We are excited to announce the addition of McKenzie Tuyo to our Pirate Family! McKenzie shared the following: "Passionate, driven, and dedicated to building strong athletes on and off the court, I bring a love for the game and a heart for coaching. I played all four years on varsity at Lorena High School and continued my volleyball journey at Henderson State University. For the past two years, I’ve had the incredible opportunity to coach high school volleyball at Lake Belton High School, and I’ve been coaching club volleyball for the last four years at Texas Legends. What truly fuels me is the chance to help young female athletes grow—not just as players, but as confident, empowered individuals. I’m committed to creating a positive, supportive environment where athletes feel welcomed, encouraged, and excited to show up every day. Coaching is more than a job—it’s my passion and my purpose."
During her free time, McKenzie enjoys hanging out with her dog, Blaze! She also enjoys going to concerts with her friends and family. Welcome to Crawford!
