"Oh my god I never sweat that much in my high school or club practices"

"I never work this hard in practice."

My face is so red I can't believe it. This never happens!



Whenever I get new clients these are just a few examples of the most common responses I get after the first or second practice with me when they try to describe my volleyball coaching style. 

It never fails. 

I do things differently when it comes to my private coaching style and I may (or may not) be a good fit for your player so lets look at what I do in practice and why.


Drills are the secret or not-so-secret ingredient to making practices and players better.

The opportunity to do 1000 reps of a drill at every opportunity possible, is what it takes to make your varsity team, your club team, your collegiate team.


Use these volleyball drills for hitting to improve your attacking power which begins with a strong three step or four step spike approach.

The Private Volleyball Coaching Drills We Do

That's what drills are all about, progress and improvement.

The first time you do a drill it might not feel or look so good. But each time after that, as long as you can see you are making progress you can feel the improvement, then you're on the right road. 

The drills I do ..I like to do at higher speeds so we get more done in a short amount of time. Many of these drills I teach my clients so they can do them at home as well. 


Private Volleyball Coaching Goals I Have For My Private Clients: 1000 Reps/Hour


I specifically aim to do a minimum of 800 reps and a max of 1000 reps in one hour and that's why I've perfected the skill of talking when the player is working (as opposed to talking and the player stands in place, cold and not doing anything but just listening). 

Do you know how much more work we get done because of this? 

Every minute is valuable and I believe each minute should be used towards making every body part better at controlling the ball and knowing where to be on the court. 


In my private volleyball coaching sessions I believe in working smart and working very hard so players move faster, shag their balls and run not walk everywhere on the court.  


In My Private Volleyball Lessons We Run Not Walk


There are more volleyball clubs in Vegas and when we develop more 13, 14 and 15 year old players who're athletic and who can jump higher, hit harder, run faster and who are fearless when it comes to playing in highly competitive environments...that's when we will get more Vegas players competing in the higher divisions in national qualifier tournaments like Open division. 

The 13-15 year old players around the country playing in Open division are not in practice looking at Mommy and Daddy while playing and learning to solve problems that develop when on the court while trying to figure out the best way to score the next point and they don't ask the coach an excessive amount of questions. 

One reason my volleyball coaching style in Vegas is unusual is because my clients' parents aren't on the court watching our lessons.

They can watch on closed circuit TV in the lobby or wait in the lounge waiting room at Its All Volleyball but I don't have them seated near the court watching nor "helping" to shag while we are doing drills.

Shagging balls is a drill that my player clients do as a part of practice. That's another aspect of my volleyball coaching style that differs from most coaches in Vegas. 

With so many more volleyball clubs in Vegas, the competition for younger, confident, self aware and fearless point producing players has grown and it will continue to grow. 

Continue scrolling down to read and research my style of volleyball coaching which I do in order to continue producing these types of DI and DII players that college coaches want to recruit and have on their teams.
