The mission of Monster Athlete Juniors is to fully equip coaches and young athletes to excel in competitive volleyball.

Who we are

Monster Athlete Juniors is a training organization that takes a traditional approach to teaching and instruction following the model used by USA Volleyball. Coaching Director Howard Vernick is CAP II certified by USAV and has been active in coaching and teaching competitive volleyball for the past 3 decades. Coach Vernick’s experience includes varsity high school coaching, club coaching and directing, and three state championship wins.

Monster Athlete Juniors focuses on excellence in execution and raising the athlete IQ. This includes a strong emphasis on teaching proper ball-handling techniques, court responsibilities throughout all the transition elements of the game, and strategies that provide an edge against even the toughest opponents.

MAJ offers private and group instruction, team clinics/camps, and coach’s training. MAJ also offers on-line mentoring/coaching. MAJ operates in the greater Phoenix area as well as Prescott, AZ. We will also come to your facility. Our teaching and coach mentoring services are scheduled by appointment. Coach Vernick can be reached at 610-730-6484 by call or text, and at juniorsusa@aol.com.
