  • Coaching Philosophy
    • To Develop individual and team Volleyball skills so that every player would be prepared to play in college (scholarship, walk-on, club). Technique and Strategy are taught at a level that will prepare them to play at the college level. Our club takes players from a variety of High Schools and Middle Schools and is not focused on developing a particular High School team.
    • To Maximize the amount of Playing time and Volleyball Experience for the team. We will play in a division that gives us a good chance to get into the playoffs each tournament.
    • To clearly communicate with players about playing time. During pool play, all get to play (not necessarily equally). If we make it to playoffs, we play the best team. For some tournaments (Regionals and last day of multi-day tournaments), we play the best players needed to win.
    • To work on individual goals. I want each player to become a better player. Near the beginning of the season, I set individual goals with each player and work with them to meet their goals and objectives.
