Be Elite
Michigan Elite Volleyball Academy was established as a United States of America Volleyball Club (USAV) with the support of countless Southeastern Michigan area families who believed in the mission of developing young female athletes. Over the past several years, we have become the largest and most successful club in Michigan, consistently developing players at the highest levels of amateur volleyball competition. Our U-10 to U-18 teams compete locally, regionally and nationally. Our club provides an opportunity to further their experience and training in volleyball through instruction from qualified coaches in practice and increased competition in tournaments throughout the state, regionally and nationally.

WHY MI ELITE?
EST. 2010
"Instilling a culture of knowledge, discipline, commitment, determination, communication, hard work ethics and TEAM, into our kids. They also correct the kids when they are not doing something right. On average, there is a 10 to 1, student/coach ratio, during practices and games. My daughter is so into this game, I can tell her volleyball IQ and abilities are growing by the days."

WELCOME BACK‼️😄
We are so excited to announce the return of 2017 Alum, Madee Miner back to the gym. Madee will be joining us to assistant coach our 17 Mizuno team this season!🥳
Madee brings a strong knowledge of what it takes to win. In her prep career, Madee won two Class B State Championships & was named Thumb Player of the Year in 2016 with North Branch. Madee also aided multiple Mizuno teams to top National finishes, including a Top 5 Finish at USA Nationals her 18s year.
Madee went on to have a stellar career with Campbell University where she was a constant at the setter position. She would amass over 2,000 career assists and nearly 1,000 career digs. Madee also led the Camels to a 2021 Big South Conference title & NCAA Tournament berth, a first in program history for both!!💪🏽
Now coaching back home with North Branch, Madee was a part of the 2023 D2 Championship coaching staff and is looking to make it a third in a row for the Broncos!
We are so excited to you back in the gym, Madee!

We are so excited to announce the return of 2020 Alum, Emily Hagelthorn back to the gym. Emily will be joining us to coach our 15 National team this season!🥳
Mielite has always been known for our ability to train our first contact, and Emily is not only a clear example but will be an amazing addition to further honing those skills to our current and future athletes.
After Emily wrapped up a great prep career with MiElite & South Lyon East, she went on to be a crucial part of the Lake Superior State program. Appearing in close to every career match after her sophomore year, Emily racked up over 800 career digs throughout her four years at LSSU.
Emily now coaches at Troy Athens and will be a huge benefit to our program! We are so excited to have you back in the gym and leading our 15 National team, Emily!
Emily will also be joined by 2018 alum, Jenna Khoury as her assistant this season! The two are a warm welcome back & will be a great duo!

We are so excited to announce the return of 2018 Alum, Molly Johnson back to the gym. Molly will be joining us to coach our 18 National team this season!🥳
Bringing her wealth of knowledge, Molly knows what it takes to play at the highest of levels. An Ann Arbor Huron & MiElite alum, Molly was a part of an amazing 2018 class that placed Top 3 at AAU Nationals in her 17s year.
Since then, she was a staple throughout her four years at Michigan State before using her COVID year to play at New Mexico State.
At NMSU, Molly was a First Team All-WAC honoree & is in the record books for Most Kills in a single match with 37 Kills against Seattle U. She would then spend the following season as a Grad Assistant for the Aggies!
We are so excited to have Molly return home and lead our 18 National team this club season!
