THE COACHESTop level coaching and training will be provided by
our experienced coaches. Our entire coaching staff has been trained
and certified by the USA Volleyball Coaching Accreditation Program
(CAP) at various levels, and through the Increased Mastery and Professional Application of Coaching Theory (IMPACT) courses.
In addition, these coaches bring many years
of college and high school coaching experience, enhanced by the fact
that most are past collegiate and adult league volleyball players
themselves. THE TRAVEL COACHESChris Ridolfi Chris will coach the 16 travel team this season.
