About Us

Iuliia2.jpg
Founder and Volleyball Coach 
Iuliia Pakhomenko

As a coach with a rich background in volleyball, I bring a unique perspective to the court. My journey started as a player, where I had the privilege of competing professionally in Ukraine, as well as at the NCAA level in the USA and USport Canada. These experiences taught me the value of hard work, discipline, and adapting to different playing styles. I have seen firsthand what it takes to complete at the highest levels, and I'm passionate about passing that knowledge on to my players. 

​

​My coaching philosophy blends my years of playing experience with a commitment to developing athletes both on and off the court.  I focus on building strong technical skills, mental toughness, and a deep understanding of the game. Whether coaching beginners or advanced players, my goal is to inspire a love for volleyball while pushing each athlete to achieve their full potential, just as I did during my own playing career.
