My name is Lil Puckett.  This is my 25th year coaching volleyball.  I started coaching volleyball because of my daughter.  Her passion was contagious and we grew even closer because of this sport.  I have 3 kids who are now 36, 33 (girls)  and 25 (boy).  I grew up playing and coaching softball, but once I was introduced to volleyball, I got hooked!  Coaching volleyball quickly became my safe place.

I want to share my passion for volleyball with every boy & girl!  My teams become a part of my family.  Coaching volleyball truly changed my life.  

I have very high expectations for each player.  They give 100% during every practice and tournament, they trust me and trust each other.  Inclusion and team harmony is encouraged throughout the season.  I push my players to become better volleyball players and respectable young adults.  I believe I am a teacher and an exceptional motivator.  I have watched players grow as great athletes molded into amazing young adults.    

I'm very excited for the future here at CHS!  The coaches, players, and parents of our CHS family will support to ensure the success of the boys program. 

Coach Mo Qadwri is from St. Louis Missouri and grew up in the south county area. He grew up in the Affton area where he played both Soccer and Volleyball in high school from 2014-2018. His passion for Volleyball grew his Senior year playing where he set a blocking record for his old High School.

After high school, Coach Mo then attended Maryville University in 2018 where he received his Bachelor's degree in Exercise Science in spring of 2022. His certifications include NASM-CPT, CSNC & CES. This is his second year coaching volleyball in his career. His goal as Head JV coach is to develop all athletes within strength and condition in order to be successful players.

Coach Mo wants the team to grow with the sport of volleyball and most importantly proudly represent their school as a first year program. He wants to challenge every athlete to bring out their maximum performance skills to be remarkable players in all aspects of competition.

Using his experience, coach Mo is big on educating all athletes. He applies all aspects of strength and conditioning, stretching and form which helps minimize risk of injury. He intends to use his techniques to boost performance within the volleyball program. Coach Mo is looking forward to this new journey for Clayton High School as the OG Volleyball team.
