"I had an amazing experience training with coach Milica. I’m an absolute beginner who never played before. Her enormous patience and tremendous knowledge of this sport brought me to a level that I have not even hoped for. Milica’s professionalism and attitude is infectious and will make you aim higher in setting your goals. She was able to break down the technique and practice in such a way that it was easy to understand even to a complete beginner (which is not an easy task, by all means). She packed each session with multiple practices – passing, setting, serving, leg work etc, but it wasn’t overwhelming, it was structured just right. It is obvious that Milica knows and Loves what she is doing and she passes it onto her students! Top notch! I’m looking forward to learning more and would recommend Milica to anyone!

"I have known Kevin through Volleyball for probably 13 years now. I have experienced him in every phase of the sport, as a coach, a partner, a referee, and a promoter. I can’t recommend him highly enough for anyone trying to improve their game from complete beginner to professional. He is constantly learning, studying, and traveling to stay current on trends in the sport and translates that education into his training sessions. Sometimes you will see group training for volleyball and there’s more standing around than actual touches. Not with Kevin. He understands that cardio and high repetitions are integral to the sport and his practices are well planned to meet that goal.
