FioRito is helping build a foundation for Valparaiso’s young boys volleyball program.
Senior outside hitter Nick FioRito has emerged as one of the leaders for Valparaiso’s developing boys volleyball program. Nick FioRito is listed as an outside hitter on Valparaiso’s roster, but that’s not the only position he’s handling.“This sport is awesome,” FioRito said. “I love the culture. I love everything about it. I just want to bring that culture here, and being able to share that with my teammates has been such a good experience.
Valparaiso coach Katie Lenard, who also leads the girls volleyball program, said there are no weaknesses in FioRito’s game. “When I first started playing club, I just knew that this was the sport I wanted to play,” he said. “I have a passion for it that’s unlike any of the other sports I played.” “I was excited,” FioRito said. “I’d been asking about a boys team since my freshman year once I found out she was the coach.”
Lenard said she wishes the boys program had started earlier for the sake of players like FioRito but added that he’s making up for the lost time by pointing his younger, less experienced teammates in the right direction at every turn.
