Attendees of this clinic are saying:
“This was phenomenal! The information shared was high level and the coaches were so open and approachable!”
“I loved it! As my first time attending a coaches clinic, this was like a dream come true experience for me. Everyone and everything was great. I hope to bring my coaching staff to one of these in the future.”
“An incredibly beneficial experience. The time to ask questions that specifically are tailored to our needs was so important.”
“I really enjoyed at the different view points that each coach had on the same area. I found it valuable to know that it is okay to change what might not be working.”
“It was FABULOUS! I can’t wait to sign up next year. Loved the pace and the amount of information. Was surprised by the opportunity to watch a scrimmage on Saturday night!”
“Presenters were great! Marie and Mike were so knowledgeable. Loved hearing from Marie about soft blocking.”
“Amazing experience. I’m walking away with confidence to coach at a higher level and with the drills and skills to improve athlete development.”
“I chose this clinic because of the variety of coaches and coaching during the clinic. Everyone was so personable and willing to talk with the coaches to bounce ideas off of. These presenters truly want you to love the game and succeed in your own programs. This clinic has made me more confident as a coach.”
“I really enjoyed all the sessions that I attended. I look forward to passing along what I learned to my fellow coaches!”
“Amazing conference – runs efficiently, on time, great lengths of sessions to keep attention span.”
“I really loved that the coaches worked together on may of the sessions, bouncing ideas off of each other.
“Great clinic, exceeded my expectations.”
“I was excited and inspired coming out of the clinic. Overall, I came out with lots of new drills ideas to give my players more touches.”
“This was excellent. I learned a lot of new tactics, drills, practice strategies. I also was reaffirmed in what I know and what to still teach. That is particularly helpful given all the noise in social media.”
“I really liked that I didn’t feel stressed and overwhelmed after leaving! Just more confident in my skills!”
“I loved the realness of the clinic. All of the coaches were relatable and gave very good feedback to questions etc.”

“I really like coming to these clinics. Very well organized and great speakers.”
“Lots of great drills, planning, how to maximize gym time, how to connect with and maximize talent and the list goes on. Skill and drill work in all areas of the game as well as how to lead a program on and off the court.”
“There was SO MUCH great information that I will be able to use with confidence! Prior to the clinic I would second guess some things because of parents or other coaches with more experience. This clinic reinforced for me that there is not one specific way to teach volleyball skills, you need to be able to adjust to the players strengths.”
“Loved the balance of coaching “gold nuggets” and the large number of drill examples that were thoroughly explained. I also loved the “flexible” mind set of the coaching staff – that not everything is set in stone and that you must do what is best for your team. Gives me confidence in my decision-making abilities.”
“The length of sessions was great, I think if they were longer, then I would have lost focus but I was fully engaged the entire time. I also liked when coaches made corrections to players who made a mistake so we can see that coaching too (not all coaches did this, but I think that helped me pick up on some cues that I can use with my team).”
“My club director invited me to come, but after attending, I would love to come back. This is the first coaching clinic I have been to, but I was very impressed. I loved the clinic handbook, that was a huge perk for me. I also love all the books that were on sale, we got a couple for our program. The giveaways were also fun! While I don’t have other clinics to compare to, this had definitely set the bar very high.”
“Loved all of the drill resources and ways to modify for all levels. Overall very good and thankful for the resources/knowledge I am leaving with.”
