About Coach Nahla

Player. Coach. Founder. The story behind why the VBall Network exists — and the culture it's built to change.

Coach Nahla
"
Volleyball should sharpen you as an athlete and build you as a person — no matter what level you're starting from.
— Coach Nahla, Founder

Coach Nahla built the VBall Network around a simple idea: the sport gets stronger when every athlete — beginner, varsity starter, or club competitor — has a real path to get better, and a culture worth being part of. This isn't a club roster. It's a coaching brand and training philosophy designed to grow into clinics, private lessons, and partnerships that serve the whole volleyball community.

Coach Nahla played four years of varsity volleyball at MOT Charter High School before continuing her career at Delaware Technical Community College. Her coaching path began as an assistant for a 16U club team — an experience that showed her firsthand how disconnected and unwelcoming volleyball culture can be for young athletes. Too many talented players get boxed out by club politics, cliques, and gatekeeping before they ever get a real shot to develop, and that experience became the spark for the VBall Network: a mission to close that gap, build a healthier and more supportive culture across the sport, and give every athlete — no matter their team or level — a network that actually wants to see them grow.

That mission is already in motion. Coach Nahla coaches for Attain Volleyball Academy, extending her services and coaching philosophy across multiple club teams — proof that fundamentals, game IQ, and a culture-first mindset can travel with an athlete no matter which program they're on. The VBall Network is the next step: turning that same approach into clinics, private lessons, camps, and a growing community built for every skill level, not just the athletes already inside the system.

The Path

How This Started

HIGH SCHOOL

Four Years of Varsity Volleyball

COLLEGE

Continuing Her Career at Delaware Tech

She kept playing at Delaware Technical Community College, competing at the next level and sharpening the fundamentals she now coaches.

FIRST COACHING ROLE

Assistant Coach, 16U Club Volleyball

Her first year coaching was as an assistant for a 16U club team — and it was a genuinely rough experience. It exposed just how disconnected, political, and unwelcoming club volleyball culture can be for young athletes trying to just play and grow.

NOW COACHING

Coaching at Attain Volleyball Academy

Coach Nahla now coaches for Attain Volleyball Academy, extending her services across multiple club teams — bringing the same fundamentals, game IQ, and culture-first approach to every program she works with.

TODAY

Building the VBall Network

That experience became the spark for everything here: a network built to close the gap between club programs, raise the culture of the sport, and give every athlete — no matter their team or level — a place that actually wants to see them grow.

What Drives It

The Culture Comes First

Every part of the VBall Network is built around one belief: volleyball should build athletes up, not wear them down. That means:

🤝

Culture & Community First

Closing the gap between club programs and building a volleyball community every athlete feels welcome in.

🏐

Fundamentals

Serve, pass, set, attack — built the right way from day one.

🧠

Game IQ

Reading the court, not just reacting to it.

The Mission

Volleyball culture has a divide problem — the VBall Network exists to close it, one athlete and one club at a time.
