Santa Barbara Volleyball Club
Our leadership
The people behind SBVC, powered by LAVA.
Who leads the club
Santa Barbara Volleyball Club is the collaboration of many respected people in the volleyball community, including the administrative resources of the Los Angeles Volleyball Academy (LAVA). Between the two, we have several full-time staff, a number of part-time administrators, a handful of parent volunteers, and our excellent independently contracted head and assistant coaches.
We are proud of everyone at SBVC: people who care about volleyball and about doing things the right way, men and women from different backgrounds who have come together to make Santa Barbara Volleyball Club what it is. Read more about our leadership team below.
