Revolution Volleyball coaches are all-in on helping every athlete grow as a player and as a person. We combine clear, repeatable skill teaching with the Revolution Defense system and a fun, competitive practice environment where players get a lot of touches and real feedback.

We start with a strong technical foundation and then layer in position-specific work, game-like scenarios, and decision-making as athletes advance. Practices are structured, high-energy, and focused on teamwork, communication, and confidence—so players improve quickly, understand the game, and actually enjoy being in the gym.

Tanner Morris - Head of Volleyball

Tanner is entering his 30th year of coaching and has built his career around one simple idea: every athlete can get a lot better with clear teaching and high-effort reps. He created the Revolution Defense system to give players simple, repeatable system that make defense and reading the game easier to learn and easier to run across all teams.

Over the years, he’s worked with thousands of athletes from first-time youth players to college and professional athletes, always starting with strong fundamentals and layering in speed, decision-making, and confidence. Tanner lives our standard of Effort, Energy, and Enthusiasm, and his goal at Revolution is that every athlete feels seen, coached, and pushed to reach their own ceiling, on the court and as a person.
