One of our founding principals was to create a club where coaches could constantly learn and improve their coaching skills. It is important to us that Cascade not only be a place where players grow but be the ideal place for coaches to grow too.
We believe strongly in investing into the training of all of our coaches.
Cascade runs coach training sessions under the leadership of Dave Roast who has over 25 years of experience as a volleyball instructor and a player. He also is an executive leadership consultant and is uniquely well qualified to help our staff become better coaches. In addition Cascade Volleyball pays for USA Volleyball training for each of our coaches. This starts with the basic “Impact Training” and continues with the Coach Accreditation Program (CAP I and II). We also send our coaches through the Gold Medal Squared Program hosted at UW in May which is a 3 day intensive experience with some of the best coaches in the country.
Our coaches have had on court training from the following instructors:
- Jim McLaughlin, Head Coach at UW
- Carl McGown, Former Head Coach at Brigham Young
- Marv Dunphy, Head Coach at Pepperdine
- Hugh McCutcheon, Head Coach of the USA Men’s National team and winner of the Olympic Gold Medal. Now Head Coach of the USA Women’s National team
- Bill Neville, Former Head Coach at UW and Men’s National Team Coach
- Diane Flick, Head Coach at Western Washington University
Cascade Volleyball also has an in-club coach mentoring system where an experienced coach travels to each team to observe practices and provide feed back to our coaches. Dave Roast is assisted by:
Carolyn Farny, UW player and graduate 2005
Whitney Dibble, SPU player and graduate 2007
and others.
