Seventy-five-year old Robbie Stuart is a lifelong athlete whose journey began before women’s sports were widely available. In high school, she jumped at any chance to play, joining the after-school Girls Athletic Association and diving into every sport offered through parks and recreation. With a mom who taught her tennis and a dad who taught her golf, Robbie built a love of movement that never faded. She played coed and adult women’s volleyball, eventually competing nationally in AAA tournaments and with legends like Olympian Patti Bright. At Long Beach State, she made Final Four appearances in collegiate volleyball and also competed in archery and fencing. Though she studied PE with hopes of coaching, her career flourished in parks and recreation, where she coached, supervised, and mentored for over 40 years. Now retired, Robbie still thrives in competition, playing golf twice a week and representing her club in Ryder Cup-style match play. Her favorite tournament, however, is at the Huntsman World Senior Games!
