He is a good defensive coach on a one on one level. Definitely not a team coach. Team IV means IV. It’s just an advertising gimmick. Brings in players from the outside to practice with the team, mainly players he does private with. Again, good defensive coach to do private lessons with.

My daughter spent a season with coach Lu and had a great experience. Is she tough, yes. If you don’t want tough, I recommend not being at the top club in north texas- every Madfrog coach is tough! But if you want your daughter to grow and learn and be a strong competitor, coach Lu will do just that. The other reviews of this coach make me laugh- sorry, but she would never throw something due to getting second place. We got second place a few times and she coached through it and responded with composure at every turn. She’s a great coach, I would let my daughter play for her again any season.

What an amazing coach. Class act and great leadership. We had a great season at Madfrog with her and I have the utmost respect and admiration for this young woman. She loves her players. Shes tough on them because she holds them to the highest standard. She represents her club and her team with the highest standard. Mad praise for this Madfrog coach!!

Didn’t see improvement in skills Poor coaching decisions

Coach Nikki has been an amazing coach to my player! Her communication with parents and willingness to understand each players needs to push them further is one of a kind. She is very passionate about volleyball, and provides deep knowledge. One thing that stood out to us was she did not just run drills, but took the time to explain the "why" behind it to help the girls grow their game knowledge. I would recommend Coach Nikki to any player and parent who is wanting to push their daughter to the next level on and off the court.

Gaslit my daughter with her injury. Made her feel stupid for being in pain and talking about it so she pushed through and has a chronic possibly life altering injury. Thanks a lot. Not a safe coach at all in my opinion. I had heard issues about his character from others, not good, but gave him the benefit. I thought he was very odd from the start, favourites for sure, dramatic at times. Immature, on the level with the girls. Don't get what others think he's great at, not one iota of credibility.

I did not like him as a coach. He is only nice to the players he thinks are worthy of his praise. If you are a player who he feels is not his favorite then he will belittle you and ignore you. You must fit into some box he’s created. And this is after you’ve paid all the fees, signed all the contracts. He has no business coaching teenage girls. He causes drama.

Our experience with this volleyball coach was extremely disappointing. We had 13 girls on the team, rather than developing the team as a whole, the coach consistently relied on the same rotation and effectively divided the girls into two groups. By the end of the season five girls (families) left the team. In practices, there was no structured skill development, footwork training, no technical training - all free ball and lots and lots if running in laps. The coach was consistently late and there were no regular communication or parent meetings. Even more concerning was the overall team culture. There was mean girl behavior, players were exclusionary and unkind, with no coach intervention to correct and establish a healthier team culture.

After spending 3 years with his club and thousands of dollars on privates, he still played favorites and would put players against each other. This past year he was our coach and it was a nightmare to say it nicely, it was so bad his entire 15 Elite team quit and we all went to different clubs, which is a breath of fresh air. Protect your child from the verbal and mental abuse and stay far away from this club !

My husband and I connected with Coach Jenn at a tourney out in Minnesota this year. Our daughter had been struggling with her footwork for setting along with her release. After a few sessions with Coach Jenn our daughter’s hands and the quickness of the ball release has changed tremendously and her footwork is balanced. Highly recommend!!
