Founded in 2018, Pinnacle Athletic Club was created to provide athletes with high-level volleyball training, meaningful development, and a competitive environment built around strong relationships.

Over the years, Pinnacle has developed a respected community of athletes, coaches, and families who share a passion for volleyball and a commitment to continued growth. Our goal is not simply to build successful teams. We want to help players become more skilled, confident, disciplined, and prepared for the opportunities ahead of them.

Built on Excellence

Pinnacle is driven by a competitive mindset and a belief that every athlete can continue improving with the right coaching, environment, and support.

Our coaches bring experience from the youth club, high school, collegiate, and professional levels. They are committed to teaching the game, developing the whole athlete, and creating a training environment where players are challenged, supported, and held to a high standard.

We believe great coaching is about more than running practices. It is about building trust, teaching players how to compete, helping them understand the game, and giving them the tools to reach their potential.

A Stronger Future

Pinnacle is entering an exciting new chapter under the ownership of Josh Nehls and the continued volleyball leadership of McKay Smith.

Josh brings experience as a club director, facility operator, college coach, high school coach, former collegiate athlete, and state champion. His focus is on supporting the foundation already established at Pinnacle while adding resources, structure, programming, and new opportunities for athletes and families.

McKay will continue to lead Pinnacle’s volleyball programming and remain closely involved in player development, coach development, team culture, and the overall athlete experience.

Nick MacRae will also continue supporting Pinnacle’s leadership, coaches, players, families, and college pathway initiatives.

Together, the leadership team is committed to preserving the identity, relationships, and culture that make Pinnacle special while continuing to move the club forward.

Our Commitment to Athletes

At Pinnacle, every decision begins with the athlete experience.

We are committed to providing:
 

• High-quality coaching and purposeful training

• A competitive but supportive team environment

• Clear pathways for player development

• Opportunities for college exposure and recruiting education

• Coaches who are supported and continually developing

• Strong communication with athletes and families

• An experience that helps players grow both on and off the court
   

We want our athletes to enjoy the process, embrace competition, and leave Pinnacle better prepared for whatever comes next in their volleyball journey.

More Than a Volleyball Club

Pinnacle is a community.

Our athletes form relationships with teammates and coaches that extend beyond a single season. Our families support one another, celebrate together, and contribute to the environment that makes the club successful.

We take pride in the history Pinnacle has built, and we are excited about what lies ahead.

The next chapter of Pinnacle will be defined by continued development, strong leadership, greater opportunities, and an unwavering commitment to our athletes.
