Steve Hargrave - Head Coach: 15 MizunoEmail: billy4911@hotmail.com
Steve Hargrave walked across the street from his High School in McKinney in 1991 and picked up beach volleyball as a hobby. Since then, the game has held his facination in all of its aspects. That gives Steve 18 years of volleyball experience and 16 years in coaching it.
He made an effort to play in college, even though the beach court in McKinney wasn’t very highly recruited, and became instantly familliar with the college recruiting process. Making his own video and calling several coaches all over the country, he finally found a home at the University of La Verne in Orange County California. La Verne played in the Pac 10 and Steve played outside against UCLA, USC, UC San Diego, Peperdine, Univerity of Pacific, and Stanford among others. Several of his opponents went on to play for the US National Team.
While in California, he decided to walk to the nearby High School and ask if they needed help. A week later, he was the JV coach for Bonita High School. This began the transition of his love affair with the game to a love affair with coaching the game. It also launched his insatiable appatite for knowledge of coaching and of the game itself as the game transitioned to the introduction of the slide, the libero, let serves, and rally scoring.
When he returned to Texas the following year Steve was the captain of the Dallas Baptist University men’s club team and the team played in the Texas men’s collegiate club league. At this time, Steve began his Texas coaching carreer at Trinity Christian Academy and began coaching club with Dallas Summit, coaching a 15′s team for the young club. For the next five years, Steve coached with Dallas Summit at the 15′s level. Traveling all over the country and seeing many of his athletes go on to college scholarships with Division I, II, and III schools, he also finished in the gold bracket at ovef 80% of the qualifiers he went to.
During this time Steve became a varsity high school coach for the first time at First Baptist Academy winning over 50% of his matches with the program over a three year period for the first time in the school’s history. He spent one year coaching at the University of North Texas and playing for the men’s club team there. During this time, the Lady Eagles finished 5th in the conference tournament which was their highest finish at that point in ten years.
Steve moved to Arlington and took up residence at TAV and Ft. Worth Nolan Catholic school shortly after he graduated with his degree in Biblical Studies from the Criswell College. At TAV, Steve coached primarily in the 15′s age group qualifying 5 teams for nationals (4 of them through National Qualifiers), finishing in the Gold Bracket of the qualifiers he participated in over 90% of the time, finishing 3rd in the USAV National Tournament with the 152 team for TAV, and winnig the Lone Star Qualifier twice.
Looking for more, he moved back to the Plano area and came back home to Premier and led the 16 Mizuno team to a 5th place finish at the USAV Junior National Tournament in Miami. He has done over 2,000 lessons and has played and coached at some of the highest levels. However, he also recognizes the benifit of staying close to the fundamentals. He qualified TAV’s 13′s team his last year there and still has an affinity for spending time with the younger and lower level athletes. He is has been in charge of the camps at VIP for the past two years and has seen over 500 athletes come through the summer camp programs.
Locally, Steve has coached high school, college, club 13′s-18′s, camps, summer leagues, at Nationals, top 20 prospects, beginners, and other coaches. He has also been on the Junior Board of Directors for the North Texas Region for 3 years as the Vice President of Competition. In this capacity, as well as in his role at TAV and Dallas Premier, he has directed and run all levels of tournaments from one day events to power leage events and even the North Texas Regional Bid Tournament.
