Operations Manager
Jessica Ballentine Jessica has been a family spectator at the club and has become very passionate about volleyball… She loves watching it and seeing the girls grow and excel at their game. She enjoys seeing all the players give their team and the club 100% effort every time they step foot on the court, whether it’s at a tournament or at practice. She loves the positive relationships between coach, players, parents and staff alike because she believes attitude can make the difference between having a good relationship and having a great relationship. Jessica is also a big believer in communication and is very approachable. She believes sports builds character and gives a sense of accomplishments… Jessica hopes all our KAT athletes can feel that the staff and coaches care deeply about investing in their lives. She believes our players and families will be changed for the better because they were a part of this club. Jessica resides in Apex, NC with her husband (Marcus) and daughter (Victoria). She enjoys hanging out with her family, traditional coffee-Saturdays with her mom, grandmother and sisters; learning the game of golf, and watching sports in her spare time.
