Group Training Sessions and Skill Programs
These sessions are held just about every Sunday evening. We offer General Skills Development for all ages, no matter the skill level. Build your fundamentals in a small group environment where we work with each player individually. We will work on proper technique and build confidence for our players. These individualized training sessions will continue on Sundays year round as space is available.
Get ready for Tryouts. Join Dan Palmer and MAVA coaches for these pre-tryout clinics the week before 10- 14u tryouts. Coaches from the 10s, 11s, 12s, 13s and 14s will be present. Come once or join us for all four sessions. We will run drills to be used at tryouts. It's a great opportunity to meet coaches and other MAVA players.
Get ready for Tryouts with Dan Palmer and the 15s-18s MAVA coaches. Players will be working on position and game play skills and preparing for some of the drills that will be run at tryouts. Players should come prepared to improve their skills and gain confidence in their game play.

Dan Palmer
Dan Palmer, the most decorated coach on our staff and our Club Director, has been coaching volleyball for over 30 years. In that time, he has won the AAU National Championship 8 times in the Open Division, been Runner-Up 3 times, and been a Silver/Bronze medalist over 10 times. Dan has also won the USAV Jr. Olympic National Open Division Championship 3 times, and taken Top 3 another four times.
Dan has placed over 300 student-athletes at the NCAA Division One level on scholarship, and even more at other collegiate levels! He has acquired more collegiate connections nationwide than any other coach in the state of Kentucky and is someone that produces players each year that college coaches personally seek out to have in their programs.
In his coaching tenure, Dan has also coached at the high school and collegiate levels. In Dan’s 8 years at Assumption High School, he was a major part of the first 2 National Championship teams and 6 State Championship teams to come through the program. In his two years at Holy Cross High School, he led the volleyball team to their first appearance in the State Tournament Semifinals. Then as the Bellarmine University Head Coach, he led the team to many unprecedented record breaking performances.
With Dan’s highly successful volleyball coaching history, large number of athletes placed in college, extensive coaching connections nationwide, and the caliber of players that he produces annually from his team and skills training, he is one of the most sought after coaches in the country for all things volleyball and we couldn’t be happier to have him on staff.
Additionally, Dan coached and/or trained all of MAVA's Master Trainers. If you want to be trained by the best, sign up for one of our clinics or email Dan to schedule with him or one of the club’s Master Trainers.
