As many of you know, I’ve been deeply involved in volleyball since my daughter first picked up the sport at 10 years old. Some of my most cherished memories come from watching her grow—not only as an athlete, but into the strong, confident woman she is today.

Throughout those years, I had the incredible privilege of training her and extending that same mentorship to other young athletes. After her high school graduation, I stepped away from the sport for a while. But during that time, I realized just how much I missed coaching, mentoring, and watching young athletes develop both on and off the court.

Coaching isn’t just something I do—it’s truly a calling. And I knew I was being called to do more.

Since 2019, I’ve been fully immersed in volleyball once again, and it has been nothing short of amazing. Being part of these athletes’ journeys—their growth, development, and the joy on their faces—has been a true blessing.

Now, the time has come to take the next step.

I am proud and excited to announce the launch of… 

863 Elite Volleyball Academy!

This academy is the culmination of years of passion, purpose, and preparation. I can't wait to lead, mentor, and build a program that focuses on excellence, character, and the love of the game.

Let’s get to work.

— Coach Mike
