About Kaeley

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

My game style as Pure Heart, Hustle, Communicator, Purpose, Grit. I am a fast tempo jumpsetter who loves to hit so I utilize peripheral vision, attack on 1 or 2. I love to run various offensive plays with outside hitters including pipe. Most importantly I love to engage my middle with 1, slides and cross. I have complete trust in my teammates and if they miss, I would set them again!

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I am a practicing believer of mindset first and foremost as a skill and muscle to develop. As captain of my team it is importance that I connect with my teammates when I am able to sense they are spiraling or having a tough practice or match.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

2024 Acer Award @ Academy VB in RWC 2024 The Assist Award @ Academy VB RWC 2024 SLC Showdown Gold 2024 RRR Champs Gold 2024 Far Westerns Gold 2024 NCVA Regional Champions * 2025 SLC Showdown GOLD 2025 SCVA Regional Champions 2025 MVP Competitive Greatness @ Miz LB 2025 Lab Cornerstone Industriousness and Enthusiasm @ Miz LB 2025 Under Armour Next MVP @ UA MS Santa Ana

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Mindfulness Matters Finding the Good in Everything Championed Minded Attitude of Gratitude The Essential Wooden: A Lifetime of Lessons on Leadership Mindset is My Superpower Zero Limit Girls with Courtney Thompson in WA Developing A Winning Attitude and Mindset Volunteering: Mizuno MAC Academy Sundays Mizuno LOVB SCVC 2025 College Showcase

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

a significant challenge is teammates with jealously/envy. Despite being a supportive teammate, I am learning that others may not want to celebrate my success with me, sadly. But it’s okay, it’s having that awareness is important. My Goal is to be in the room where growth & discussions of dreams happens. I am grateful for Coach, Chris, JoshJoy, Tiff, Zanini, Shane, Mike & Patty D.

What type of college are you looking for?

Colleges that offer competitive women beach and indoor volleyball with supportive administrations, coaches and community members at large where I can continue to grow and be challenged and supported as a player. I am also greatly interested in colleges that may have sand volleyball as a secondary alternative for conditioning during off seasons. I love both indoor and beach volleyball.

For Kaeley “KJ” Johnston, the SoCal UpNext Showcase was as much about connection as competition. She was excited to invite and play alongside teammates and friends like Kassidy, Meilanie, Gail, and Violet, seeing the event as a chance to strengthen relationships that fuel her journey. She wanted to be remembered for the way she used her voice, explaining, “every touch deserves a conversation and communication kills confusion.” That mindset, paired with her upbeat energy, made her a steady presence who kept her team connected and confident throughout the day. Her performance earned her a MVP at the Showcase. ~ Michelle Bamford @Coachable247
