For 14+ years Coach April has trained Vegas high school and college players next level, elite-style and professionally inspired volleyball private lessons.

Vegas volleyball private lessons and small group  instruction inspired by my international pro volleyball experiences! 14+ years and running!

I've provided volleyball instruction with private and semi-private small groups to Las Vegas collegiate, high school, middle school and youth players and coaches for more than 14 years now.

As a former professional player, I bring firsthand experience of what it takes to compete at the highest levels. This isn't theoretical knowledge – it's practical, battle-tested understanding of the game's nuances.

In my professional career I was an elite level, world-class six-rotation outside hitter, who was named to the USA National team and who as a professional athlete, never came off the court in the backrow.

I always played for the entire match that I was competing in and rarely came out unless injured which only happened once in my career as a

• Hall of Fame member and three-time All American outside hitter at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville
• when I was the very first First Round draft pick, the first year of the first ever American women's pro volleyball league in 1987 as an outside hitter for the New York Liberties
• named to the very first First Team All Pro Team at the end of the inaugural Major League Volleyball season
• or as a professional outside hitter in the Italian Professional league where I became a part of a very small select group of elite America women volleyball players to ever play in a Division I Italian championship finals 

Only a very few American women in the world have earned this silver medal which what the Italian Federation Division I championship runner-ups receive. I won this while playing with my professional team in Reggio Emilia, Italy.

In Italy I played with and against Olympians, world champions and gold medalists from volleyball strong countries all over the world including Germany, Brazil, Czechoslavakia, Yugoslavia, Peru, Argentina, Japan, Bulgaria and Russia as well as with teammates USA Olympic middle blocker bronze medalist Elaina Oden in one season and three-time Olympic middle blocker and two-time Olympic assistant coach, silver and bronze medalist middle blocker Paula Weishoff who after 14 years will retire this year as the Concordia Irvine head coach.

Together while playing with Paula I became one of a handful of American women who has EVER played in the championship finals of the D-I Italian championships, the championship finals of the European championships (CEV) and the championship finals of the Italian Cup.

Together while playing with Paula I became one of a handful of American women who has EVER played in the championship finals of the D-I Italian championships, the championship finals of the European championships (CEV) and the championship finals of the Italian Cup.

I belong to a very small group of elite level players to accomplish that achievement and that uniquely positions me to be one of the best choices here in Vegas to talk about the ELITE level playing experience and of what it takes to compete at the highest levels.

In the second year of the very first Four-vs-Four person professional league tour in the United States, I played on Team Champion (cool name, cool sponsor and we were outfitted with the coolest clothes) with Team captain 3-time Olympian Paula Weishoff middle blocker, Tammy Liley USA Olympic Team team captain and two-time Olympic opposite and setters Cheri Boyer and Kelly Van Winden who's twin sister Lisa Strand Ma'a is 2024 Olympic Men's setter Micha Ma'a mother, so Kelly is Micah's aunt. At the end of the 1993 season I was voted Best Left Outside Hitter and Paula was the season MVP. In the photo starting clockwise thats me in left corner Tammi in the upper right corner, Paula in the lower right corner and Cheri in the lower left. The Budlight Fours Pro Tour was regularly televised on ESPN and one of the host was Hall of Fame Beach legend and former UCSB head coach Cathy Gregory.

I can guarantee you, this isn't theoretical knowledge – it's my firsthand, battle-tested understanding of the game's nuances and ebbs and flows spoken by an expert who can reliably forecast what will happen during a game many times before it happens.

Additionally, my experience as a USA Volleyball High Performance coach and evaluator has given me additional insight into the latest training methodologies used to develop top-tier talent.

I bring these cutting-edge techniques directly to my volleyball athletes in Las Vegas.

But what also sets my elite coaching apart is focusing on the mental aspect of the game with my clients.

My regular clients BYU opposite hitter #1 Kate Prior, Izzy Spinella, Ariella Perez.

At the beginning of my high school and club career I was not always the tallest player on the court and once I knew the importance of making up for that "disadvantage" by controlling the things I could control by working on being the fastest and the smartest in the game.

That's what I focused on when training at home or between team practices and I taught myself and listened to my mentors when they helped me learn how to use these "controllables" to my advantage.

The controllables I really focused on were becoming

• the smartest
• the most prepared
• the most emotionally stable player

on the court making sure that I didn't show opponents or teammates that any mistakes committed by myself or my team bothered me. 

Those are additional types of volleyball lessons I am qualified to pass on to my clients especially with my experience as a professional world class six rotation player who spent more time on the court than many teammates who were front row only or backrow only specialists. 

Volleyball at high levels is as much a mental game as it is physical. I focus intensively on

• developing mental toughness
• strategic thinking, reading and forecasting
• the ability to perform under pressure

– skills that are crucial for success in college volleyball and beyond.
