We would like to welcome Ping Cao to our TAV family!

Ping has spent the last 10 years training Sports Performance Elite Teams winning multiple National Championships and training hundreds of D1 players including multiple All-Americans. Ping began his career in the Republic of China, playing on the Chinese National Team while being named the “best hitter in the world”. His coaching stints also include coaching the Republic of China National Team, assisting Ari Sellinger on the USPL top team, college camps and clinics as well as junior volleyball. Ping is considered one of the premier trainers in the United States and will be offering clinics and private lessons along with his TAV coaching duties. Please say hello to Ping when you see him in the gym and welcome him to what we consider the number one club in the US!

If you are looking for a way to improve your program, how about hiring one of the best technical trainers in the United States. Call John Sample 214-202-8446 to schedule lessons with Ping!
