Monroe University-Bronx showcases the best of local volleyball talent
New York Amsterdam News
|September 25, 2025
In addition to coaching the women's volleyball team at Monroe University-Bronx, Odaly Aponte-Orta coaches high school (IN-Tech Academy) and club volleyball (Legacy Volleyball) in the Bronx, which gives her a bird's-eye view of the best talent in New York City.
This is especially valuable in assembling a highly competitive team, which is evident in the success the Express have had, including three straight district championships, including a Region 15 title in 2023.
"The key to everything is recruiting, finding the right kids," Aponte-Orta said. "Since I coach in high school, I'm able to recruit kids that play for me in high school and also other kids in the city that I'm exposed to. I currently have on my team, three kids who played with me in the club."
