Tana Croft

Coach Croft is entering her seventh season as Tumwater’s Head Coach.  She has done an outstanding job heading and building this volleyball program with her knowledge and experience.  Being a T-Bird alumni has proven to be extra special for Coach Croft.  She has led the Lady T-Birds to four straight State appearances with two “Final 4” finishes respectfully and in 2008 took the State Championship.   Under Croft’s leadership, eight of her past players have moved on to the collegiate level.  Croft’s tremendous knowledge of the game, positive leadership, and team building skills has fortified the T-Bird’s overall volleyball program.   Croft has been named League Coach of the Year four times and also named All-State Coach of the Year. 

She has surrounded herself with an experienced coaching staff as well.  Sidney Reid is her varsity assistant; Kaci Biggs is the junior varsity coach, and Shari Mertens is the C team coach.
