"Randa gave some great pointers that can improve my game

I’ve been playing volleyball for over 30 years and absolutely love teaching beginners how to play this wonderful sport. I’ve played on adult leagues for many years. I love teaching children to adults and make our lessons fun! I taught my daughter the sport of volleyball at 4 years old. Now she’s loves playing. It’s such a fun sport and great exercise. I teach at the volleyball court in the Richmond District. I only teach beginners at this time. 🤾🏽‍♀️🏐🤾🏻

"Randa genuinely enjoys coaching and it shines through. She breaks down skills into bite sized drills and is incredibly patient. My 10yr old throughly enjoys her coaching style and we’ve seen a difference in her confidence and skill levels after only 2 lessons. Can’t wait to see what additional lessons bring. We highly recommend Coach Randa!

Golf is supposed to be fun — I help beginners make it that way, faster. No jargon, no overwhelming swing theory. Just practical fixes that give you confidence on the range and on the course from lesson one.

Brian brings a rare combination of rapid progression, high-level competitive experience, and analytical depth to his coaching. In just eight months, he climbed from a 2.7 to a 4.599 DUPR competing regularly with 4.5+ level players. That kind of trajectory isn’t accidental. It reflects deliberate practice, smart drilling, and a deep understanding of patterns, probabilities, and pressure moments. Brian doesn’t just teach shots—he teaches advantage. He thinks in terms of exchange ratios, positioning leverage, and when a speed-up truly earns you a 51–49 edge instead of opening you up to a counter. His fast hands and aggressive instincts are backed by thoughtful decision-making, helping players build controlled offense rather than reckless pace. What separates Brian is how clearly he sees the game. He understands rating systems, regional play styles, and how skill translates across levels. He’s studied what actually moves DUPR, what causes plateaus, and how to break through them—because he’s lived it. Whether you’re a 3.0 trying to stabilize your third shot, a 4.0 stuck at a ceiling, or a tournament player refining hands battles, Brian coaches with structure, intentionality, and measurable progress in mind. If you want to level up intelligently—not just hit harder, but win smarter—he’ll help you build a game that holds up under pressure. ^ yes, written by ai. real people don’t use that many em dashes.

Hello all, my name is Riley Harwell. I’m a recent graduate of Louisiana State University (LSU) with a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science. I was a four-year starter for LSU’s Club Baseball Team, where I helped lead the team to two NCBA World Series appearances in 2022 and 2023. In 2024, I was honored as the MVP of the NCBA Wood Wars Tournament in West Monroe, Lousiana. Before college, I spent over 15 years competing in North Georgia for various teams in East Cobb and the surrounding areas, gaining valuable experience and developing a strong foundation in the game through consistent, high-level competition. I have a lifelong passion for both development and competition, and I’m always eager to share my knowledge of the game with anyone willing to learn. I anticipate providing lessons in hitting, playing the catcher position, or general Infield/outfield glove work and mechanics.
