Get to know Milica
Private coach with 14 years of playing and 14 years of coaching expertise.
I’m a highly knowledgeable and experienced volleyball professional with 14 years of competitive playing experience, including earning a full-ride athletic scholarship, and 14 years of coaching experience. I bring firsthand elite-level experience, strong leadership, and a deep understanding of athlete development to help players reach their highest potential.
How I can help you improve
I improve an athlete’s game by identifying their strengths and areas for growth, then creating a focused plan to develop their technical skills, physical abilities, confidence, and volleyball IQ. My goal is to help each athlete become a smarter, stronger, and more confident player
A typical training session
A typical training session with me is structured, high-energy, and personalized to each athlete. We begin with dynamic stretching and movement preparation, followed by technical skill development, position-specific drills, and game-like situations. We finish with stretching, feedback, and a review of key takeaways, ensuring every athlete leaves with measurable progress and a clear focus for improvement.

Best coach I ever had
The best coach I’ve ever had—knowledgeable, dedicated, and genuinely invested in helping athletes reach their full potential.
What athletes & parents should know
I believe great coaching goes beyond teaching volleyball skills—it’s about building confidence, discipline, accountability, and a love for the game. I bring 14 years of playing experience and 14 years of coaching experience, allowing me to understand the game from both the athlete’s and coach’s perspective.
My approach is positive, challenging, and individualized. I meet each athlete where they are, identify areas for growth, and create a clear path to help them improve. I value strong communication with both athletes and parents and strive to create an environment where athletes feel supported, challenged, and confident.
My goal is simple: to help every athlete become a better player, a stronger competitor, and a more confident person.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
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.
How do I book lessons?
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.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
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!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
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.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
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.
When is the coach available to train?
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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
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.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former college and pro athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process + background check, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
