Natalie Hasson began her volleyball journey in Florida at just 9 years old. As the daughter of an Air Force officer, she had the unique opportunity to compete in club volleyball across Florida, Hawaii, Virginia, and Arizona. In 2014, while playing for Aspire Volleyball Club in Arizona, her team earned a 2nd-place finish in the 15 Open Division at the USAV Junior National Championship in Minneapolis, MN.

After a career-ending injury, Natalie transitioned from player to coach, driven by her enduring passion for the sport. While attending Northern Arizona University, she coached the 15-1’s team for Northern Arizona Juniors Volleyball Club. Upon graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminology and Criminal Justice, she relocated to San Diego to pursue her love of coaching, the beach, and a future in law.

Natalie currently coaches at Point Loma High School and is deeply committed to helping athletes grow both on and off the court. Her coaching philosophy centers around not only developing stronger, more skilled athletes but also shaping confident, respectful, and resilient young men and women. She believes in using volleyball as a vehicle for teaching life lessons, building character, and fostering leadership.

When she’s not coaching, Natalie works as a legal secretary. In her free time, you’ll find her at the beach, watching baseball, discovering the best gluten-free eats, and spending time with her dog, Maverick.
