Meet Our Leadership

With over 35 years of volleyball experience and 25 years dedicated to coaching youth sports in Winter Park, Coach Aaron is a cornerstone of the local volleyball community. As the founder of Winter Park Volleyball Club (WPVC), Aaron has been at the helm since day one—shaping the culture, vision, and competitive edge of the program for the past 15 years.

Known for his fierce commitment to excellence and discipline, Coach Aaron lives by the motto: "Look fierce, play fierce." On his teams, braids are mandatory, every point matters, and intensity never takes a break. “Keep your foot on the gas” and “Control what happens on our side of the court” are guiding principles that define his coaching style.

Aaron’s teams don’t just show up—they compete, and the results speak for themselves. He’s led squads to multiple national victories, including titles at the Sunshine Classic, Northern Lights, Northeast Qualifier, and a crowning achievement as USAV 2024 National Champions. His excellence was formally recognized when he was named Junior Coach of the Year by the Florida Region.

Whether he's developing beginners or training national-level athletes, Coach Aaron brings passion, purpose, and a relentless drive to elevate every player who steps on the court.

Coach Shawna’s passion for volleyball is immediately evident to anyone who meets her. With a lifelong connection to the sport as both a player and a coach, she brings over 15 years of competitive coaching and leadership experience to WPVC, where she has been a valued member since 2011.

Shawna is deeply committed to developing athletes through a strong technical foundation. She emphasizes teaching not just the "how" but the "why" behind each skill, empowering players with the knowledge and understanding they need to grow. Her coaching philosophy centers on building a positive, competitive team culture—where athletes are challenged to push their limits, support one another, and always strive for collective success.

She believes in allowing players the space to make mistakes, learn, and grow. By fostering resilience and confidence, Shawna helps her athletes develop the mental toughness needed to excel under pressure.

Throughout her time at WPVC, Shawna has coached across all age groups and has led both girls’ and boys’ teams. Her teams have achieved significant success, including an AAU National Championship, a first-place Gold finish at the Big South Qualifier, and seven consecutive years of qualifying for USAV Nationals.

As a WPVC Director, Shawna is a cornerstone of the club's culture. She is deeply invested in the well-being of her athletes and their families, firmly believing that strong family support builds strong players. She embodies the WPVC motto: One Team, One Family.

This season, Shawna will be leading the 14 Amour Black Girls team, and she’s excited to continue developing confident, skilled, and team-minded athletes.
