Coaches

Coach Iggy discovered volleyball as a sophomore at Centennial High School, where he helped lead the boys volleyball program to its first CIF playoff appearance in 11 years. He later earned a full scholarship to the University of California, Irvine, graduating with a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.

In 2019, Coach Iggy founded Bravo Volleyball with a simple mission: to provide affordable, competitive, and life-changing opportunities for student-athletes who might not otherwise have access to club volleyball. Having experienced the sport's financial barriers firsthand, he built Bravo to ensure that talent and determination—not financial circumstances—would define an athlete's opportunities.

After multiple top regional and national finishes, Coach Iggy remains committed to developing not only skilled volleyball players but also confident young leaders who make a positive impact both on and off the court.

Coach Lexi has been an integral part of Bravo Volleyball since late 2020, playing a key role in the club's growth and the strong sense of community that defines the program today. Through her leadership and dedication, she has helped connect countless athletes and families with opportunities to grow both on and off the court.

As Bravo's Administrative Director, Coach Lexi oversees the day-to-day operations that keep the club running smoothly while also coaching several of Bravo's most competitive teams. Her passion for developing young athletes extends beyond volleyball, as she strives to create an environment where every player feels supported, challenged, and valued.

A lifelong Riverside-area resident, Coach Lexi is passionate about giving back to the community that helped shape her. As a mother, coach, and director, she is committed to building meaningful relationships with athletes and families while helping make Bravo Volleyball a place where players can develop confidence, character, and a lifelong love for the game.

Coach Ivan brings more than 18 years of coaching experience to Bravo Volleyball and has been a respected leader in the Inland Empire volleyball community throughout his career.

Coach Ivan mentored Coach Iggy during his time as his head coach at Centennial High School, cultivating and inspiring the creation of Bravo Volleyball Club.

As Bravo's Program Leader, Coach Ivan plays a vital role in supporting and developing our coaching staff. In addition to sharing his extensive volleyball knowledge, he serves as a mentor and resource for our coaches, fostering an environment of collaboration, communication, and continuous growth.
