After introducing my elite volleyball coaching style in Las Vegas, I've dedicated my coaching career to elevating the standard of volleyball training in our city.

That's 14 year-old starting setter on our 17s Open division team, Kami Miner, a class of 2024 four-year starting setter for the Stanford Cardinals. Kami played for three years on my Volleycats Elite teams until she and her family moved back to California so she could attend Redondo Union High school a nationally ranked program.   



Since introducing my concept of elite volleyball coaching to Las Vegas in 2014 with the creation of my club Volleycats Elite VBC, I've been at the forefront of advanced volleyball training methods.

College Level Training: What is the Breakfast Club Advantage?


So, what makes my elite volleyball coaching style different?

I created this type of training with a focus on elevating every aspect of your game:

The Breakfast Club, my signature training program, exemplifies what elite volleyball coaching truly means.

This isn't your average training session – it's a rigorous, college-level program designed to prepare serious athletes for their upcoming college season.


Elite Volleyball Coaching:
1. Intensity and Pace


I create and structure drills so that we train at a college pace with quick transitions, minimal downtime, rhythmic tempos and maximum repetitions are the norm.




What is pepper in volleyball?

Its what I make it into because I do stay up nights (I am that coach!)  thinking of different ways to create challenging pepper drill sequences.

Try this one...

  • Set To Yourself
  • Jump Set To Yourself 
  • Hit High To Your Partner
  • Overhead Dig ...start again 

This isn't about going through the motions; it's about pushing boundaries and developing both physical and mental toughness.


Elite Volleyball Coaching:
2. Advanced Skill Development


I have players focus on perfecting complex techniques that are staples in college play but often overlooked in high school training.



I love to focus on ball control drills especially in out of system situations and at elevated speeds with advanced offensive plays and defensive strategies that you won't find in typical Vegas high school practices.

I find ways to include complex rotational systems, advanced blocking techniques and nuanced attacking strategies that are staples of high-level college play.

3. Mental Toughness

College volleyball is as much a mental game as it is physical contest so I incorporate stress training and (quick) decision-making drills to sharpen your mental edge.

Despite the group setting, each athlete receives individualized feedback based on their particular situation with the offensive systems or particular techniques or strategies that their college team utilizes.

The transition from high school to college volleyball can be intimidating.

As a college volleyball prep coach in Las Vegas, I've identified common challenges that incoming freshmen usually face:

1. Speed of Play


The college game moves much faster than club or high school volleyball. We train to quicken your reactions and decision-making abilities .

2. Physical Demands:


College athletes are stronger and more athletic so our multiple reps in a short amount of time training prepares your body for this step up.

3. Technical Precision


Mistakes that might slide in high school are exploited at the college level so we drill with game like consequences if skill goals aren't met. 

Design by April Chapple

"Coach April's training was like a time machine. I stepped into college feeling like I'd already been playing at that level for years."


What's The Difference That Coach April Offers With Breakfast Club Training?

It's not just about running drills – it's about developing complete athletes who understand the game at a deep level. That's why I put so much focus and attention to the technique of each particular  basic skill. 

The next Breakfast Club and volleyball private lessons training sessions are forming now, and spots are limited.

Don't miss this opportunity to elevate your game and set yourself apart in the competitive world of college volleyball recruitment.

Remember, in volleyball, as in life, excellence isn't accidental. It's the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction, and skillful execution.

That's what advanced level volleyball private lessons is all about, and that's what I bring to every athlete I work with.

Don't settle for ordinary training when extraordinary results are within reach.
