Can I Play? is more than a volleyball story—it’s a must-read embraced by players, parents, and coaches alike. Through Keli’s journey of doubt, growth, and courage, readers don’t just follow her story—they find themselves in it. The story will stick with you long after the last page.

I wish I had this book years ago. It puts words to everything parents feel but rarely admit the pressure, confusion, frustration, and the fear of doing the wrong thing for our kids. The honesty is refreshing, sometimes uncomfortable, but exactly what parents need.

A real bonding experience. A team read gives players shared language beyond drills, opens honest conversations, builds accountability, and strengthens culture. Our team communicated better, trusted each other more, and took ownership—without adding another practice minute.
