Jeff Black, a volleyball coach with extensive experience at both the club and high school levels, will serve as interim head coach of the Piedmont volleyball program for the 2024 season. Black comes to the position after Jamie McCormack departed after eight seasons as head coach.
Black owns and directs NGAVB LLC, a club volleyball organization with 16 teams. He doubled the number of participants on club teams within three months of buying the business, according to a news release from the PIedmont Athletics Department.
Before NGAVB LLC, Black was the club president and founder of 575 Volleyball LLC which had a total of 12 full-time employees and 200+ part-time coaches across six locations.
“We are excited to announce that Jeff Black will be leading our women’s volleyball team,” said Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Jim Peeples. “Jeff brings a wealth of experience to our program.”
Black’s background in club coaching spans back to 2012, when he served as the associate director for A5 Volleyball Club in Alpharetta. He has also served as a middle school volleyball coach for Cherokee Christian School.
Coach Black is a 2012 Lees-McRae College graduate with a bachelor of science in sport management.
