Her coaching philosophy: I am a firm believe that if you have knowledge pass it on to those who do not. I also believe that playing sports as a child not only builds character and confidence but also gives a sense of accomplishment. Not everyone is a winner every time. We have to lose some to gain some, and if we gain something from every opportunity then we are winning. Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile-Vince Lombardi.

Torrie Rourke joined the RVC coaching staff in 2018. She has coached junior high, high school, USAV junior club and adult club teams. She grew up in a small town in Arizona. She still remembers playing volleyball for the first time when she was in fourth grade. Right then and there she knew how much she would love the game. Growing up she had four sisters who shared the love of the game. She always wanted to push herself to be as competitive of a player as they were. Playing sports in a small town had many benefits. Everyone wanted to see you do your best. Her family and tight knit community always supported, as well as, pushed her to go above and beyond. Volleyball taught her hard work, hustle, teamwork, responsibility, accountability, and above all love for the game. She has always been a utility player, playing libero freshman year, middle sophomore year, outside the last two years in high school, and setter during club. Although she did not choose to further her athletic career into college, she still loves the game and plays competitively in adult leagues in Tucson. While coaching she plans on passing my knowledge to each and every player. She strives to bring out each individual’s potential to show them that they are always capable of more. No matter what stands in their way, they can always overcome an obstacle. Most importantly, she wants the athletes to have fun, individually and as a team. She wants them to make life-long friends and take home memories.
