Next, we have a super familiar face around here one of our co-Directors Tammi Nowack!
Tammi has been coaching volleyball since her senior year of college — 24 years and counting. Originally from Michigan, she loves the camaraderie, sisterhood and mental growth the sport brings, and she takes pride in building a club where players become confident, powerful women both on and off the court. As a mom of four boys, Tammi often hears that she “never got her girl” — but with a full club of athletes every season, she says she’s got all the girls she needs.
Over her career she has helped start three club teams, won 40+ tournaments and coached 30+ players who went on to play college volleyball across Division I, II and III. She has built, led and coached programs in Michigan, Ohio, Florida and Georgia.
Now in her 4th season with RIPS, Tammi is stepping fully into the co-director’s role — focusing on coaches, culture and the long-term growth of the club. Her attention this year is on supporting the staff, strengthening the player experience and continuing to grow the game right here in northeast Georgia.
The ship would definitely sink without you Tammi, thank you so much for all your hard work! Coming in hot for season 5!
