American Athlete informational guide: American Athlete
American Athlete is the evolution of USA Michigan Volleyball which was co-founded by Rob and Jackie Buck in the summer of 1994. USA Michigan Volleyball was the first age group instructional, travel team and coach development program to establish training centers throughout the state of Michigan.
Rob has been coaching professionally for over 35 years at the high school, club, university, national and international levels.
Jackie is an accomplished elite level athlete winning a variety of championships at the high school, club and intercollegiate levels. She represented the United States of America as an athlete at the World University Games and earned and was awarded the honor of CVCA (now AVCA) All American.
As USA Michigan Volleyball developed it's partnership with the USA Volleyball High Performance summer camp programs, the new organizational name of American Athlete was chosen to better represent national and international program outreach.
The mission of Ameican Athlete is to design, develop and facilitate age group programs, projects and events that further advance the growth of the great sport of volleyball! American Athlete is also a brand ambassador for the world class equipment companies of Mizuno and Molten.
