Coach Andrew Botsford - 14 Purple

I am excited and ready to begin my first season coaching club volleyball at Oklahoma Premier. I’ve been coaching girls soccer for the last 13 years here in Norman, and have a deep passion for youth sports and the value that it brings. My goal with each player is to instill in them the fundamentals of the game while also helping them grow in their confidence as a player and as a person through being pushed and challenged in an encouraging environment. I believe in allowing space for players to be creative within the game, and not ever letting the fear of making a mistake be something that holds a player back from reaching their potential. I’m excited for a great season and ready to get to work!
My wife Sarah and I have 3 kids, 13, 17 and 19. I work as an outside salesman for a electrical distributor in Oklahoma City, and when I’m not working or coaching you can find me fishing or grilling out with the family!

Coach Matthew Brimer - 14 Purple / 16 Purple

For several years, Coach Matthew Brimer has coached ages 5-18+ for Premier’s Youth League. His background is in officiating, and he has loved volleyball from an early age, even though it wasn’t available to boys where he grew up. In club, he has coached 13s and assistant coach 15s and believes every moment matters on and off the court. He strives to create an environment where players can reach their full potential while building character, resilience, and teamwork skills that last a lifetime. This means fostering a positive team culture, emphasizing personal responsibility, and teaching players to set and achieve meaningful goals. Through volleyball, we learn to communicate effectively, handle pressure, and support one another – skills that translate to success in all areas of life. Coach Brimer's passion is developing well-rounded athletes who love the game, embrace challenges, grow as individuals, and uses a coaching philosophy called the F.A.I.T.H. system.
Fight for each other and every ball, but never with each
Accountability for our actions and outcomes
Integrity in all that we do and how we represent ourselves and our club
Teamwork makes the dream work
Hustle on every play, and every time we step on the court.

I am so pumped to be coaching for such an awesome group of coaches and players. I look forward to creating memories and experiences with each and every person I come in contact with through the great sport that we all love. Volleyball isn’t about the wins and losses but about the way God’s light shines through on and off the court. “When you’re all in, there is no limit to what God can accomplish through you.”
I am also mom to a three-year-old boy who already loves being at the gym.

Coach Faith Davis - 12 National

This is my second-year coaching 12 National at OK Premier! I played my last few years of club volleyball at Premier and was able to take it a step further and am currently playing at Rose State College. I fell in love with the game fairly early on in life and have been passionate ever since. I have such a love for coaching the younger players because I love seeing them grow, not only as athletes but as people as well. I started playing volleyball at 10 years old, and had amazing people lead me & guide me throughout not only the sport, but life as well. I love teaching the basic fundamentals that these players will take on with them throughout their entire volleyball career.
When it comes to this sport, I like to focus heavily on work ethic & hustle. Skill will follow as long as your mindset and effort is already planted. Volleyball can be a very mental game, so it’s important to keep it enjoyable!
God has blessed me immensely with this opportunity, and I can’t wait for another season with an awesome group.

Since the beginning of this year, I’ve been coaching youth league volleyball, building on several years of coaching experience in football and basketball. My involvement in coed volleyball leagues has only fueled my passion for the game and given me valuable insights into coaching.
I take pride in having an adaptive coaching style, adjusting my methods to bring out the best in each athlete. I believe flexibility is key to helping athletes grow both individually and as a team. I'm also committed to their safety and well-being, holding certifications in Impact, CPR/First Aid, and SafeSport, and I’m a proud member of USA Volleyball (USAV).

Being head coach of 14 Purple was such a great experience, taking my team to Gold at Regionals my first season coaching was so rewarding. Being able to guide, teach and be a role model to my players has only made me even more passionate about the sport. I absolutely love watching my players grow as amazing individuals on and off the court. Can't wait to see what this next season has in store!
