Clinic features

Science and Experience
drives our volleyball clinic curriculum.

For over 30 years we have relied heavily on science to help develop our volleyball clinic curriculum. Whether it’s hiring statisticians to help us determine the most important skills, or combing through thousands of data points to help our teams improve by 1 percent, science is a foundational component to our coaching clinic curriculum. Additionally, we believe that no science is settled science. As the game evolves, and as we learn ourselves, we continue to refine, tweak and adjust our coaching methods in an effort to get better.

Unlimited Access to world-class coaches

Our clinicians are some of the most experienced coaches in the sport. Many of our coaches have over 20 year experience coaching at the international, professional, and Division-I college levels.

Offensive and defensive teams system presentations

Go on a deep dive with us as we cover both offensive and defensive systems in detail. You'll gain new insights into the game as we show you the how and why behind the systems we recommend from our data and science-driven approach.

Classroom and on-court sessions

We will help you take what you learn from our detailed classroom presentations and apply it on the court in practice and game-like scenarios. This experiential learning will help you pass the knowledge you gain along to your staff and athletes

Setter training and tutoring session

A dedicated session to this important position will have you understanding how you can train great setters even if you have no prior experience with setting.

"I just wanted to say thanks! Since Gold Medal Squared started running our volleyball camps two years ago, our record has gone from 3-26 to 20-14 this past season. Additionally, this was the first time in school history to have a team reach 20 wins! Thanks again!!!"
Michelle
Varsity Volleyball Coach
"SIMPLY AWESOME! Your volleyball camp staff was amazing last year. Both myself and the girls are particularly excited for this years camp. GMS has been the BEST investment of time and money for DHSVB! I know I am a better coach because of you volleyball training. Furthermore, my team is undoubtedly better because of it.
Thank you!"
Karen
High School Volleyball Coach
"So we pulled it out! Firstly, we defeated the #2 ranked team in the state to win the 3A League Tournament! Secondly, we go into the 3A district tournament as the #1 seed. So much of what I’ve learned has come while attending your volleyball training events. They are unquestionably the best, and I thank you for all that you do."
Bonnie

"Tomorrow my high school team plays for the 5A state championship, and I just wanted to say thanks. With the help of GMS and especially the time you have given, our program has made huge leaps in the last three years. We are 44-4 and the number one seed going into tomorrow’s match. Wish us luck."
Anthony
Varsity Volleyball Coach
"We are in our county tournament final on Saturday. I can’t even begin to tell you what an impact your summer volleyball camps have had on our program. We have improved significantly, going 17-6 and having the best year that we’ve had in many years. Surely your volleyball camp got our season off to a great start, and we haven’t looked back. Thank you so much!"
Jim Brown
High School Volleyball Coach
"Thanks for checking in with us. We had a great season, the best we have had in years! We know the momentum started with such a great volleyball training over the summer. Additionally, this was my first year coaching so having this training before our season was invaluable to both our staff and athletes."
