Our Team

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.

It is truly my passion to help bridge the gap between colleges and potential student- athletes. With 2.5 million volleyball player nationwide and constant recruiting rule changes, it is my hope that these events will put athletes directly in front of colleges who are actively recruiting.
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.
