Attendees of this clinic are saying:
“I loved everything about the clinic. It was well organized, well run, and all the presenters were engaging, excited about their information, and willing to answer all questions.”
“This is my first experience in person at a clinic and loved it. The sessions were short and keep you engaged but cover the material well. Love that it was not overloaded with stats that do not apply to most coaches. Will attend again!”
“I learned a ton. New techniques, ways of explaining to my teams. I especially enjoyed having all of the coaches give their favorite drills and coaching pointers. This has given me excitement for starting a new season and prepared me for success as a coach.”
“This experience was amazing! In all my years of coaching and going to different clinics and hearing people speak, this was by far the most influential in how I want to best serve my athletes and program, while representing my school. AOC gave me the tools I needed to have a sharper edge against the competition and for both me and my team to ultimately be more successful on and off the court! I can’t thank you enough!”
“As a newer coach, I thought it was great. I appreciated the small details and bigger picture things all together and loved having demonstrations for drills!”
“Loved being able to hear different perspectives from different coaches and how to implement what I learned into my own coaching style.”
“I love the fact that the drills shown had a progression so they related to all ages in most of the sessions.”
“Amazing. Allowed my staff to bond as well as talk about the game and my vision for the program in a more relaxed setting.”
“In my opinion it’s a great clinic. Better than GMS”
“I have been to MANY of the AOC clinics and the diversity of perspectives from different levels of coaches is probably my most favorite aspect. I like that the coaches that are typically present do not have the exact same presentation at every clinic. I like that ALL skills are covered. Keep bringing in the high school and club coaches!!!”
“I thought it was fantastic! I appreciated that the coaches related it to small schools too.”
“Loved the interactive nature of court sessions & variety of coaching styles”
“AOC provides discussion and thought that aren’t confined to a box. There were conflicting philosophies about serving, among other things that were communicated by different coaches. I loved that because it shows that there can be different schools of thought on x skill from different successful programs and there’s no wrong answer. It allows more flexibility with your personnel and be able to fit what applies to your program.”
“Loved it – absolutely incredible experience!”
“I love how AOC creates opportunities for us to learn for our specific level of volleyball. Even though most of the presenters are college coaches, they made sure to present their information in a way that we can actually use at lower levels.”
