As a Casper native with a lifelong passion for volleyball, I am beyond excited to coach and inspire the next generation of athletes.

My approach to coaching emphasizes not just technical skills, but also teamwork, dedication, and sportsmanship.
When I’m not coaching, you can often find me exploring new places or trying out different hobbies. I believe that staying curious and open to new experiences helps me connect with athletes and bring fresh energy to the court.

My name is Jill Vance and I am currently a 6th grade teacher at Centennial Middle School. I am currently in my 21st year of teaching. I have three girls who are the ages of 18, 15 and 12. My life has consisted of and revolved around sports. I played volleyball, basketball and track at NCHS and went on to play two years of basketball at Casper College. After completing my career at Casper College, I went on to finish my education degree at Black Hills State University.
Throughout my career as a coach, I have coached many volleyball, basketball and track teams ranging in ages from 3rd grade to 8th grade. As our Casper community embarks on this amazing new adventure through the Wyoming Sports Ranch, it is my hope to make a difference in the lives of many young athletes as I can. I believe that sports are a positive pathway for children to learn and grow into successful individuals. There are many aspects of sports that will help children learn to navigate life and overcome challenges as they grow. My goal this year is to help my players with the foundations of volleyball and grow their skills to reach max potential. I will create an environment that is both fun and challenging for all the girls on the team.
