The Board of Directors consists of a Club Director, Treasurer, Coaching Coordinator, Tournament Coordinator, Travel Coordinator, Head Parent Rep, coaches and several parent representatives. The Board of Directors handle the affairs and direction of Pace Bootlegger. In addition, teams have parent support groups that assist with fundraising, budgeting, travel arrangements and chaperoning. Parent commitment and support are essential to the overall foundation of the club. Parents are encouraged to travel and participate as much as possible.

Each team has a dedicated coach or coaches, who determine who will play and in what positions. Our coaching staff is comprised of volunteers who love the sport of volleyball. Most have played at the collegiate level and some professionally. Others currently coach college and high school teams. They are all committed to the training, safety and development of your son.
