What People Are Saying About Us:

 

“When I reflect on my time playing for Rodrigo, I am overcome with gratitude for the amazing relationship that we shared during my time competing at Mizuno Long Beach. Not only did Rodrigo pass on the skills necessary in helping me achieve my goals of becoming a First Team All-American at both the high school and collegiate level, but he helped me reframe my boundaries that define the setter postion, which is preparing me for professional volleyball following the conclusion of my collegiate career at Stanford!”

What People are Saying About Us

 

“As a family, we are forever grateful for the total experience afforded to my daughter under the tutelage of Kara & Rodrigo Gil. They gave her exactly what she needed at that precise time of her development. The opportunity to learn to compete. A critical lesson that far too many parents forget or overlook when all they see are their kids riding the bench. Instead encourage them to ask their coaches what they need to work on to get on the court as mine did with the Gils. I’m certain future volleyball parents will feel the same way about the process & about this great coaching couple!”

He instilled confidence and motivation that carries through in the way I approach the game. His unique perspective has allowed me to see volleyball through a more competitive lens and take my game to the next level. He sets high expectations yet makes players feel they can achieve them through dedication and hard work. His passion for the game and for coaching is infectious and motivates those around him to raise their level of play. Rodrigo has taught me to play confidently, work hard, and never stop improving. He continues to be a crucial part in my playing career and I still continue to ask for his guidance. I am grateful for the lessons he imparted that have made me a better volleyball player and person.”
