About
Our Passion.
Our Mission.
Kaylee Manns
Head Coach
I believe in giving kids opportunities through sports. Volleyball blessed me with opportunities to educate myself, to grow as a young woman, and. to travel the world. ADVNC is our way to help others take their next step whatever that might be. I’m passionate about what I do and I’m grateful to do it with excellent people.
We will provide top-notch events with athletes and their families in mind. The recruiting process can be stressful, we will aim to provide value and guidance for all athletes.
