Madison Pursley

Madison started playing volleyball her freshman year of high school. As a former player at North Oldham, she was named 8th Region Player of the Year and helped her team reach the state semifinals in 2011 and the quarterfinals in 2021. Madison remains a top-5 record holder for career kills as a middle in North Oldham Volleyball history. She went on to play at Bellarmine University, where she ranked in the top 3 for kills during her year. Her club volleyball journey includes playing for KIVA and Union.

Madison began her coaching career at MAVA in 2022, serving as an assistant coach for 17 Blue and continuing with the program for two seasons. She also joined North Oldham Volleyball as an assistant coach under Brian Jones, helping the team to another state appearance. As the head freshman coach, Madison guided her team to a remarkable record, losing only three games in her debut season.

When she’s not coaching, Madison runs a successful consulting business, enjoys playing volleyball, traveling, and spending quality time with her husband and their dog Weller.

This is Madison’s first year helping Kelly coach 17 elite and she couldn’t be more excited. Her favorite thing about coaching is watching the girls improve throughout the season and watching their leadership build on and off the court.
