Coach Phil Pulkin

Academy Coach

Private Lesson Coach 

 

I have been playing, watching and learning about volleyball for 40+ years. Started out playing at age 8 with adults at Friday night church and teaching myself how to overhand serve and proper receiving techniques by watching the best players at the Olympics. Having a coaches eye, I watch for ways to improve every player to be the best they can be, especially back row, digging and serving. I live in Buford with my wife of 25 years Cara and our 3 dogs; Jethro, Dolly & Toby.
