About Alejandro de Mendoza – The Volleyball Coach

Hi, I’m Alejandro de Mendoza, founder of The Volleyball Coach, Club Director at Momentous Volleyball Club (Girls Volleyball) in Irvine, CA, and Head Coach at California Volleyball Club (Boys Volleyball). With over a decade of experience in the Southern California volleyball scene, I’ve dedicated my career to developing high-level athletes and helping players reach their full potential—technically, physically, and mentally.

I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of athletes, including youth, collegiate hopefuls, and professionals, as well as contributing to the U.S. Women’s National Team. These experiences have shaped my coaching philosophy: a strong foundation in fundamentals, relentless attention to detail, and an emphasis on high-performance habits both on and off the court.

I specialize in building complete players. My sessions are fast-paced, position-specific, and tailored to the athlete’s unique strengths, goals, and learning style. Whether you're prepping for high school or club tryouts, aiming to earn a college scholarship, or just want to take your game to the next level, I offer the structure and accountability needed to make it happen.

What I Offer:

  • Private 1-on-1 Lessons
    Skill-specific sessions designed to build confidence, sharpen technique, and improve game IQ.

  • Group Clinics (Hitting, Setting & Passing)
    High-energy training environments that deliver quality reps and game-like intensity—perfect for athletes looking to train with peers and push themselves.

  • Online Mentorship Program
    Includes virtual coaching calls, film review, mental performance training, and a personalized strength and conditioning program tailored to your position and goals.

My mission is simple: help every athlete I work with become a more skilled, confident, and mentally resilient version of themselves. If you're ready to train with intention and chase your goals, I’m here to coach you every step of the way.

Let’s build your game together.

– Alejandro
