John – thank you for your dedication to so many young volleyball players and to FPS families. Your commitment is a shining light for so many you have touched with your efforts.

John Kovatch…You have always been a guiding light for the girls that you have coached. I got to know you when Kaitlyn was in 3rd grade and we started doing volleyball clinics together. Now she is about to graduate 8th grade and you have stayed true in using your coaching platform to help young families who are fighting cancer. I will always be grateful for taking the step to reach out to Helena’s Volleyball while I was coaching at SPN. As we coached together, you have been an inspiration and made me a better person just by knowing you and your family. Thank you for all your dedication in helping the girls learn the sport of volleyball, while also, keeping them focused on life’s bigger picture through your affiliation with For Pete’s Sake. God Bless and best of luck in your next chapter!

John – Thanks for your enthusiasm and tireless efforts, not only to the SHS and TNT girls’ volleyball programs and teaching them the S.W.E.A.T. principles important to Catholic youth athletics, but also being a beacon of light in your volunteer actions and commitment to help many people through For Pete’s Sake.

John, thank you for your dedication to the SHS Girls’ Volleyball program. Aly really learned a lot from you during the summer practices that you held with Sue last year along with the preseason SHS practice sessions. It was Aly’s first year and you really made her feel welcomed! You seem to have a wonderful talent of bringing out the best in all who meet you and we are fortunate to be in that group! Wishing you the best as you move on to your next venture! Thank you again for all you do!
