Coaching Staff: Volleyball teaches patience, teamwork, working with those you may not like, dealing with succezz and failure, and the importance of dedication and hard work. Our camps have a responsibility to see that our camper athletes learn these major life skills through their participation in the sport. Our coaches help campers recognize these skills through evaluations and one-on-one feedback. Young athletes need to know where they are improving and where they need more improvement. By giving honest feedback about performance, personality, and attitude, your children will learn to see the whole picture and not just their volleyball skills.
General Skills - Volleyball Camps: Nike volleyball camps are open to players of all ability levels. Here you’ll master the fundamentals, develop proper mechanics and gain game play experience. Every aspect of the game is covered throughout our Nike volleyball camps, giving you a solid skill foundation to build upon after camp.

HEAD VOLLEYBALL PRO - CLINT WHELAN
Clint Whelan enters his first season as the Head Men’s and Women’s Volleyball Coach at Newbury. Whelan brings a wealth of experience in the sport of volleyball to Newbury after previously serving an Assistant Women’s Volleyball Coach at Division II Adelphi University in his home state of New York.
While at Adelphi, Whelan was responsible for constructing daily practices and individual workouts for the women’s spring season in addition to recruiting potential student-athletes on a daily basis. On the court, he specialized in the coaching of setters as well as provided assistance to in-game strategy.
Prior to Adelphi, he spent a year as an Assistant Women’s Volleyball Coach at NAIA’s Webber International University in Babson Park, Fla. In addition to assisting in Webber’s recruiting efforts and organizing practices and other team related activities, Whelan helped manage the athletic budget alongside the Athletic Director and Head Volleyball Coach.
Whelan began his coaching career with the Long Island Volleyball Club where he spent two years as the Head Coach of the Junior Olympic Team, recruiting top Long Island talent to train and compete for the opportunity to go to nationals in Kentucky, before moving on to Ward Melville High School, where he coached 2011 Newbury graduate Michael Biuso.
Whelan graduated from Rivier College in Nashua, N.H. with a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Management in the winter of 2008. At Rivier, he helped the Raiders to two Northeast Collegiate Volleyball Association (NECVA) New England titles and an ECAC Championship in addition to a GNAC title.
Most recently, the Ravens’ resurgence continued in 2011, as Dragan guided the team to a 13-13 mark, which included a 7-8 record in Northeast-10 play, both figures marking the high-water mark for her in Rindge thus far. The team finished ninth in the Conference, one lone game from qualifying for the eight-team Northeast-10 Championship in the 16-team Conference. The squad, which featured no seniors nor juniors, clearly set the table for a potential return to the postseason in 2012.
Dragan amassed 13 years of head coaching experience before coming to Rindge, the last four of which came at the Division I level for Western Carolina University. Before that, she spent seven very successful seasons at NCAA Division III Centre College, in Danville, Ky., where she compiled an overall record of 159-107 (.598). Prior to Centre, she posted a 30-30 (.500) record in two years during her first head coaching position at Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Ga., from 1996-97.
Dragan is a 1994 graduate of Shawnee State University, in Portsmouth, Ohio, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in social science and was a standout setter on the Bears volleyball team. Dragan earned her Masters of Sport Science from the United States Sports Academy in 2008. She is an active member of the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA), is IMPACT certified and is a graduate of the NCAA Women’s Coaches Academy. She has also served as an assistant coach for the USA Developmental Team as part of the 2008 Global Challenge held in Puola, Croatia.
