Q: When did you first start playing volleyball?

A: We [Kezlyn and Kyah] started playing when we were really little, like you start with the kids programs and work all the way up to here… When you’re a little kid, you just get to play with the older kids who are on varsity, and you just always looked up to them, so starting at a young age and looking up to them really helped.

the world, where would you want to go?
