Tulsa Volleyball League is looking for knowledgeable, dependable and encouraging coaches who want to teach the game the right way while creating a positive experience for every player on the court.
APPLY TO COACHHelp Us Build Better Volleyball Players
TVL was built around the love of the game and the belief that players deserve a place to learn volleyball without having to enter the traditional club system.
Our coaches are an important part of that mission.
We want coaches who can teach proper fundamentals, explain the game in a way young athletes understand, encourage improvement and help players become more confident every time they step onto the court.
Coaching With TVL
We want our coaches to be able to focus on coaching. TVL handles the league structure so you can focus on the athletes in front of you.
Paid Coaching
Our youth coaching positions are paid. We value the time, knowledge and preparation it takes to properly teach young athletes.
Structured Programs
TVL provides the league structure, schedules and program framework so coaches are not left trying to build an entire program on their own.
Teach the Game
Our programs give coaches the opportunity to work on volleyball fundamentals while allowing players to put those skills into action.
Make an Impact
For many TVL athletes, you may be the coach who helps them finally understand a skill, gain confidence or decide they want to keep playing.
Volleyball Knowledge Matters. How You Teach It Matters More.

Understands volleyball fundamentals and can demonstrate proper technique.
Can explain skills in ways young players can understand.
Is patient with beginners while still challenging developing athletes.
Creates a positive, respectful and encouraging environment.
Is dependable, prepared and communicates professionally with TVL staff and families.

We're Looking for Coaches With Experience.

Experience coaching within an organized youth, school, club, recreational, collegiate or comparable volleyball program.
Strong knowledge of volleyball fundamentals, positions, rotations, rules and team systems.
Ability to independently organize and lead productive practices and skill-development sessions.

What Our Coaches Do
Help athletes learn proper passing, setting, serving, hitting, movement and court positioning.
Keep practices organized, active and focused on player development.
Encourage athletes while helping them understand what they can improve next.
Help players communicate, rotate, support one another and understand how volleyball works as a team sport.
Use scrimmages as another opportunity to teach, correct and reinforce what athletes are learning.
Help maintain the welcoming, organized and respectful environment we expect at every program.
What We Ask From You
Be dependable. Players and families are counting on you.
Be prepared. Come ready to teach and make productive use of the athletes' court time.
Be professional. Coaches represent TVL while interacting with players, parents, officials, facilities and staff.
Put development first. Winning can be fun. Learning how to play the game correctly comes first.
