Rick brings experience and a lifelong love of volleyball to his role as assistant coach for the 16.4 Force. With over 20 years of coaching high school teams and the past three years with Aspire club volleyball, Rick knows how to help players grow both on and off the court.

A lifelong player himself, Rick has competed in gyms, sand, and grass leagues since high school. He’s a devoted fan of the sport, with a sharp eye for technical form, the mental side of the game, and creating a positive, supportive environment for every athlete.
