Carl DeFriez

Director of Coaching

Carl DeFriez - 18 Premier

I have been playing and coaching the sport of volleyball for over 20 years and am excited to coach in the 13's and 17's ages this coming season! I've been involved with RVA since moving to Arizona 10 years ago. During this time I have coached primarily in the 17-18's age group while working as Director of Coaching for the Club. 

I've been fortunate to coach some very good players and teams over the years. The teams I coach routinely qualify in the Open Division of USAV Nationals and often win the AZ Region Championship. Most of my players have gone on to successful playing careers in college and a few have even gone on to play professionally. 

I've coached at all levels and across all age groups over the years. I've spent over 20 years Coaching High School & Club Volleyball - both boys and girls teams. These days I have stepped back from coaching High School, and now spend all of my coaching time with Club Volleyball. 

Part of my responsibility at RVA is involvement with Recruiting and College Prep. I've been very fortunate over the past decade at RVA to help over 100 athletes navigate the recruiting process and prepare for the next level. 

I'm looking forward to spending this next season with the 17's & 13's players along with being able to interact with all of our players and coaches across the club.

See you all this Fall!
