Book Lessons with Coach Savannah
Experienced Youth Volleyball and Swim Coach
I have played volleyball since I was 8 years old, and it has truly been my biggest passion and outlet throughout my life. The sport has always allowed me to express who I am, build confidence, and learn discipline and teamwork. I was also a varsity letter athlete, which helped me grow as both a player and a leader. Because volleyball has been such a major part of my life, I understand how important encouragement, communication, and positivity are when coaching athletes. I believe I am a strong volleyball coach because I bring energy, patience, leadership, and genuine love for the sport. I want athletes to not only improve their skills, but also gain confidence in themselves and enjoy being part of a team. Swimming has always been another huge passion of mine. I have been teaching swim lessons since I was 15 years old, and I have always felt completely at home in the water — some people even call me a mermaid. Teaching swimming has helped me become patient, attentive, and encouraging, especially when working with younger swimmers who may feel nervous or unsure of themselves. I believe I am a great swim coach because I know how to create a safe, supportive, and fun environment while still helping swimmers improve their technique and confidence in the water. I love watching kids grow more comfortable, capable, and proud of themselves through swimming.

About Me:
I have been passionate about sports for as long as I can remember. I started playing volleyball when I was 8 years old, and it quickly became my biggest outlet and one of the most important parts of my life. I also grew up loving the water and eventually became a swim instructor at 15 years old. Sports have helped shape who I am by teaching me discipline, confidence, leadership, and perseverance. I love helping young athletes grow not only in skill, but also in confidence and character.
How I can help you improve your game:
As a coach, I focus on building both skill and confidence. In volleyball, I help athletes improve fundamentals, communication, teamwork, game awareness, and mental toughness while still making practices motivating and enjoyable. In swimming, I focus on water confidence, technique, safety, endurance, and helping swimmers feel comfortable pushing themselves. I believe every athlete learns differently, so I coach with patience, positivity, and encouragement while still challenging athletes to become stronger and more disciplined.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Volleyball:
A typical volleyball training with me would include warmups, conditioning, skill work, drills, communication exercises, and game-like situations to help athletes improve both individually and as teammates. I like to create practices that are high-energy, competitive, and positive while making sure athletes are learning and staying engaged.
Swimming:
A typical swim lesson or swim training would include water safety, warmups, stroke development, technique work, endurance training, and confidence-building exercises. I always make sure swimmers feel safe, supported, and encouraged while still helping them improve and challenge themselves in the water.

Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Coach Ernesto. He pushed me farther than I ever thought possible and helped shape me into the athlete and person I am today. He taught me the importance of discipline, hard work, mental toughness, and believing in myself even when things got difficult. I want to bring that same encouragement and motivation to the athletes I coach.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am very down-to-earth, outgoing, and easy to talk to. I care deeply about creating a positive and supportive environment where athletes feel comfortable, motivated, and confident. I also have strong Christian beliefs and values, but I love and respect everyone and work well with all different personalities and backgrounds. My goal is always to help athletes grow, feel encouraged, and enjoy the sport they are playing.

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!
