General Questions
We think there are so many great coaches out there and you should find the right fit!! At RÄKI, we do lessons almost 365 days of the year (minus major holidays). Lessons are our masterpiece! Our pride and joy is seeing you grow into the athletes you dream to be.
What makes RÄKI different is that we ARE NOT a club and our everyday focus is on helping each athlete through their own unique volleyball journey. We ARE NOT here to judge but to meet you wherever you are at on any given day and help you grow! Our athletes love that they can explore their strengths and master their weaknesses without the fear of losing on playing time.
We have worked with a broad range of athletes and have had over 60 commitments! We have worked and continue to work with all ages, levels, body types, mentalities, you name it. Each lesson is specifically tailored to you! So whether this is the first year you're picking up a volleyball or are headed to play collegiately or are an adult athlete dusting off the gym bag, RÄKI is the place for you (:
You are NOT just a transaction and this is NOT just a lesson! When you book a lesson with us, you're part of the RÄKI family! We are very dedicated and are here for your volleyball and life journey!! We can't wait to see you in our gym!
It's super easy! Book your lesson by clicking the button below!

If a date/time you'd like to book is unavailable, you can always join the waitlist!
Here's how it works:
Step 1: Join the waitlist Step 2: You'll be notified via email and SMS when a spot opens up (RÄKI App user? You'll get a push notification too!) You'll have 1 hour to claim that spot before it moves to the next athlete on the list Step 3: Upon accepting the spot, your card will be charged and you are officially booked in
Please use the hour to double check your schedule(s) as the cancellation policy goes into effect after Step 3!
We are very confident in what we do. We dedicate lots of time mastering our craft and everyone at RÄKI is passionate about what they do! (from schedulers and operations, to coaches and the actual lesson).
RÄKI is an investment and we always want the best for you, your son/daughter/family, and really just the well being of a young athlete and what they have to go through throughout their career. If you are ever unhappy with your lesson, please reach out at (949) 614-2081 or email us at hello@rakivolleyball.com.
We always want you to be 100% satisfied with your lesson. If you are not 100% satisfied with your lesson, we ask that you contact us within 3 days of your lesson to discuss further steps.
It's totally up to you! We recommend to get on a weekly schedule! We see the most improvement in our athletes that come in at least once a week. The consistency allows us to help plan out your journey to reach your goals. You will see tremendous improvement when you are on a schedule versus having one-off lessons here and there.
If you have tryouts/tournaments coming up or anything else with high stakes, we suggest ramping up on lessons so that you feel confident going in. Need help with timing? Struggling with nerves? Talk to us and let us help! During these times, athletes will usually do 2+ lessons a week.
Holidays/Breaks: Take advantage and get your lessons in! We love having our out-of-towners come and get as many lessons in before going back home. This is a really good time to put in the work! It keeps you exercising, confident, and practiced up for when you go back to club or school volleyball.
Yes we do! You are in charge of bringing in another teammate. A semi-private is 2 athletes with 1 coach. This is very different than a 1-on-1 lesson where you work strictly on what you want to work on. So, it is important that the person you bring aligns with your goals and skill level.
For example, if you are a setter and want to set a hitter but the person you bring is not a good hitter then would you really be getting what you want out of the lesson? Or if you are driven and you bring someone who is not... this could bring your game down or distract you. For semi's we suggest that you always strive to bring someone that will push you to be better.
We absolutely love semi-privates when they make sense and benefit both athletes!
**If you're looking for a group lesson (3 or more athletes with 1 coach), please contact the RAKI Admin at (949) 614-2081.
