Volleyball with Suzanne Hebert

Week of August 22, 2026

Born and raised in New England with deep Massachusetts roots, Suzanne Hebert has called Los Angeles home for the last 19 years—but her love for volleyball has been a constant since she first picked up a ball in Bellingham, MA at age fifteen. Her natural talent caught fire through years of competitive play, capturing the attention of Junior Olympic recruiters during her high school career. She went on to play Division I volleyball at the University of Rhode Island, thrilling her home-state crowd at the NCAA Final Four. 

Now in her fifth year presenting at Rancho La Puerta, Suzanne has mastered the art of making volleyball accessible, energizing, and genuinely fun for everyone—whether you’ve never touched a ball, haven’t played in decades, or are a seasoned regular. Her approach is encouraging, adaptive, and community-focused, ensuring every guest leaves feeling accomplished and maybe a little surprised by what they can do. Plus, it’s an incredible full-body workout disguised as play. 

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an MSW from Simmons University and a Doctorate in Business Management and Organizational Leadership, Suzanne has a thriving private practice in both in-person and teletherapy and as a Mental Health Consultant for large organizations. She brings the same patience, humor, and insight to the court that she does to her work helping people navigate life’s challenges. She knows how to meet you where you are, build your confidence, and make the journey enjoyable. 

Join Suzanne in the water or on the sand and discover what guests return for year after year: a class where you’ll learn, laugh, connect—and walk away genuinely proud of yourself.
