Take A Coach April Volleyball Lesson: Train with a Champion in Vegas

Las Vegas volleyball lessons with proven results. Coach April's personalized training helped her 18s team win gold - now let her elevate your game.


  • Are you frustrated with the type of generic volleyball lesson that doesn't address your specific needs?
  • Do you feel like your current training isn't getting you closer to your goals?

Trust me, I understand.





As a player, I really wanted that kind of coaching.

Starting volleyball as a sophomore at St. Bernard's High School, I was a late bloomer, the only Black girl on a team of beach-raised players.

I fell in love with the sport instantly, but I had a lot of catching up to do.

Luckily, my coach, former pro beach volleyball player Chris Rundle, saw my potential and invested extra time in me, even though I didn't look like anyone else on the team.

But practice wasn't enough. I was driven.

I set three big goals for myself:

I didn't have a plan and I didn't know how I was going to do all this ..I just put this in the universe and decided to take one step at a time. 

So, I'd come home from practice, finish my homework, and head back outside to our backyard.

Under the dim glow of the floodlights, I'd pepper against our redwood garage door for hours - setting, passing, hitting, over and over and over.

It wasn't glamorous, but it worked.

Those late nights taught me the power of dedicated practice, personalized training, and setting ambitious goals.

I didn't know it then, but I was developing the same mental toughness and work ethic that would eventually help me achieve all three of my volleyball dreams.


And just this past weekend, my Vegas Volley 18s team experienced that same kind of breakthrough, winning our club's first-ever gold medal at the In It To Win It Tournament.

We weren't the biggest or most experienced team, but we were the most *determined*.

We fought our way back from deficits, made clutch plays when it mattered most, and proved that hard work, combined with smart strategy, can overcome any obstacle.

As a coach, I bring that same champion mindset to every private volleyball lesson. 

Whether you're aiming for a college scholarship, a starting spot on varsity, or simply want to improve your skills, I'll help you develop the techniques, strategies, and mental toughness to reach *your* full potential.

Just like my mentors Mary Jo Peppler and Gary Sato guided me, I'll break down each skill, explaining not just *what* to do, but *why*.

I'll show you the exact drills and personalized training that helped me transition from a late-starting high school player to a professional athlete in Italy - the same techniques that led my Vegas Volley team to a historic victory this weekend.



This past weekend, I coached my Vegas Volley 18s team made history, winning the gold medal at the three-day In It To Win It Tournament held at the Rio  Convention Center.



This was our club's first-ever gold medal and tournament championship since they were founded by club director Adam Bromberg.

We weren't the tallest or most physically imposing team, but with elite coaching strategies we outplayed our opponents with

  • smart offensive plays, 
  • very strong serving while following my serving placement calls,
  • consistent defense 
  • and the mental toughness 

we've been developing and focusing on since January of this year.

This victory wasn't just about talent; it was about preparation, teamwork, and the belief that we could achieve something special even when we faced adversity and had to overcome some obstacles.

As a coach, I bring that same championship (and college prep) mindset to every private volleyball lesson.

Whether you're aiming for a college scholarship, a starting spot on varsity, or simply want to improve your skills, I'll help you develop the techniques, strategies, and mental toughness to reach your full potential.

I'll break down each skill, just like my mentors Mary Jo Peppler and Gary Sato did for me when I was a young player, explaining not just *what* to do, but *why* - the same approach that helped me transition from basketball to volleyball and eventually play professionally in Italy.

Just like I guided my youngest players on the starting team Myla (17), Layla (16), and Abby (16) to make key plays in the championship match, I'll give you the personalized attention and strategic guidance you need to excel. 

Just like I needed personalized guidance to reach my goals, I know today's players thrive when their training is tailored to their individual needs.

That's why my volleyball lesson with you will go beyond generic drills and focus on specific weaknesses in each volleyball skill until they become your strengths...


Pro-Style Volleyball Lesson and Training: What to Expect


Why consider taking a private volleyball lesson with me?

Because when it comes to advanced volleyball training in Las Vegas, my background sets me apart.

As a University of Tennessee Knoxville Hall of Fame inductee and former American Volleyball Coaches Association columnist, I've not only played at the highest levels but also coached coaches for three years through my regular contributing articles.



My approach to volleyball training combines college-prep techniques with personalized attention to help you reach your full potential.

Whether you're an aspiring professional or a competitive player looking to elevate your game, my advanced volleyball lessons in Las Vegas are designed to challenge and inspire you.



Pro-Style Volleyball Lesson and Training: What to Expect


My approach for each volleyball lesson goes beyond the basics. I focus on advanced techniques and strategies that will give you a competitive edge.

Here's what you can expect from our training sessions:

1. Personalized Skill Assessment:

I'll start by evaluating your current skill level and identifying areas for improvement.

2. Advanced Techniques:

Learn pro-level skills in serving, passing, setting, hitting and defensive play.

3. Strategic Gameplay:

Develop a deeper understanding of volleyball strategy and court awareness.

4. Mental Toughness Training:

Build the mental resilience and emotional toughness needed to perform peacefully under pressure.

5. Physical Conditioning:

Enhance your strength, agility, and endurance specific to the sport with specific volleyball conditioning drills

6. Video Analysis:

We'll use video analysis, just like I do with my Vegas Volley players, to identify areas for improvement and track your progress.

I remember feeling lost when coaches would just throw drills at us without explaining the purpose or technique.

That's why I break down every drill starting with lower body parts and letting you know exactly where feet, knees and hips go and work my way up to upper body parts explaining body placement into clear, focused segments, -so you know EXACTLY how to use your body parts while performing each skill. 


My Award-Winning Sample Volleyball Lesson Structure


  • Warm-up and dynamic stretching (5 minutes)                                               
  • Skill-specific drills (20 minutes)           
  • Advanced technique work (20 minutes)                                                     
  • Game situation training (10 minutes)   
  • Cool-down and feedback (5 minutes)

Finding the right training environment is crucial.

Just like those late-night wall drill sessions in my backyard helped me develop my skills, I'll find the perfect location in Vegas to maximize your training...


Training Locations in Las Vegas


I offer volleyball lessons at various locations throughout Las Vegas, including:

  • Sunset Park Sand Volleyball Courts
  • City of Las Vegas Parks & Recreation gymnasiums

Still have questions?

I get it - choosing the right volleyball coach is a big decision.

Here are some common questions I hear from parents and players...


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

While I specialize in advanced training, I'm happy to assess younger players with exceptional potential and create customized programs to help them develop their skills.



Q: How often should I take lessons to see improvement?

A: For the best results, I recommend at least 1-3 lessons per week, I often see my regular clients two times a week and one weekend day. 



Q: Are your lessons suitable for beginners?

A: I specialize in advanced training with experienced players that have 3-4 years of experience and who have serious goals to make a JV or varsity or college team. I don't coach beginners, I recommend starting with group classes with other top coaches in Vegas to build foundational skills.

Q: What age groups do you work with?

A: I primarily work with high school, club and college, and young adult players. However, I make exceptions and offer specialized training for younger talented advanced level players showing exceptional potential.


Q: How long are your lessons?

A: Standard lessons are 60 minutes, but many long time private clients prefer two hour sessions and I offer flexible options ranging from 90 to 120 minutes based on your needs, goals and schedule.

Q: Do you offer group lessons?

A: I offer small group lessons for 1-4 players. These sessions are great for position-specific and teammate-specific training, I do not train friends looking to train together or groups organized by parents.

I reserve the right to create groups of 4 or less players of similar experience to train together. 

Q: What should I bring to my lesson?

A: Bring comfortable athletic wear, volleyball shoes, knee pads, a water bottle, and a positive attitude! I'll provide the volleyballs, and additional training equipment we may need to use along with any other necessary equipment.








All my clients are very very strong servers because we spend alot of time working on how to score points from the end line so serving technique is one of my priorities. 






Q: How do I schedule a lesson?

A: You can email me at info@improveyourvolley.com to make an initial contact. I do not book single lessons, scroll down to see session packages. 

I have a series of questions that I have newcomers answer and then you decide which package of sessions you want to purchase. I'll work with you to find a time that fits your schedule.

Q: Do you offer online training or video analysis?

A: Yes, I offer video analysis and personalized training plans for players unable to attend in-person sessions.

My volleyball lessons aren't just about improving skills; they're about developing the whole athlete.

Just like my experience at St. Bernard's High School taught me the importance of goal setting, mental toughness and perseverance, I'll help your player (son or daughter) build the character qualities that lead to success both on and off the court...


Elevate Your Volleyball Game in Las Vegas



As a parent, you want to see your child succeed, not just in volleyball, but in life.

As a parent, you want to see your child succeed, not just in volleyball, but in life.

My lessons go beyond the court, teaching valuable skills like discipline, teamwork, and mental toughness that will benefit your child long after their playing days are over. 

I remember being the only Black girl on my high school team, feeling like I had to work twice as hard to prove myself.

That experience taught me the importance of perseverance, and it's something I instill in every player I coach.

And just like any investment, you expect a return.

My goal is for your daughter to look back on her training and say, 'That was the best investment I ever made.' 

I want her college coach to tell her she's one of the most prepared freshmen they've ever seen - a player who's ready to compete for a starting spot from day one. 

For too long, Vegas players have been overlooked because they weren't fully prepared for the demands of college volleyball. 

I'm changing that, one player at a time, by developing athletes who are not just skilled, but mentally and emotionally tough, ready to excel both on and off the court.

About Coach April


As the first four-year University of Tennessee, Knoxville Women's Volleyball Hall of Fame inductee, former USA National Team member and former elite-level six rotation professional volleyball player, I've dedicated my life to the sport of volleyball.


My journey has taken me from the University of Tennessee, where I'm a three-time All American and hold many records that still stand today to many professional volleyball indoor and sand courts around the world.


But my passion doesn't stop at playing. For three years, I shared my knowledge as a columnist for the American Volleyball Coaches Association, helping coaches improve their skills and strategies. Now, I'm bringing that same level of expertise to players like you in Las Vegas.


My coaching philosophy combines cutting-edge training techniques with a deep understanding of the game's mental aspects. I believe in pushing players to their limits while fostering a positive, encouraging environment.


When you train with me, you're not just getting a coach – you're getting a mentor who's been where you want to go.


Let's work together to unlock your full potential and achieve your volleyball dreams.
