Coaches
Dr. Kiersten Ellefsen-Olelewe, Silverback Assistant Director & Girls 18 Black Head Coach: After graduating from Tufts University, where I played for four years as an outside, middle, and opposite hitter and served as a team captain for one year, I moved to Denver to begin my career in education. I coached high school volleyball in Denver for six years and have coached club volleyball for four years. As a coach, I am tremendously passionate about helping student-athletes find a sustainable and fulfilling balance between their studies and involvement in their school and local communities, and building passion, community, and leadership on the court. I believe deeply in the goal of building well-rounded and versatile athletes who are able to see their volleyball skills as transferable to all aspects of their current and future lives and professions. In addition to coaching volleyball, I also currently serve as an Associate School Director for DSST Public Schools and recently earned my doctorate in educational leadership. Outside of volleyball, I enjoy hiking, cooking, reading, and spending time with my husband Ikenna, our toddler girl Nnenna, and our three dogs, Charlie, Ima, and Koda.


Aysia Carter 18 Black Girls Asst. Coach: : I am currently a psychology student at Regis University. While in high school I played club for two years as a setter. Currently, I am playing on the Regis University club team as a pin hitter. I have coached Varsity and club ball for two years. This year will be my fourth season coaching with Silverback. My coaching philosophy focuses on my love for helping players develop their all-around skills while honing their positional techniques. I am passionate about creating a safe space for all to feel welcome.
Coaches
Kelly Carter, Silverback Club Administrator. Kelly joined the Silverback Family back in 2021 when her daughter, now 18s Asst. Coach Aysia, came to one of our summer open gyms. Kelly has been helping us out here and there and is always eager to contribute to the Silverback mission. We are grateful to announce she has accepted the role of Club Administrator and is already hard at work researching new uniforms, travel arrangements, and FUNdraising ideas. Because of Kelly's efforts with fundraising last season Silverback, for the first time since 2020, had positive funds allowing us to have a more robust Summer season program.
I was born in California but raised in the Far Northeast area of Denver my whole life. I love Colorado and the many locations in the state that can be visited from Grand Junction to the Great Sand Dunes! I have spent many weeknights, weekends traveling with volleyball. I enjoy the game, and volleyball has truly been a central part of our family life. As a family we’ve always been involved in our daughters; journeys, from their early days in recreation leagues to the competitive scene. Balancing family life with all the work life commitments can be challenging but we make it work. I work fulltime and I’m also on the coaching staff for the DSST GVR High School volleyball program which I’m proud to assist both of my daughter’s. Coaching at the high school level can be incredibly rewarding, especially seeing young athletes grow and develop their skills and do things they never thought they could. I love spending time with my husband who is semi- retired and my daughters, Alyssa and Aysia. I enjoy doing some cooking, listening to music and watching movies with my family. I love to do photography as it allows me to just relax in my spare time.

Coaches
Anna Schneemann, Silverback Founder, Director: Anna founded Silverback in 2019 with our first season being in 2020. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization welcoming all families and offering an affordable competitive club option for all! Anna has been affiliated with Colorado Volleyball since 1995. She is a former DI recruit, outside hitter and setter, High School and Club Coach, and now our Club Director. A passionate leader who loves ball control/passing and one whose sole mission is to bring the sport she loves to everyone.
Outside of vball I keep myself busy loving and caring for my husband of 10 years, Adam, and our three children Oriana 7yrs (Artistic Autistic), Virgil 6yr (Gifted PDA Autistic), and 3yr Gabriel (Neurotypical). I'm passionate about being a mother and also enjoy doing genealogy. I have about 40+ succulents. I have worked as a veterinary receptionist for the past 10 years and love my job. I have 10+ tattoos all dedicated to myself or family members. I can't wait for the day Adam and I take a cruise around the world! My future goals include having all my first cousins meet each other for the first time and to start another non profit on my dream farm where I'll have a rescue dog senior care center for them to live out their days in peace. I live my life following the Platinum Rule, do unto others as they wish to be done onto.
