TAPPS 6A and 4A brackets, respectively.

Similarly, in the SPC, both Episcopal (4A) and Houston Christian (3A) finished their tremendous seasons as the state runner-ups.

Without further ado, here are your 2023 All-VYPE Private School Volleyball team presented by Houston Methodist Orthopedics & Sports Medicine.

COACH OF THE YEAR: Kim Odinga, Concordia Lutheran

Bradley C. Collier (VYPE)

In her first year back with the program, coach Kim Odinga re-ignited Concordia Lutheran Volleyball to the point where it was reminiscent of the 2016 championship team she had coached previously.

The Crusaders had talent to spare. With the slew of college commits and club-competitors on the squad, paired with Odinga’s familiarity with the territory, it came as no surprise that Concordia Lutheran advanced to the State Semis and finished the year with a record of 38-13.
