I played volleyball at FTLO in Summer 2020. At first, it was a positive experience. During the first lesson, Matt fixed how I receive the ball. Even though I played before, I bumped the ball incorrectly. Thanks for teaching me the correct way! However, the rest of my experience wasn't that great. Mostly because I’m not a beginner player, nor advanced. I’m somewhere in the middle and going to intermediate/advanced FTLO training I didn’t improve much (ofc partially my fault) while staying at beginner classes was boring. The biggest disappointment was the last game of the Summer when I played with mostly beginner/intermediate players against Matt and one of his assistants. Yes, it was 6 vs 2, but 6 beginner/intermediate players vs 2 pro players looked quite pathetic. Matt spiked every ball quite hard and I don’t think the coach should demonstrate how strong he can hit the ball against players who don’t even receive some basic balls correctly. Other than this, Matt is a good instructor. The last comment is that most of the players at FTLO are high-school students. If you already graduated from a university like me it’s not that easy to meet like-minded people, there :)

I have joined FTLO Volleyball every season and it's an activity I look forward to every week. Matt and Jen are passionate about bringing together a supportive adult volleyball community that embraces everyone of all skill level. Participants are challenged appropriately and each clinic is planned and executed thoughtfully. Being able to build a safe and inclusive environment while helping individuals improve their volleyball skills is no easy task - especially when you're managing adults! I would highly recommend anyone who wants to pick up volleyball to join FTLO Volleyball. Whether you're a beginner, an intermediate, or an advanced player, there will be something for you!

Best Volleyball Clinic Ever! Matt makes sure that you walk out of each clinic happily and wants you to improve! He takes his time explaining on what you're doing wrong and how to improve. Always remains positive and best drills ever! He's also very funny! Very cool guy! Thank you so much for all the fun training so far despite of the pandemic! Highly recommend!

Matt's FTLO clinic was a fantastic experience. He and his assistants provided easy to understand breakdowns of the game and continued to give individually tailored feedback and pointers throughout the various drills/scrimmages. The clinic itself is a great atmosphere for anyone looking to get into the sport. Before this summer, I've never really considered playing volleyball. However through this clinic, I've made some new friends and am now playing in a recreational league together.

This is a fantastic place to learn and hone in your skills. Matt works with each person to achieve whatever their goal is; from being more active to reaching the next level of competition. Matt starts off with giving simple instructions to that encompass the core elements of each activity. Whether it be serving, setting, digging, etc. He and his assistants then give personal advice tailored to each person's performance. Everyone is friendly and working towards their own goals. And you are encouraged to do the full motion of each activity without any fear of failure.

FTLO has been the summer activity that I've looked forward to every year for the past few years. I only started playing volleyball in the fall of 2017, but I was lucky enough to meet Matt through the program he was coaching at the Richmond Oval a few months after I started playing. Having Matt coach me pretty much right from the beginning really helped establish a strong foundation. I don't consider myself a high level player, but through FTLO I've been able to bring my skill level up to a point where I can hold my own at what I consider an intermediate level. If you're an adult who is just getting into volleyball, or if you haven't played in a long time and want to get back into it, FTLO is the way to go. They offer beginner and intermediate level clinics so you can pick what's best for you. Matt is a knowledgeable coach who provides great instruction and he plans his clinics very well. There's always a clear vision for how he wants you to develop the different volleyball skills. Skills are presented with basic drills at first that gradually increase in difficulty to where you're applying them in game situations. Even though he coaches in groups he's always willing to hear you out if there's something specific you want to work on. Or if he sees that you can improve on something he'll pull you aside to give you personalized tips. He also has assistant coaches to help demonstrate drills and they also provide feedback to help you out. Being a part of FTLO has been amazing. I've learned a lot and I've met a lot of friends through the program. It's not just a clinic where you show up, learn and then leave. It's a community.

Best decision I made last summer, can’t recommend it enough. I joined as a complete beginner with no volleyball or sports experience, often intimidated by the idea of trying a new sport. Matt was incredibly patient and encouraging, and through personalized coaching he achieved the impossible, transforming me into tier 3 champions by the summer-end tournament. I was blown away by how much I was able to improve over one summer, now able to join my friends in games on the court during the year. If you don’t join organized training, you won’t be able to improve your skills as a player. When it comes to clinics there are many available options, but Matt’s heart to make us better players and his tremendous care towards his students' growth will help you achieve the results you want!
