Dave Prichard
head Coach - EDGE 17
CLUB DIRector                     

Dave Prichard has a passion to grow volleyball in his community. He wants people to fall in love with the game as much as he does. Dave creates his practices to be an outlet for athletes to get away from the real world for a couple hours and clear their minds and have fun. He cares a ton about his coaching staff and players each year. He feels a lot of lessons can be learned throughout a season of playing for him, even if they aren’t learned in the time frame of that season. 

Dave has been involved with volleyball since he started playing his sophomore year of high school. Once he graduated, his high school coach asked him to join as a volunteer assistant for the boys program where he helped claim 2 county titles in his 2 years tenure.
