2024 Clinic w/ William Paterson and New York University

Dear Players and Parents,
We have a special Volleyball clinic opportunity Saturday April 6 th from 9:00am-12:00pm for girls
featuring NYU Head Coach, Andrew Brown and William Paterson University Head Coach, Kevin
Rodgers. Both coaches, along with at least one other college coach (Depending on numbers)
will be stopping by our gym in North Haledon to run a semi-private clinic with a 30 min recruiting
talk at the end. The clinic is being capped at the first 32 players and will take place on two
courts. The clinic is open to all ages and will introduce players to NYU and college branded volleyball. Similar clinics have typically filled up in about two weeks.
The three hours will be broken up into two parts. The first breakout being position based and the
second breakout will be team offense/defense. For the second part, players will rotate courts
and get each college coaches unique perspective on how they coach their college programs.

January 2018. His teams have posted a .786 winning percentage at NYU.

He also finished the season in the NCAA Final Four two years in a row. Brown was named AVCA Region 4 Coach of the year for the second year in a row. His player, Grace Nelson, was named the national Rookie of the Year in 2023 and he has coached several All-Americans throughout the last few years. He has also won his conference
