What To Expect From Our Coaching Staff
 
Each of our coaches have many years of both coaching and playing experience at the USAV, high school and/or college levels. To ensure the quality of instruction being provided to our athletes remains second-to-none, each of our coaches are required to complete the IMPACT certification, a pre-season coaching clinic, as well as a background screen completed by the Badger Region and USA Volleyball. Most of our coaches have completed the CAP I certification as well. In addition, and no different than any successful high school program, we implement a proven club-wide training system each season. Under the guidance and direction of our Coaching Advisors, our National coaches serve as lead instructors for their specific age group. These lead instructors will develop practice itineraries for all teams within their age group to ensure consistent training techniques for both Regional and Junior National players.
