Brian and Victoria, who met on their first day of preplanning teaching at Eisenhower Middle School, work hard to make Hurricane Volleyball Academy stand out among other local volleyball clubs.

“There is no lack of volleyball clubs in the area; what makes us diferent is our experience with teaching and encouraging youth and our record of achieving college scholarship opportunities for high-level athletes,” said Victoria. “Having been in the education field and athletes for so long, we know how to build not just the skills of the sport but the vital life lessons that only sports can expose you to.”

The academy’s coaching staf also includes a sports trainer, nutritionalist and sports psychologist that help players understand what they go through as young athletes and how to achieve their goals. “We believe in teaching and coaching the person, not just the sport,” said Victoria. Recruitment is also ofered for college bound players. “Brian’s previous work experience with the National Scouting Report has honed his skills at identifying what players need to make it to the next level in the sport,” explained Victoria. “We have a consistent track record of getting our players recruited to play at the college level. In our first four seasons, we had 84 percent of our 18-year-old players ofered a scholarship, and 13 out of the 38 (around 33.3 percent) went on to play in college their freshman year.” Hurricane Volleyball Academy’s main practice facility is located out of Central Baptist Church at 402 E.
