Coaches: Amber Knapp and Carly Chouteau

My name is Amber Knapp and I am originally from Lohrville, Iowa and I currently am a teacher for the Des Moines Public School District. I began my volleyball career when I was in 5th grade playing AAU volleyball and I have been playing ever since. I attended Southern Cal High School, where I played varsity my sophomore-senior years and started as an Outside Hitter my junior and senior years of high school. We made it to the regional semi-finalists all three years and received many awards during my high school career, such as all-conference, all-district, and all-state honors. After high school, I went on to play collegic club volleyball at Iowa State for 4 years, where we played in tournaments around the United States and also attended Nationals every year. After college I have continued to play volleyball for a competitive league in West Des Moines during the fall and early winter months, as well as playing sand volleyball during the summer. My desire, love, passion, for the game now pursues me to take my knowledge of the game and teach it to others. I am looking forward to my first year coaching for Iowa Heart Volleyball!!
