The ENTIRE OVA coaching staff is fantastic--knowledgeable, professional, patient, and encouraging.  Thanks for giving our kids of all skill levels a chance and instilling confidence in them!!  --VVF

The positive training environment and the bonds she has made with her teammates are just a couple of reasons why my daughter enjoys playing for OVA. As a beginner she has learned so much already and it’s wonderful seeing her confidence grow! Thank you OVA!!

"Coach Rich Thompson works impressively well with my daughter, Tilda, by focusing on every body mechanic and letting her know when a movement looks out of place"... Tionni

"Gold Medal Squared is the collaborative effort of some of our countries most successful and experienced coaches. Founded by the late Dr. Carl McGown in 1985, today the tradition of excellence lives on. Our staff has been at the top of the game at every level: High School, Club, Collegiate, Professional Foreign Leagues, and International competition."- GMS

Our Club Director, Rick Reyes, has his credential in Gold Medal Squared, and has been pursuing its teachings since 2008. Everything from Swing Blocking, 4-Step approach, Passing, and Serving Mechanics is taught to beginners to advanced players.

All of our teachings are based on the Gold Medal Squared philosophy (see below), as well as studying the most successful teachings from around the country... Players from the surrounding areas will take part of the newest volleyball club in Sacramento. All players are coached by our experienced OVA coaching staff, and supervised by the director.

We look forward to seeing you on the court!

Our process for creating successful athletes is with our GMS philosophy and model. We believe that if we teach and train athletes the proper way, we can accelerate the learning process. At every training session, we are consistently assessing players and motivating them to learn, while building confidence.

We teach advanced techniques for all players and preparing them for varsity volleyball. While most clubs are placing players on Premier and Power teams in their first year as club players, we emphasize our Prime --> Premier -->Power training progression

My 20+ years of teaching youth development has enabled me to create this foundation, while observing many players make their high school teams, and having successful collegiate careers.

Congrats to coach Rick Reyes for being named Metro League "Coach of the Year".

Congrats to coach Rich Thompson/ OVA Asst. Director for a 3rd place finish in the Metro League.
