Message from the volleyball coach
The future of Sun Devil Volleyball
When I arrived at Arizona State, I believed deeply in what this program could become. What has happened since is a credit to our student-athletes, our staff and the support of Sun Devil Nation. In a short time, we have built a championship culture, competed nationally and proven that Sun Devil Volleyball belongs among the best programs in the country.
The opportunity to build a permanent home for Sun Devil Volleyball would be transformational. It would give our student-athletes a space tailored to their growth, performance and well-being, while allowing us to continue attracting elite talent to Tempe.
This new facility is not simply about a building. It is about creating a daily championship environment — one where our athletes can train, learn, recover and compete at the highest level. It is about giving them a place that matches their commitment and reflects the pride of this university.
The trajectory of Sun Devil Volleyball has changed dramatically, and we are just getting started. With the right resources, we can continue to push the boundaries of what this program can achieve and cement Arizona State as a destination for the best volleyball student-athletes in the nation.
Thank you for believing in our vision and investing in the future of Sun Devil Volleyball.

This state-of-the-art facility will transform how our student-athletes train, prepare, and compete.
