Learn from some of the nation’s best coaches
There is no one “right” way to coach volleyball. This approach has led us to create world class in-person and virtual experiences designed to share different philosophies, coaching styles and training methods with one thing in mind—helping you become a better coach. With decades of experience at the college, club, high school and national team levels, our elite coaches are ready to share the ways they’ve found success—so you can find yours!

Created for coaches, by coaches
Our clinics and presenters provide a steady flow of good ideas to help you and your team perform better. Regardless if you’re a new coach or a seasoned veteran, we’re certain you’ll leave feeling more prepared and more confident than you came.
Court training from top coaches
Discover the training secrets they’ve developed over time, like how they run their practices, their favorite drills and how they interact with players.
Your questions, answered
Chat during breaks (in-person), or during dedicated Q&A sessions (virtual) with expert coaches for advice on your own teams.
On-demand video access
The video from every session is added to the website shortly after the clinic. You can watch it on demand for life!
Clinic handbook for note-taking
Attendees (in-person and virtual) receive a robust handbook of notes and drills prior to the clinic; perfect for use later in your own gym.
Choose how you attend
Join us in the gym for the immersive AOC in-person clinic experience or keep it simple by watching from home with a virtual ticket. Either way you’re going to finish the weekend a better coach than you started!
Attend in Person
Get a great view of court demonstrations, face-to-face access to the coaches to ask questions, a printed handbook for notes, the chance to take home prizes and a community of peer coaches. It doesn’t get much more exciting than picking the brains of some of the best minds in volleyball in person!
Attend Online
To save money (no travel and cheaper tickets), our virtual clinics allow you to watch on demand when it suits your schedule. Plus, it gives you the ability to choose the sessions that most interest you and attend multiple clinics if there are coaches you’d like to learn from are presenting in different cities!

What level of coach should attend?
Coaches of all levels will benefit from the wide range of information covered at the clinic. From skill fundamentals and drill ideas to mental training and game strategies, this clinic will give you an in-depth look at training techniques and teaching methods that some of the top coaches in the country use with their own teams. Whether you’re a beginning coach, an experienced professional or somewhere in between, you’ll walk away with new ideas and methods you can implement in your gym immediately.
What are the benefits of attending in person?
The best possible viewing and learning experience will happen in person at the gym. Attending the clinic in person will give you a great overall experience with a clear view of everything happening on the court, exclusive access to the clinicians to ask questions face-to-face, a printed handbook for notes, the chance to take home prizes, networking opportunities with other local coaches and much more. There’s nothing quite like the experience of pulling one of the best volleyball coaches in the country aside and chatting with them about your own team!
What are the benefits of attending virtually?
Although the best possible viewing experience will happen in person at the gym, we understand that there are many reasons you may not want to travel to a clinic. Besides getting to watch from the comfort of your own home (in pjs … on the couch … near the fridge!), there are many benefits to attending an AOC clinic virtually, including:
- Save money with cheaper tickets and no travel and hotel
- Watch the clinic live or on demand if your schedule doesn’t allow for live viewing
- Watch only the topics that appeal to you if you’re not interested in a certain session
- Ask the clinicians questions in a dedicated Q&A session for virtual attendees
- Receive a printable handbook PDF for note-taking during the clinic
- Receive professional development hours for participating
- Easily attend multiple clinics
What does a virtual ticket include?
Purchasing a virtual ticket gives you access to a lot of the same things you would get at the clinic if you attended in-person, including:
- Access to the live clinic stream
- The opportunity to ask the clinicians questions and get them answered in a virtual Q&A
- A printable handbook PDF full of drills and notes from the clinicians
- A certificate showing time spent at the clinic that can be submitted for continuing education hours
- The ability to watch the clinic on demand for life
- Access to discounts on gear and tools from AOC and its partners
What should I bring to an in-person clinic?
- Your ID for check-in (no ticket needed)
- A pen / pencil / highlighter
- Clothing that is comfortable for sitting in (no court activity required)
- A water bottle that you can refill and snacks as desired
- Cash / Check / Credit Card
- An extra sweater, seat cushion, blanket, etc. if you would like some extra padding to sit on
Will Premium members get free access to the clinic on demand?
No, Premium members will not be able to access the footage from the clinic unless they’ve purchased access. By purchasing a clinic ticket, you get to watch the event live and also get access to watch it on demand for life. Premium members receive a 10% discount off all clinic options – in-person tickets, virtual tickets and on-demand clinics.
Are there any discounts available for clinic tickets?
AOC Premium members automatically receive a 10% discount on both in-person and virtual clinic tickets. Just make sure you’re signed into your Premium account when purchasing.
Early bird pricing is in effect until February 28, 2025. You’ll automatically save 10% on tickets until then!
You can save an additional 10-15% on in-person tickets if you attend with a group. Savings will vary based on the number of coaches in your group.
Where can I find a receipt showing what I paid?
When you purchase a clinic ticket, a receipt will be emailed to you stating the amount paid. If you purchased a virtual ticket, you can sign in to your account and go here to view all of your past store purchases. If you cannot access your receipt either of these ways, please reach out to volleyball@theartofcoaching.com for assistance.
What is the refund policy?
In-person ticket refund policy: You can receive a 90% refund of your in-person ticket up until 48 hours before the day of the clinic. After the 48-hour mark, no refunds will be available. For example, if the clinic begins on April 4, you can request a refund up until the end of the day on April 1.
Virtual ticket refund policy: You can receive a full refund of your virtual ticket up until 24 hours before the day of the clinic. Refund requests after the 24 hour mark will not be granted.
