Coach Ivory is the founder of S.W.A.G. Her vision is to build a volleyball club that will provide players with a strong foundation in their ability to not only play volleyball, but ground them in strength and character, while preparing them for higher levels of the game.  

Coach Ivory is from a small town in Wedowee, Alabama, and understands the necessity of having an affordable, creative sports option for young girls.  After years of playing high-school volleyball and having the volleyball player experience on a collegiate level, she stepped away to begin coaching. 

For 12 years,  Coach Ivory has coached volleyball on just about all levels from recreational to high-school.  She is excited to bring her vision, S.W.A.G. Volleyball Club, to life.  It is here to stay and give back. 

“I’m in it for the kids, I want them to know when times get tough you can turn to the court rather than turn to the streets. I feel as though for every hour my team and I have players on the court,  that’s one more hour we are possibly saving lives.”- Coach Nicole Ivory
