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!

Coach Milica is great! I was looking for some formal training after having played casually for a few times, and you can tell she knows her stuff from having competed and coached at the highest levels. Having been an experienced athlete myself, she understood all the nuances to my questions, and I was able to get so much out of my first lesson! I have no doubt if you are a novice in volleyball and/or sports, she would be able to guide you as well. Totally worth the money if you are looking for someone that will fast track you to a higher volley ball level. Patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and competitive.

I would hands-on recommend Coach Milica! Apart from her coaching on volleyball game techniques, play strategy and warm-up/cool-down routines, Milica was extremely responsive and professional. As soon as we confirmed our sessions on CoachUp, Milica reached out within minutes listing possible times and venues for training. Milica remained communicative throughout our training months, even reminding us of one yet-to-used session due to our re-scheduling.
Coach Milica is everything you'd want in a volleyball coach and a professional trainer!
Thank you for your time and support, Coach Milica!
