Jill Coil is a passionate volleyball advocate, accomplished attorney, and the founder of VIP Volleyball Academy in North Texas. A proud Utah native, Jill was an All-State high school volleyball player and a varsity letterman who competed at the club level with Players Volleyball Club in Orem, Utah. She continued her athletic journey at Snow College, where she played collegiate volleyball before pursuing her legal career.

Professionally, Jill is a respected lawyer and entrepreneur. She is the owner and founder of CoilLaw LLC, Moxie Law LLC, and SimpleEnding.com, combining her legal expertise with a drive to make impactful change.

After relocating to North Texas and watching her daughter play club volleyball, Jill saw firsthand the challenges many clubs faced. While physical training was emphasized, mental and emotional development was often overlooked. This realization led her to launch VIP (Volleyball Impact Performance) Academy.

At VIP, Jill’s mission is to empower girls not just as athletes—but as confident, resilient leaders. VIP focuses on developing the whole player—physically, mentally, and emotionally—to prepare them not just for competition, but for life.

With more than 35 years of international coaching experience, Mauro Grasso is widely regarded as one of the most respected and accomplished volleyball minds in the world.

Born and raised in Brazil, Mauro began his journey as a player, competing at the highest professional level in one of the most competitive volleyball nations in the world. His transition into coaching quickly revealed what would become his defining strength: the ability to develop players and coaches at every stage of the game, from youth athletes to Olympians and professional champions.

Mauro’s coaching career has spanned Brazil, Italy, Qatar, Puerto Rico, and beyond. He has coached Olympians in both beach and indoor volleyball and has led professional teams to championships across multiple leagues and continents.

His accomplishments include serving as Assistant Coach for the Brazilian Women’s National Team from 1989 to 1990, earning 2nd place at the Hitachi Tournament in Japan, 2nd place at the South American Games, and 3rd place at the Goodwill Games in Spokane, USA. As Assistant Coach for Sadia Esporte Clube from 1987 to 1990, he helped capture three consecutive São Paulo State Championships, Brazilian National Championships, and South American Championships in 1988, 1989, and 1990.

As Head Coach in Italy from 1991 to 1995, Mauro led teams to a 3rd place finish in the Italian Championship A2 in Campobasso, a B2 Vice Championship in Urbino, and a 5th place finish in the Italian Championship A1 in Fano. In Brazil and Puerto Rico, he achieved multiple São Paulo State titles, 3rd place finishes in the Brazilian Superleague for both men and women, podium finishes in the Puerto Rico Men’s Championship, and a U17 Jeep Cup Championship in San Juan.

While championships define his résumé, player development defines his legacy.

In every program Mauro has been a part of, his primary focus has been long-term athlete growth. He has built systems that emphasize technical mastery, tactical intelligence, discipline, and mental toughness from a young age. Many of the athletes he has trained as juniors have gone on to compete professionally, represent national teams, and succeed at the collegiate level around the world.

His rare ability to understand the entire developmental pathway, from foundational fundamentals to elite professional performance, allows him to teach the game with clarity, progression, and purpose. He does not simply coach teams. He builds players.

Equally impactful is Mauro’s dedication to mentoring coaches. Throughout his career, he has invested significant time in educating and developing coaching staffs within every organization he has served. From grassroots clubs to professional programs, he has helped coaches elevate their technical knowledge, tactical systems, long-term planning, culture-building strategies, and leadership skills.

Mauro regularly consults with national and professional teams worldwide via video conference, offering strategic analysis and technical guidance. He has led countless international camps and coaching clinics, sharing advanced methodologies and insights accumulated across four continents. A lifelong student of sport, he continually collaborates with some of the greatest minds in volleyball and other disciplines to remain at the forefront of the game.

Ryan Coil is a lifelong athlete, mentor, and co-founder of VIP Volleyball Academy. A Dallas, Texas native, Ryan grew up immersed in competitive sports and played basketball at The Colony High School, where he shared the court with standout players. In addition to basketball, Ryan also played tennis and ran cross country, lettering in all three sports during his high school career. 

 Although he had the talent and drive to pursue collegiate athletics, Ryan chose a different path—dedicating himself to a career in medicine. His passion for helping others and making a lasting impact has guided both his professional life and his role as a youth sports leader. 

 Now, as a parent and advocate for youth development, Ryan brings that same passion to VIP Volleyball Academy, which he co-founded with his wife, Jill. After watching his daughter navigate the club volleyball world, Ryan recognized that many programs fail to support young athletes emotionally and mentally—focusing only on performance. 

 At VIP, Ryan is committed to changing that. His mission is to help young women excel both on and off the court, ensuring they grow into confident, capable leaders. VIP stands for Volleyball Impact Performance—but to Ryan, it also stands for values, integrity, and purpose.
