Real stories from real families. Hear what parents, players, and coaches have to say about their experience at Luna Volleyball Academy.
Before there was Luna Volleyball Academy, this was just a great, sought-after private lesson coach named Carlos. Our daughter has greatly improved as a player but most importantly as a person. His faith, family, accountability, and respect for the players and the game made it easy for us. Once we found out he was starting his own club, we joined. We love LVA!
My daughter felt welcome from the first clinic, which is why we kept coming back. We started thinking the drive was too far (~1 hour). But the coaching was so good, we'd be crazy not to continue. The coaches see what each athlete needs and stay the course until they succeed. Our daughter's development and love of the game has gone to a whole new level. It feels like family.
Coach Carlos' Olympian experience is one of the best programs for individual athlete development. Asha went from a slightly timid player scared of making mistakes to a fearless one willing to take on challenges. In my opinion, she would not have made varsity as a freshman without Coach Carlos' guidance. The emphasis was more to better people, not only players.
Coach Leo has been giving my daughter lessons the last couple months and the improvements have been amazing. He really pushes her and is constantly showing ways to improve. All her other coaches and teammates are wondering each week how she's grown so much.
Hudson has been training with Coach Luna over the last year. He patiently transformed how Hudson passes on serve-receive and significantly improved his defense. College coaches have noticed his passing and complimented his back row play. Coach Luna is amazing.
This club is run by pro volleyball players who continue to work their life's passion by teaching what they know to young athletes. The girls work hard. Smiles and laughter are frequently observed. I've seen huge growth in one year with no dip in enthusiasm for the process. 5 stars LVA!
My volleyball game has significantly improved since working with LVA. My defense, out of systems, and staying on my feet, in particular. If you want to really improve your defense skills and become an all around better libero, I highly recommend LVA!
My daughter Isabella has improved tremendously being on Coach Carlos's team, despite the season being cut short due to COVID-19. He has helped her improve her volleyball IQ and skill set in serve receive and hitting. She gained the confidence she needs to be a great pin hitter. She was able to make her High School Varsity team. One of her top goals right now is to play in college and internationally and we know that with Coach Carlos's guidance and training she will be able to accomplish this and more.
I get emotional by just thinking how much my volleyball skills improved in just 9 months of working with Coach Carlos. My primary position is a middle blocker — my overall hitting approach and timing has improved tremendously. My vertical jump and agility much more improved. In just 6 months, I got invited to travel/play at nationals with the higher team, had 4 offers — 3 of those on top club teams. Made JV team as a Freshman in a very competitive HS program.
Carlos has brought my game to a new level. My hitting has become more consistent and I have become more powerful. Carlos helped me become a "smart" hitter standing at only 5'7" — this is important for my collegiate dreams. I now start on my varsity team and lead our team in kills. This fall, I have received my 1st offer for an official visit to one of my top university choices. I feel I will be ready to make the transition from high school to the collegiate level with confidence.
We love Coach Luna's clinics and camps. Since Jasmine started attending, she received the most improved award on her club volleyball team and got a spot on her high school varsity volleyball team. Jasmine also has a spot on the top 16's club team because of her hard work and Coach Luna's camps, private lessons, and clinics.
I have been doing privates with Coach Luna for a year now and my setting skills have developed exponentially. I made my varsity team and the top 18's team at Victory due to Coach Luna's amazing coaching methods and deep understanding of volleyball. My setting and defensive skills got so much better through Coach's patience and encouragement.
My daughter Karyssa was 13 when she started playing club for Coach Carlos. Coming in, she already possessed the skills, but by the end of the season she filled in as an OH! He got her vertical to 24 inches! Because of Coach Carlos, my daughter made the Varsity high school team as a Freshman — playing all around/Outside hitter. She is a Sophomore now and still playing Varsity. He truly helped get her to the next level.
I truly appreciate Coach Carlos and his commitment for volleyball. He has taught me many volleyball techniques which help me expand my ability for hitting, blocking, serving and more. He has helped me by giving me motivation and assured my confidence with myself. I want to continue to work with him so he can guide and train me to achieving my goals to play college volleyball and internationally.
We want to send our heartfelt thanks for believing in our daughter and teaching her so much about volleyball over the past three years. She has grown leaps and bounds as a player and athlete. We truly believe your coaching is one of the major reasons she is starting on the Varsity team as a sophomore. When she gets "out of sync" with her game, she says, "I think I need to go see Coach Carlos."
Being apart of Luna this 1st year was amazing. We had 2 great coaches on 15 National. My daughter has found a club team that she loves and loves the game again. We can't wait till next season!!
We absolutely love and trust Coach Carlos and the LVA family. All of the Coaches at LVA are professional, skilled and experienced. We have done the hitting and libero academy and clinics with Carlos since our daughter was 8 years old. As she has aged and improved over the last 4 seasons we continue to turn to LVA clinics for growth, confidence and acquisition of new skills.
Join the LVA family and experience Olympic-level coaching, values-driven development, and a community that feels like home.
