Director and Coach Brian Charles

Coach Brian Charles brings with him, not only excellent coaching skills but a love for the game of volleyball.  He has played and coached volleyball for the past 10 years.  After coaching several recreational teams, Brian continued his coaching at a club level.  He coached for a local volleyball club for 2 seasons. Both seasons were incredibly successful, going into regionals in the top 32 teams and finishing in the top 20. Brian takes pride in coaching and feels the only way to truly measure success is for each player to finish the season as a better player than they began. 

Brian plays sand volleyball as well as tennis weekly. Outside of volleyball Brian enjoys spending time with his wife, Shannon and daughter, Kama.
