I expected my daughter's first year of club volleyball to be a wonderful developmental year for her. Boy was I wrong. This coach selected girls for positions in August and kept them there hindering their growth. Instead of developing all volleyball skills across the board for all players, she shoehorned them into positions and only had front row work on hitting, back row on passing, etc.. At 9 and 10 year old, these girls should be learning how to do it all since you don't know how tall they will be later in life, which can greatly impact what position they will play. Practice drills were basically the same in April as they were in August. There was no progression in the drills to continue to raise their skills. This coach watches where the ball goes vs ensuring the girls have proper form and technique. An absolute disservice to the girls especially at this age. Not only that, my daughter's confidence is in the gutter. She's constantly told she can't do things, gets subbed out after one mistake while watching teammates make 5+ errors in a row without getting pulled in games. I don't even care if my daughter plays because playing time is earned in club, this complaint isn't that. I know volleyball and club. So if you want your daughter to not be taught the basics and fundamentals of volleyball and enjoy coaches who make snarky and passive aggressive comments to the girls to tank their spirit and confidence, this club and coach may be for you.

Destiny is incredibly negative. She tells us we are embarrassing if we do not play well. She also tells us we are just going to forfeit the rest of our games since we don't deserve to play. She will scream at us while we are playing and many of us will cry. It just isn't fun at all.

Brauzon is a strong coach, though right after the team qualified in Open, much of his focus moved toward recruiting for the next season, and he will not attend Nationals with the team in June.

Though my daughter did not play directly for Coach Al he has assisted with team practice on several occasions. He brings high energy while at the same time bringing a calmness even when introducing a new skill or correcting a skill. He is methodical and strategic when coaching and empowers each player. I highly offer my recommendation.

She will never coach my kid again. She yanks players after every mistake, yells instead of coaching, talks trash about girls while on the sideline and is a pretty arrogant coach considering she didn’t play in college. She will speak inappropriately to parents and demean every girl she coaches. We tried to give her the benefit of the doubt and she repetitiously gave us reasons not to. We are so happy to know she is not returning to 1U or High School coaching. Now we know why she wasn’t allowed to coach at PISD any longer.

Go read the 2 negative reviews, as these are exactly the truth. The other reviews sound exactly like Cooper or his assistant wrote them, themselves. It is how they talk and what they promise but neither have the skills nor patience to deliver. Instead, your daughter will spend the season watching her peers on other teams improve while she stays the same. Cooper is mean and verbally abusive when things aren't going his way. He will scream directly in the faces of some of his players. I honestly don't know why he wants to coach young girls. I wish I could add a positive here but I simply cannot think of one. It was a rough year and I wish I had read the negative reviews, as they were the honest ones.

Does not meet club vision statement of positive, Christian environment where players can grow. She plays favorites and isolates teammates. Does not hold everyone on team to the same standards. No Christian values put forward in her coaching or dealing with team. Puts players down. Will erode confidence of players with her abrupt style and lack of compassion.

Always late. Screamed at girls at tournament over line judging rotation. To the point where other teams and their parents had their jaw dropped. They are kids..

The coach Carrie Brown. Be careful when signing to her team , she promises spots, play time, etc. then doesn’t back it up. She likes to play favorites and won’t keep her word. Just warning whoever is deciding to begin playing on her team because it’s a 50/50 chance that you’ll love it or hate it!

Nuby is an amazing coach for private lessons. Your child will definitely improve after 1 lesson. I highly recommend if your player needs help. As for a team coach, it was very difficult for most of the team. He did have favorites and it shows. Practice were not productive.
