I have played 20+ years of volleyball and have coached 4 season for middle school girls. I have had a passion for volleyball for a long time and I am still currently playing 4x4 Women's Adult Volleyball. I want to teach players as much as I can and still have fun with the game. Coaches can make or break someones love for a sport. I want players to enjoy what position they play and if they don't I will teach them another. I once had a coach tell me that I was too tall to learn how to pass, I just needed to know how to hit/block, even though I needed to learn since I was a good server and had to play in the back row until I lost the serve. Finally I had a coach that told me I wasn't too tall that I still needed to learn. That club season I learned how to pass and set. I am now a well rounded player and can step into any role needed, and that is my goal for coaching.

My best coach was the coach that told me that I was not too tall to learn how to pass, he also told me that he wishes he could "play like me when he grew up". That coach is also that one that showed me what my true potential was in this sport. He thought me tips and tricks that I was also envious that other players had naturally. I learned how to pass, set, read a hitter as a blocker and passer.
I am a tough coach but I also want to have fun. I am serious when I need to be and I am relaxed when I need to be. I want players to love this sport as much as I do and I want to be the coach that changed a players career like a coach changed mine.

Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
