Kathy Lietzke played club volleyball for Houston juniors and played high School volleyball at Katy High where they were State semi-finalists her junior year. Kathy was selected to the All-State, Academic All-State and All-Star teams her senior year. She went on to play collegiately at the University of Virginia for two years and then she transferred to the College of William and Mary where she completed her eligibility and was named Second Team All-Conference.
After graduating from W&M in 1995, Kathy came to the University of Texas at Austin to get her Master's Degree in Sports Administration. She also served as the volunteer assistant at the University of Texas at Austin and in 1995 the Longhorns finished 2nd at the NCAA Tournament. Kathy went to Chapel Hill, North Carolina to serve as the first assistant and recruiting coordinator at the University of North Carolina. However, her passion is helping high-school aged athletes find the right home to continue their volleyball careers and so she came back to Austin to work full-time for Austin Junior Volleyball.

She has been with Austin Junior Volleyball full-time since 1998. In that time, she has coached 18 teams at the Junior National Championships and also coached 17 Navy to a 3rd place finish at the AAU Championships in 2002. Kathy serves as the Finance Director for AJV and also assists AJV athletes in the recruiting process.
In 2000, Kathy married Glen Lietzke and together they have two children, Nathan and Lauren. Nathan currently plays volleyball at Stanford University and Lauren plays volleyball at Marist College.
