A word from our Founder
After completion of my childhood goal to play D1 and professional volleyball, my new goal was to help young athletes obtain their own goals. The love of volleyball has been in my blood from a very early age. Watching my mother’s success and trials while coaching at Pickens High School, instilled a burning passion for the game of volleyball. Starting this volleyball academy has been a dream of mine for the past 16 years, and I am thankful for all that have supported this journey. Pride Volleyball Academy’s philosophy is to use volleyball as a platform to inspire, model, and lead young athletes to be successful both on and off the court. We will create an environment that cultivates a desire to work hard, love their teammates, a desire to compete, and to push themselves to reach their most grandiose dreams. We feel that Pride Volleyball Academy will continue to grow and develop the sport of volleyball and our athletes in such a way that when they play their last volleyball game, they are properly equipped to be productive and successful adults in this tough world. PVA is not just another volleyball club.
