Christian Navarro grew up in South Central LA and has played volleyball since my start in high school in 2013 and been coaching for about 2 years. When I am not coaching or working I am a student at Long Beach State University. Volleyball has always been a huge part of my family’s culture and an even bigger passion of mine. I believe volleyball is not only a sport that keeps us physically active but a sport that teaches teamwork, mental toughness, and perseverance.
