North Atlanta Volleyball Club || Coaches

Our coaches are one of the core strengths of our club. NAVC Juniors coaches bring a wealth of experience and varied backgrounds, offering fresh perspectives and ways to communicate the game of volleyball. Our coaches' creativity and skills in teaching the game are one of the strongest points in our program. All of our coaches subscribe to the idea of "Athletes first, winning second." Many of our staff have achieved advanced certifications through USA Volleyball's Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP). NAVC coaches believe that with the right focus on fundamentals and hard work during training, combined with competitive team-oriented play, winning will follow.
