"We had an amazing first year experience playing for SC Elite.  The training level was much higher than any we had experienced locally and Jonathan and his coaches brought their authentic love of playing and competing to every practice.  Our team received national recognition unlike any other team from Charleston that I am aware of, but more importantly, there was zero drama, a strong club culture and the girls cannot wait to get back in the gym together to train for next season.  Jonathan and Shayne were always available for extra reps with access to a great facility 24 hours a day.  The exposure our team received playing at the Open level in national qualifiers was incredible with our court surrounded by 20-30 D1 coaches watching simultaneously.  If your daughter is serious about playing at the next level and is willing to put the work in, SC Elite is the place!" - Eric Strickland

 

"SC Elite really made a significant impact in supporting these girls' development and opportunities. They truly went the extra mile by providing resources and opportunities for them to shine at a national level. It's inspiring to see such dedication and commitment to helping young athletes reach their potential!" - Lori Seifert

 

"What an amazing experience at SC Elite this year!  Jonathan and his staff have committed to creating a great culture surrounded by authentic coaching, encouraging healthy lifestyle habits, engaging and demanding training, and FUN.  Our daughter has had more exposure on the national level than any other year she has played.  No team drama and the girls are genuinely excited for each other and all the successes that they worked hard for.   SC Elite is building something wonderful and glad my daughter can be a part of its legacy for Charleston volleyball!" - Katie Bell

 

"Thank you SC Elite, Coach Jonathan and all the Coaches for a great season! This was a first year blended team of very talented 2026 prospects! The team grew after each  practice and tournament. SC Elite provided the skills training necessary to play in the Open division and tournament selection was unmatched in the community.  Go SC Elite" - Patti Blackstock

 

"My daughter, Grayson, had an amazing experience playing on the 16U Elite team!  Coach Jonathan, Coach Shayne, and Coach Audrey were so instrumental in the growth of my daughter and truly cared about her.  All three coaches were very invested in her training, skill set, recruitment, and being the best player she could be on and off the court.  The exposure to college coaches by playing in the open division at tournaments was excellent.  The team camaraderie and coaching were the best she's experienced on a club/ travel team.  All of this has set her up for success in playing at the next level.  SC Elite is an amazing club!" - Jennifer Massey

 

"My daughter has had a great experience playing club volleyball at SC Elite.  The gym is amazing and the training is top-notch.  The coaches care about the girls and the culture is very positive.  My daughter’s team improved immensely this year playing at the highest level.   Their team had many Division 1 coaches give the same feedback.  Great club!" - Kim Strickland

“Coach Brady was instrumental in my athletic and personal development.  He fueled my passion for the game as well as improved my skills.  I had the opportunity to play for Brady during my career at Niagara University and we have since stayed in close contact.  He provided me personal attention and helped me become a smarter hitter, teaching me how to outsmart the opposing defense with various shots.  He truly cares about every one of his players and wants to see them excel both on and off the court.  I’ve experienced a plethora of coaches in my 11 years of playing volleyball and Coach Bready stands out as one of the more qualified, committed and caring coaches.  He positively influences players both athletically and personally through his leadership, positive attitude, knowledge of the game and his drive to make each player the best they can be.”

Rylee Hunt - Niagara University, NCAA Division I, Libero

“The year Coach Brady came to coach at Niagara University was definitely a turning point for our program, which we owe him a lot of credit. For me personally, he definitely helped me better my play both physically and mentally. That season I was awarded the MAAC Libero of the Year award, which I owe him a lot of credit. He also helped me a lot in the off season with a lot of one on one help, which is where I definitely believe I took my game to an entirely new level. As a team, we made it to the MAAC championship tournament where we knocked off the reigning MAAC champions. He brought a lot of fun and energy to our program and we were definitely sad to see him go but happy to see him further his coaching career.”

“Jonathan coached me for 2 years and I loved every second of it. Jonathan is the kind of coach I have been lucky to have. He is someone who has held me accountable but has also kept his cool and is a fun coach to be around. He encourages us to always work hard and do our best even when the conditions are tough. He’s been a coach I can go to with anything and he is able to answer any question I have. I’ve been lucky to not only call him one of the best coaches I’ve ever had but a friend and coach for life!”

Abi Leitner - University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown

“I began playing for Coach Brady through the Colorado Elite Beach Program in 2017. I learned better from him than I did most Coaches because of how personable and dedicated he is to the game. The amount of knowledge he has about the game of volleyball is wild, I was constantly on my toes, eager to hear what new tidbits of information he had for me and my teammates. I had gotten used to the same drills and corrections from most of my previous coaches but Coach Brady came to so many practices and tournaments with brand new skills and breakdowns that I hadn’t been exposed to before. This grew my love for the game and intensified my drive to get better every time I stepped on the court. I would never have been the beach or indoor player that I am now without Coach Brady helping me grow so much through the 2 years with him as my coach.”
