Ollie Burns III - Basketball Coordinator

Jennifer Samek - Club President & Volleyball Coordinator

Jennifer Samek - Club President & Volleyball Coordinator

My name is Ollie, I was born in Seattle Washington.


I started playing basketball at the age of 6 and never stopped loving or playing the game. I played AAU ball, high school ball, and a lot of pick-up games around the city at the local community centers.


Coaching has been one of the best chapters in my life. To give back to the up-and-coming generation, what you have learned throughout your life in sports, is the best feeling in the world!


I am here to be a teacher, mentor, and roll model.


Fasten your seatbelts, West Seattle Reign is here to compete!

Jennifer Samek - Club President & Volleyball Coordinator

My name is Jennifer.  I was born and raised in West Seattle and am the founder of West Seattle Reign.  


I stared playing volleyball before I can remember and have been coaching locally for many years.  I created WSR because I felt there was a need in the West Seattle area for a competitive, collaborative and consistent volleyball club that could provide a supporting environment for all athletes in our community.


WSR is striving to create the sense of community in youth sports that many of us were lucky enough to be a part of as youth athletes.  WSR hopes to provide an environment in which our coaches, staff and families can teach our athletes to excel and grow, even if the match is not won.

Kenzie Boaz - Boys & Girls U16 Head Volleyball Coach

Hi there! My name is Taylor. I’m originally from Iowa, but found my way out to Seattle a couple years ago. The mountains were calling! 


I started playing volleyball in middle school as an outside hitter. I also played on a club team in high school and they were some of the best times of my life. I went on to play two years in college as a libero/defensive specialist. I’ve been playing in rec leagues ever since.


Learning, teaching, and playing the sport will always be one of my favorite things. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that fundamental skills are so important. I’ve also realized just how important team sports were in the development of my character.


I love how sports shaped me as a child/young adult and I can’t help but participate in that growth for the next generation! See you on the court!

Hey Team, my name is Fred Lisko. I grew up here in West Seattle playing sports through the YMCA and Rec leagues throughout the city.


Basketball became my passion in High School and I’ve kept the game with me since then. I’ve coached in California, Indiana and Indonesia as an assistant coach, head coach and shooting skills instructor.


My coaching philosophy is simple: Bring positive energy and get to the next play! Every opportunity is one to learn from. Whether we make a mistake or execute a skill perfectly we have another opportunity to get better in the next play.


I’m excited to execute what I have learned with the West Seattle Reign and continue to improve my coaching ability and implementation of game skills with the program!

My name is Carl and I am from Washington.


I started playing basketball at a young age and played constantly through high school and into adulthood.

Coaching is a passion of mine and gives me the opportunity to share my knowledge of the game.  My coaching philosophy centers on team play and instilling confidence in my athletes by teaching them to set goals and work toward accomplishing them.
