M1 Volleyball Junior Olympic Coaching Staff Mizuno M1 Volleyball has been one of the top programs in the Midwest for the past 11 years. The Open and Club level teams at M1 have also won many championships and placed in the medal rounds at nationals on many occasions. Our top staff is among the best junior coaches in the nation and we will always strive to upgrade our teaching each season. Compare and you will find out how talented and experienced the M1 staff is. We are very proud of our coaches and they are ready to get to work each season. M1 has experienced much success regionally and nationally. We have won many championships and medaled at USJO Nationals. However, our team successes are not the only part that define us at M1. Our main objective is training and providing a club atmosphere where everyone develops to their maximum potential. M1 is home for many of the top athletes in the region and also for many players that are just starting out. It is our goal to train everyone at the highest level...On the court and in the weight room. You will not see any bragging or boasting of why we think we are the best. We are M1 Volleyball. We commit to our players and families the best possible program that we know. Our reputation and record will show positive results. The high level of training offered to M1 athletes is made possible by the experienced coaching staff of M1. Our coaches have extensive experience at the Junior Olympic, High School, and Collegiate levels and are recognized and respected nationwide. In addition, we have many current and graduated Minnesota Gopher Volleyball players on our staff who also provide great role models for the M1 athletes. At M1 all of our coaches work together to train every athlete in the club. M1 Volleyball’s entire staff of Directors and Head Coaches is proficient in training the highest level of skills in volleyball and has been teaching advanced methods for many years. The M1 coaching staff is committed to player development. We do not focus our efforts on recruiting players for our junior teams, instead, our mission is to constantly improve and expand our training techniques and curriculum in order to provide the best training in Minnesota and develop great volleyball athletes. We firmly believe that as the game of volleyball advances, coaching must as well and our club is always on the leading edge of volleyball training. Compare our staff and knowledge to that of other programs and you will see the difference. High school and college coaches notice the difference in M1 players.

Practices/Training Each team will practice 2-3 nights per week. Each athlete will receive high level skills training during practice as well as instruction on game play and strategy. This instruction will include Balanced Midline Passing and Defending, Arm Swing Development, and Advanced Blocking Methods and offensive/defensive systems. The M1 training curriculum is designed for all teams and overseen by our Age Group Directors at each age level. Skill development is the number one priority for all of our teams. A testament to the exceptional training provided at M1 is the large number of M1 players that are highly sought after by other junior programs each season. M1 breaks down and teaches the core skills exceptionally well. Specialized Training M1 offers additional weekly sessions of specialized training for all positions (OH, MB, S, DS/Libero) which will focus on balanced midline passing, directional armswing development, setting and serving, and advanced blocking methods/systems. M1 focuses on proper technique and skill progression for each position. These skills sessions are open to all M1 Members at low or no cost depending on the session. These sessions are very popular and highly attended by many players from other clubs in the Twin Cities area throughout the season. The skills sessions are led by Doug Bergman, Thanh Pham, Pat Pangborn, Dan Brown, and more. There will also be special skills sessions run by Dennis Amundson, Head Coach, Minnesota State University, Scott Swanson, Associate Head Coach, University of Minnesota, Laura Bush, Asst Coach University of Minnesota and Jessica Byrnes, U of MN/M1 Alumni and current staff member. Strength, Speed and Agility Program Every M1 athlete will take part in strength, speed and agility workouts as part of their regular practices throughout the season. This will allow the athletes to improve their performance on the court and help reduce athletic injuries. This is the #1 volleyball strength program in the region and has been researched, tested, and proven for 6 years. Our strength program is headed by Nate Michalowski, certified Strength and Conditioning specialist through NSCA. Nate is the Head Sports Performance Director at the Edge Sports Training Center. The Edge is located at the same building and offers us an add’tl 5,000 sq. feet of strength, speed, agility, and conditioning area. Competition/College Recruitment We aim to have our teams compete approximately 2 times per month during the season in an attempt to help the athletes keep a balance between volleyball, family and school commitments. M1 teams compete locally and nationally. They will compete in USA Junior National Qualifiers, and USA Junior National Championships. M1 teams are recognized as some of the top teams in the nation and will play against other nationally rated teams. In addition, our competition schedule will offer great exposure for college recruitment. Colleges know about M1 and look for our players. The Mizuno M1 name assures our players will be seen by hundreds of college coaches each season.
