Filip Kaminski

Hello Academy Parents and Players,

My name is Filip Kaminski. This is my 3rd season as a Head Coach for Academy of Volleyball. After eight years of coaching youth, elite professional, and national teams in Poland, I decided to gather and share my experience in California.

I started volleyball as a player when I was nine years old. After 10 years on the court, I went back to volleyball but in a different light- as a Coach. In 2016 I was a coaching staff member for the U16 and U18 Polish Women’s National Team. Since then, I have earned 8 National Championship medals 16’s and 18’s Open Division, 3 of which are gold.

My philosophy of coaching young players mainly focuses on cultivating joy for the sport and teaching them strong fundamentals. To achieve this goal, I work to find ways and approaches personalized to each player to ensure they come to every practice session with a huge smile. Mutual support, trust, healthy relationships, solving conflict, and cultivating joy are what I find the most essential in a successful team.

I am beyond grateful for this awesome opportunity! See you soon on the court.
