Volleyball Training

ABOUT US

Growing up in a family that thrived for a competitive atmosphere is what sparked our initial interest in physical activity. Bouncing around from karate, to soccer, track all while being in volleyball leagues is what solidified its spot in our hearts. Participating in the YMCA and gradually transferring into club teams allowed us to master the basics, and enhance them to play at a higher skill level in both sand and indoor volleyball.
We were fortunate enough to be given many opportunities to play with many different types of people from all over the country. But, we know that not everyone is given those same opportunities, which is why we created one for them.

By applying our current knowledge of the sport, along with the knowledge we continue to obtain through our experiences at Concordia University and St. Edwards University, we want to teach others not only how to become the players they want to be on the court, but the people they aspire to be. It can be said that discipline, hard work and commitment are key ingredients to success. But even with those ingredients you will run into obstacles and challenges. We are here to help you overcome those and teach you how to overcome them in the future. We stop at nothing, we work as hard as we can, your goals are our goals and we will reach our goals together, whatever it takes.

Proud Ann Richards graduate and lifelong volleyball enthusiast! With 6 years of competitive club experience—4 years at Texas Shock and 2 years with AJV South's 18's Elite—I honed my skills as a 4-year Varsity setter. In 2022, I turned my passion for the sport into leadership as head coach of Austin Velocity's 13's Purple team, ARS x CTX JR 13's Satellite team for 2 years, and assistant coach for 15's Nationals for CTX Jr. I earned my Bachelor’s in Business and Sports Administration from Concordia University Texas in Fall 2024, while dedicating 4 incredible years competing as a Libero/DS/Setter for the CTXVB program. Fueled by a love for teamwork, strategy, and growth, I bring energy and a fun experience to every opportunity!

At NLP Volleyball, our goals are not only to create an opportunity for growth in skill in group settings, but to be able to focus on individuals and what they want to achieve. In a Private Training Session, both coaches will be present working one on one or in a small group (2-4 people). Prior to the session, there needs to be communication in what the athlete wants to get better at, that way we can prepare a specialized and focused set of drills that will emphasize the skills where growth is needed/wanted. Private sessions are a great way to get in many reps, receive constructive feedback and polish skills. If you are interested in requesting a Private Training Session, please fill out the form and we will get into contact with you shortly. After confirming a session, fill out the waiver and complete form of payment.
