Coach Jeff

Jeff founded and directed Suncoast Volleyball Club for 11 years before serving as Director at EVO Volleyball, and now brings that experience to SVC where he has coached for the past 8 years. With 30 years of coaching experience across middle school, JV, varsity, and club levels, he has guided USA Volleyball teams from 10U to 15U and knows how to connect with athletes at every stage.

A proud father of two, Jeff holds a Bachelor's Degree in Physical Education and a Master's in Athletic Administration and Coaching Leadership. For 30 years, he has taught elementary physical education, shaping young minds both in the classroom and on the court.

Jeff is certified in USA Volleyball IMPACT 1, the Coaches Accreditation Program I & II, and Beach Impact Coursework. He also pioneered the Volley Totz and Volley Kidz programs in the Sarasota area, introducing the sport to its youngest enthusiasts.

Driven by a belief in teaching "the game" of volleyball to athletes of all ages, Jeff strives to make every aspect of the sporting experience enjoyable. His coaching philosophy revolves around infusing practices, games, and activities with fun, excitement, and healthy competition.

His ultimate goal is to make success achievable for athletes of all ages and skill levels, creating a legacy that extends far beyond the volleyball court.
