Meet The Founder
I’m Coach Van. At 45 years old, I discovered a new passion that changed my life—coaching volleyball. What began as a way to support my daughter quickly grew into something much bigger. Through her, I was introduced to a vibrant community of young athletes, and I realized there was a real opportunity to make a difference—not just for her, but for so many others.
Coaching has become more than just a sport for me; it’s a movement to uplift, empower, and create opportunities for players all across the San Gabriel Valley. I’m here to build strong athletes, stronger character, and a lasting legacy rooted in heart, hustle, and community.
At Volleyball Stars, our mission is to build a strong foundation that empowers each student to reach their full potential.
Like stars in the sky, we believe every player shines brightest when supported from the ground up—and we're committed to developing skills, character, and confidence that launch them toward greater opportunities on and off the court.
