Private Lessons with Coach Angel
Angel Gaskin
A West Florida native and retired professional volleyball player, Angel brings Division I NCAA Power 5 and international pro-level experience to every session. She played at the University of Maryland — earning BIG10 Freshman of the Week honors, a spot on the USA Collegiate National Team, and serving as team captain — before transferring to the University of Hawai'i, where she helped lead the Rainbow Wahine to the NCAA Tournament.
Her professional career took her across Greece, Sweden, Switzerland, Cyprus, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. — including a standout season in Sweden as the league's top right-side hitter with six MVP awards and a national silver medal, plus the inaugural season of the Professional Volleyball Federation (PVF).
Through A-League Volley, Coach Angel runs SVC's private lessons with an emphasis on mastering the basics, sharpening skill sets, and developing a strong volleyball IQ — building confident, well-rounded athletes on and off the court.
