Hannah Reynoso



Hannah was born and raised in the Bay Area where she started her volleyball career. She started playing at age 11 and pretty much never stopped. She started off as a setter at a young age but began to realize how much she loved defense. 


While attending Mills High School from 2014-2018 she won MVP, All-League First Team, and a Defensive Player of the Year award where she played both setter and libero. She went on to play at West Valley College as libero in 2018-2020 where she led her team in the most aces and digs as well as received All-Conference Honors. As a versatile athlete, Hannah played in the 3s pair on their beach volleyball team. Some highlights from that experience were going 9-1 in her first college level beach season as well as competing and winning against the D1 University of Nebraska beach team. 


After completing her general education there she transferred to San Jose State to focus on her education and gaining her undergraduate degree in Sports Rehabilitation. She started to miss playing at the collegiate level so she tried out and was offered a spot on the SJSU Club Team. While playing there, Hannah realized that she still wished to play high level volleyball so she reached out to a Division 2 in Carson, CA. At CSU Dominguez Hills she was able to play her last season of indoor volleyball. 


Hannah has had the opportunity to assist in coaching her high school's JV team as well as coaching a 12s team at Mountain View Volleyball Club. Her experience as a setter turned collegiate level libero pushes her to want to expand her athlete's skills to becoming some of the most knowledgable and valuable players. Nowadays she spends her time playing volleyball as often as she can whether it be in tournaments or playing co-ed beach with her friends. She is also looking forward to applying to PT school by studying and working alongside physical therapists in Sunnyvale.
