  • Danielle Scott Danielle Scott Danielle Racquel Scott Is a Native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana
    The AVCA History Commission was formed as a subgroup to the AVCA Diversity Development Team on December 1, 2020. The History Commission’s purpose is to recognize, amplify, and celebrate the rich and diverse history of the sport of volleyball. The first phase of the Commission’s work will explore the contributions of Black Americans to the sport of volleyball. Phase 1 is timed to coincide with the 40th Anniversary of the founding of the American Volleyball Coaches Association. PHASe 1 | Vol. 1.20 Danielle Scott Danielle Scott Danielle Racquel Scott is a native of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. From a young age her values were centered around faith, family, and friends. Running around the neighborhood, skating, playing board games with relatives and friends were common in her elementary years. She enjoyed singing in the church choir and continues to enjoy music and singing to this day. Scott adds, “Those elementary years were a blast. And being so active from my younger years probably helped lead to getting into sports.” At Kennilworth Middle School, Danielle became active in after school activities and sports, becoming a team manager with the hope of also learning and practicing when given the opportunity. As an eighth grader she got involved with the softball team and was named the most improved player. That would be the beginning of a journey filled with accolades and accomplishments that continues to this day. From middle school, Danielle would spend one year at Baton Rouge High School before moving on to Woodlawn High School. It did not take long for volleyball, basketball, and softball coach Bonnie Hunter to take notice of the 6’2” Scott.
