Meet the Coaches
Our performance teams and recreational sessions are almost entirely coached by student volunteer coaches. Each year, we run a coaching mentorship scheme for students interested in coaching and joining our wonderful team of dedicated coaches here at the University of Bath. Meet some of our Lead Coaches below!

Coaching Mentorship Scheme
Our coaching mentorship scheme serves to develop interested players into fully-fledged Bath Volleyball student coaches. Each year, mentees apply and are selected to participate in this scheme. Throughout the year, mentees shadow a current student coach during trainings, learning how to set goals for a team and how to organise sessions to achieve them, and many more essential coaching skills. At the end of the year our these mentees will have the skills to coach their own Bath Volleyball teams in future!
You don't have to be a pro-athlete to coach a team. You just need determination and passion. As a club, we work with our student coaches to match their preferences, whether it be time commitment, teams or coaching style (individual coach or co-coaching set ups).
If this is something you are interested in, or have any questions about how our mentorship scheme works, please shoot us a message on Instagram or at su-volleyball@bath.ac.uk.
