Dale Casey is the Club Director & Coach of Tri-Cities Extreme Volleyball.

She has coached club in every age group along with several national teams for both AAU & USAV. She has coached middle school, High School & College. She has been coaching club & giving lessons for 28years.

She started both a college program & club program same year after ETSU buccaneer Jr club disbanded where she coached for several years.

She has been a club director for over 22 years. She enjoys every moment of her time on the court with these young athletes and loves assisting each one to reach their goals.

“I look forward to see each and every one of you for the new season “

Marquis has been all around the coaching scene, from coaching club and high school to multiple DI volleyball programs, helping coaching staff’s by using the popular volleyball data program Data Volley.

Clark got his first stint as a head coach at Cloud County Community College from 2010-12. The following season, he landed a spot on the Wichita State volleyball staff working as a volunteer assistant. That 2013 Wichita State team went 28-7, their 11th straight 20-win season, and swept the Missouri Valley Confer- ence Tournament, but would eventually lose in the first round of the NCAA Tournament to #23 Kansas.

In 2014, Clark made his way to Johnson City under ETSU Lindsey Devine as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator. That year was ETSU’s first volleyball season as part of the Southern Conference, after nine years of affiliation to the Atlantic-Sun Conference. Marquis made his way down to the north Carolina at DII Brevard College in a similar role for the next two seasons before returning to Johnson City. The Kansas native has made an impact off the hardwood, coaching at numerous clubs across the country, and most recently with the Tri-Cities Extreme Volleyball Club.

I enjoy the teaching process of coaching volleyball. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing players develop and gain confidence in their ability to play the game.

Extreme balances the competitive element of club volleyball with a family atmosphere. There is a genuine effort in our club to make sure every player gets as good as she can be and has a positive experience.

Haley Price played for and did lessons with Dale from 12 to 18 years old. During that time she secured multiple conference awards, regional awards, and was named TSSAA Hitter of the Year after winning a State Championship at Sullivan South. Haley went on to compete collegiately at Virginia Tech where she graduated with a bachelors degree in clinical neuroscience in 2018.

Haley has coached at the high school, NJCAA, NCAA D2, and NCAA D1 levels. She currently serves as an assistant coach at East Tennessee State University.

She is so thrilled to be back with her home club where she has spent over a decade as both a player and coach!

Some of my volleyball achievements include: 2x Academic All-Conference and West Ridge Student Athlete Scholarship Award.

I am also a project assistant/social media manager at ETSU Pediatrics, and I also work as a CNA at Johnson City Medical Center.

Some things I love about Tri-Cities Extreme Volleyball include our family-like environment and the ability to connect with players from other areas in East Tennesssee & Southwest Virginia. I am so honored to be able to coach alongside the incredible coaches that coached me and helped me get to where I am now! I wanted to become a coach to share my knowledge and love for the game with others.

I played three years of varsity volleyball at John Battle where I accomplished 1,000+ assists and one year at Johnson University.

My favorite thing about coaching for TEV is the atmosphere with the players and coaches. I love watching the girls grow in their confidence and knowledge of the game each year! I'm excited to see what this season brings!

My parents & I made life long friends with some of my coaches, teammates and their families when I played and I hope some of the players I coach will too.

I LOVE coaching at TEV because of the high standards held not only for players but for coaches as well. TEV is my family! I know matter what I can count on anyone in the club to help me and to push me to my fullest potential. I have most definitely become a better coach because of Dale, Marquis and the numerous coaches, parents and players who have poured into me each season! I’m looking forward to another great season!
