More About Coach Etsuko

I've been private coach for the past 4 years. I also coached at Goldwater High School, and coached for the Ultimate Volleyball Club Team. I can work with all age groups, from Beginners to High School Player who want to take they skills to the next level.
I am CPR and Concussion Certified. I've also been Background checked by Deer Valley School District.

I have over 30 years of volleyball experience. I began playing competitive volleyball in elementary school in Japan. I continued playing all the way through High School. I was then recruited into a Semi-Professional League in Japan. After coming to the States with my husband, I continue playing competitively, on women's and Coed teams in A and B levels.

The sessions I plan depends on what you need. I bring the "Japanese" method of training, speed, agility and motivation
We will work on foot work and body position (you cannot receive the ball if you cannot get to it) I'm a firm believer in this. My drills and techniques will get you where you want to be. I will concentrate on making you an all around player, but I can tailor your training to the position you want to play. Plan on being worked, we will maximize our time in order for you to get the best possible outcome. Note: Only players with POSITIVE ATTITUDES, OPEN MINDS, and READY TO TRAIN. It's your money and time....don't waste it. (PLEASE NOTE: FACILITY COST ARE NOT INCLUDED. We have been having our Sessions at American Sports Center) THANK YOU.

This was a great experience for our daughter.

Coach Etsuko has been a wonderful and refreshing coach to my 12 yr old. The one-on-one lessons are invaluable - so much progress is made in each session. I love Coach Etsuko's approach - if my daughter can't quite grasp a concept, Coach will explain it in as many different ways as needed until it clicks. Highly recommend!

I booked 3 sessions with Coach Etsuko Bain and let me tell you..my daughter loved it! We will definitely be booking more sessions..I love how experienced she is and how well she manages the time of her sessions ..Coach was able to work on my daughters major issues…we are excited for the lesson to come!!👏🏼👍🏼

My daughter Katelyn enjoyed her first session, she noted Coach Etsuko was able to pick up on the things she needed to tweak with her sets, and hits, she really enjoyed her coaching style and the step by step training. We look forward to our next sessions this week.

The coach is wonderful. After 2 sessions we saw a great improvement in my daughter’s serving. Signing up to do more sessions. Very much worth the extra money for private lessons.

I was impressed with Coach Etsuko's ability to break down the game technically. She connected with my daughter and she immediately asked if we could schedule another lesson right away.

Our 12 year old had a wonderful experience with Coach Etsuko. She very quickly dissected our daughters skills and then went to work with some very effective drills. Coach Etsuko also has great energy during a session and is extremely positive!

Coach Etsuko is an awesome trainer. Her sessions are fast paced and intense. She's helped to expand my game by working on all aspects of play. From Setting to passing as well as serving. I highly recommend her! Thank you Coach!

My daughter enjoyed her lesson, and was pleased with the advice that was given. She said the tips were helpful. She’s looking forward to practicing the lessons learned and wanted to set up another lesson.

She did a great job dialing in on form which really helped our player excel. She had quite a few drills that really seemed to help. Our son made the varsity team no doubt because of the extra practice in just a few sessions with her.

Coach Etsuko is very patient and motivational with her coaching. She teaches how to do things right and safely, versus just going through the motions. We are very happy with our daughter is learning.

She trains with the best techniques and works on strength which is the best part

Coach Etsuko help my granddaughter tremendously. In her very next game, I could see how the coach improved her blocking and hitting. Thanks, coach!

Coach Etsuko met my daughter for the first time and really worked with her the entire hour on the fundamentals. She even brought props to help her with the serve receive.. We are planning to use her in the future.

Coach Etsuko is such a positive coach! My daughter Madison had her first volleyball session this past week and she really liked working with her. Coach Etsuko gave her good tips to work on at home as well as on the court. Madison looks forward to going back with her.

The first session my daughter had with coach Etsuko was impressive. She quickly assessed areas my daughter needs help in an began working on them right away. My daughter is eager to work with her again. One of the best coaching experiences she has had.

Coach Etsuko is Amazing!! I have tried to find a coach for my daughter for some time now and just didn't feel a good fit with any of them, that all changed when we found this app and Coach Etsuko. She quickly identified problem areas and started to improve them right away. She is very knowledgeable and professional, we can't wait for our daughters next lesson tomorrow. I know that this will make a big difference!

Wonderful teacher! She is very enthusiastic and she worked hard to get the best out of my daughter! Highest recommendation!

Coach Etsuko is simply fantastic!!She immediately identified what the main problem was with our girls and has been able to focus on it during sessions!!She is intense and focused in the best possible way and both our girls are working harder than ever!!Will definitely recommend her to any parent out there and will keep coming back as much as needed!Now on to practicing little exercise to loosen up for a better swing and hit at home!!

Coach Etsuko was great. She pushed my daughter and taught her stuff, that my daughter thought she already knew. I would definitely recommend Coach Etsuko excellent excellent coach.

Coach Etsuko is very knowledgeable of the game and pleasant to be around. Her attention to detail is very helpfull for my daughter who is just in her first year, We will be back!

My daughter has been playing club volleyball for 2 years. From the beginning, Coach Etsuko identified areas of improvement and gave her great tips to improve her game. Coach Etsuko is very technical and explained things in a way my daughter could understand. Not only is she very knowledgeable, she is also very agreeable to work with. We will be back!

Coach Etsuko is a great teacher of volleyball and the mechanics of the sport. She helped my daughter understand what are the proper techniques to be working on and help correct bad habits as well. I was a little apprehensive about using this CoachUp site, but after meeting coach Etsuko and how she worked with my daughter in the first ten minutes I knew we had made an excellent choice of a coach. My daughter is pretty good player on her club team already but we are always looking to improve and have some sort of advantage and this is that edge we were looking for. My daughter can't wait for her next lesson. If there were a volleyball whisperer coach Etsuko would be that person.

My daughter met with Coach Etsuko for the first time yesterday and even though my daughter was not feeling well - it was a great session. Areas of improvement were already determined and she is one her way to the next level of playing. Coach Etsuko is so enthusiastic and her love for volleyball really shows. Looking forward to many more coaching session with this Coach!

Coach Etsuko was just what my daughter needed. My daughter is a beginner and on a 13 white team. She could not serve which was the most important thing to be able to do on her team. I booked one session and she came out smiling, more confident and ready to practice. The simple way the coach explains and demonstrates is worth the drive, which was about 45 minutes for me. I would definitely book her again.

Coach Etsuko, is very knowledgeable and very technically sound. She will teach you the little things that will improve your game that other coaches do not. She knows vollleyball and gets the best out of the athlete. I will recommend her to other athletes looking to improve their game.

My daughter worked with Coach Bain while we were visiting near Phoenix. I can say, without question, that her volleyball training sessions are some of the best we have experienced. My daughter benefited greatly, and we are looking forward to working with Coach Bain in the future.

Coach Etsuko was incredible with her attention to detail, ability to see where my daughter needs work and providing her with the feedback and techniques necessary to improve her game. It was a very active lesson that kept her attention and provided great advice, tips and practice exercises.

Coach Etsuko is phenomenal. My daughter was asked to be a setter on a 16s club team for a tournament & she has always been a libero. Coach Etsuko came to the rescue!! She really helped my daughter prepare...in only 3 sessions! Not only did she help her, she came and watched her. The parents on the team couldn't believe my daughter had never set, and her team coach was thrilled. My daughter played the entire tournament, for 2 days and did so well!! So grateful we found Coach Etsuko!!

I cannot even begin to describe the among of improvement my daughter had with just one lesson. My daughter is 8 and has never played. I signed her up with a city league and she was really struggling. She never had a successful bump or serve. She worked with Coach Etsuko on Monday and by her game Tuesday she returned everything 5hat came her way. She even served overhand in the game. It was a complete shock to everyone in the stands and her coach to watch her improvement in the one week since they're last game. I was a little nervous at first, because it was obvious that Coach Etsuko works with much more experienced players, but she was great with my daughter. She had fun, but worked every minute of the session. I am so thankful for what she did for my daughter!

Coach Etsuko was great !!! Communication and booking the appointment was very simple and quick. Coach Etsuko taught my daughter different techniques to improve her performance. I would definitely recommend her.

If you're looking for a great volleyball coach, look no further! Coach Etsuko immediately targeted some problem areas in my daughter's techniques. Coach Etsuko demands full participation and hard work so be ready and be engaged. I knew we found a gem when my daughter asked if we could schedule more training with Coach Etsuko. We will be back! Thank you Coach Etsuko.

She did a great job dialing in on form which really helped our player excel. She had quite a few drills that really seemed to help. Our son made the varsity team no doubt because of the extra practice in just a few sessions with her.
