We've heard nothing but great things about this young lady by many in the volleyball community. We can attest first hand that she is an explosive player with solid all around skill sets. She is very quick and can be an asset all around the court. We recently cought up with Lucy and asked her a few questions about volleyball and her future in the sport.
SFVR: Tell us something that not everyone knows about you.
PEREZ: I am fun, athletic and funny. My background is Lebanese and Cuban. By looking at me you would find it hard to believe that I do not speak Spanish fluently. I love Volleyball with a passion and I am determined to play it in college.
SFVR: What do you do to stay so fit?
PEREZ: In addition to all the Volleyball, I jog regularly. I also enjoy swimming, flag football and acting.
SFVR: Why do you want to play Volleyball collegiately?
PEREZ: I have been playing volleyball for about six years now (school & club) and I am in love with the sport. I am not ready to give up playing it competitively just yet.
SFVR: Are you aware that playing for a University is like a full time job?
PEREZ: Absolutely - I'm excited to see how good I can become at the next level. I will work, work, work to become the best I can become.
SFVR: What does the word coachable mean to you?
PEREZ: It defines a player who is a good listener and always is willing to learn more from a coach, because every player has room for improvement.
SFVR: Have you registered with the NCAA Clearinghouse?
PEREZ: YES!

Coaches Comments:
Charlene Ball-Lovera, Head Coach Sunset High-School: Lucy is a very hard worker that has excelled every year that she has been on the team. She is usually early to practice and stays after practice to perfect her craft. She is a very explosive outside hitter with endless energy and potential. As a former Div I player I know she has what it takes to excel at the next level and I sincerely recommend Lucy Perez as an elite player that has yet to reach her potential.
Joy Beverly, Head Coach Spike Volleyball Club and Arvida Middle, "One word comes to mind when I think of Lucy Perez - strong. By age 13 Lucy was probably the biggest, strongest player in the county. When she went up to hit, the other players had no chance of stopping her. She just continued to get stronger in high school and became a leader on and off the court. As strong as she is now, I'd love to see how far she can go. I think she has the physical potential and the inner drive to be successful at the highest level."
Experience:
She has been playing competitively since 7th Grade.
