Tempe Family YMCAVolleyball Venue in Tempe, AZ

With 18 years immersed in volleyball and 9 years of coaching experience between private & semi-private lessons, recreational and Club volleyball, I look forward to helping all levels reach their potential and personal goals! I offer private volleyball lessons for beginner to intermediate athletes who want to build strong fundamentals, improve confidence, and elevate their overall game. While I specialize in setting and libero training, I coach all positions and tailor each session to the athlete’s individual needs and goals. My training approach combines technical skill development, game awareness, and agility, strength, and conditioning to help players become well-rounded and game-ready. I use a wide range of professional training equipment—including targets, passing trainers, setter and hitter tools, and portable pop-up nets—to create engaging, effective sessions whether we’re in a gym or training on the go. I offer one-on-one and small group lessons, allowing for focused instruction and personalized feedback. My goal is to help athletes grow not just as volleyball players, but as confident competitors who understand the game and enjoy the process of improving.

"As a parent, I couldn't be more grateful for everything Coach AJ has done for my daughter and the entire team. Since joining the club, my daughter's skills, confidence, and understanding of the game have grown tremendously. AJ has challenged her to work hard, believe in herself, and continue improving every day. What stands out the most is the culture she has created. There is healthy competition that encourages every player to earn their position while still supporting and celebrating one another. The girls are pushed to be their best without feeling like they're competing against each other in a negative way. Coach AJ has also built a positive atmosphere for the parents. Communication is clear, expectations are consistent, and there is a strong emphasis on respect, teamwork, and good sportsmanship. It truly feels like everyone is working toward the same goal of helping the girls grow as athletes and as people. We are so thankful for the time, dedication, and GREAT passion AJ brings to every practice and tournament. If you're looking for a coach who develops skills, builds confidence, and creates a positive team culture, I highly recommend Coach AJ or Club VOS at Tempe where she coaches.
