meet the coaches

---

Hi everyone! We are Alissa and Mike Stebbins and we are the masterminds behind Seaway Smash. We are family-oriented and want to relay that message within the club as much as we can! 

We are going on our 4th year as club directors with improving year after year to make club experiences the best we can!  

Our mission is to offer players in St. Lawrence County and surrounding areas an opportunity to play at a competitive level while developing skills, confidence, character, work ethic, friendships, and greater knowledge of the sport of volleyball through great coaching, tournament play, hard work, and team experiences. 

We have both been coaching for over 10 years. We have coached at the college, high school and club levels here in NY and GA. We currently coach at Potsdam High School. We are also the 18U and 17U coaches for Seaway Smash!  We look forward to meeting you! 

 “Coach Jim Lazore brings over a decade of club volleyball experience to our team. Playing and coaching since high school,(which has been years ago)he’s coached his sisters and more recently his daughters in various Ontario Volleyball Association tournaments. 

With a passion for the game and a commitment to developing young athletes, this past year, Jim has shared with multiple Seaway Smash teams keys to success through training techniques and a focus on teamwork. Jim remains dedicated to the sport and to the athletes in order to ensure that every player not only improves their skills but also builds a love for volleyball that lasts a lifetime.” 

This will be Jim’s second year with Seaway Smash Volleyball 

 Hello, my name is Daycee Bane. I am originally from Tennessee (you’ll notice the accent). I’m a Psycology Major, as a college athlete at Life Pacific University, in San Diego Californa. I’m transfering to continue my academic/athletic career at Suny Canton-Go Roos! I’ve played volleyball since the 6th grade. My main position has always been as a libero/DS. I played and started varsity all four years of HS. I was named All-Tournament Player and First Team-District during HS. I also played for Alliance Airborne Volleyball Club. Last summer I had the honor to represent “America’s Team” and be one of ten selected to go play volleball in Barcelona, Spain. I currently volunteer as an assistant coach for my old HS and JHS teams. I’ve always loved working with kids, teaching, and hard work. I’m looking forward to meeting everyone at Seaway Smash and having a great season
