Founded in 2022 by professional volleyball coach Sajad Dehnavi, Newport Sports Academy (NSA) was created to provide young athletes with world-class training, expert mentorship, and a strong foundation for long-term success.
With over 12 years of experience in competitive volleyball and coaching, Sajad has trained under some of the sport’s most renowned coaches, including Julio Velasco. Over the past decade, he has successfully guided hundreds of young athletes by applying scientific training methods, efficient skill development techniques, and individualized programs.

At NSA, we believe that true athletic excellence is built through a combination of skill, positive mindset, and healthy lifestyle habits. Our programs emphasize positive thinking, sound nutrition, daily progress tracking, and customized fitness plans to help every athlete reach their full potential.
Today, NSA is proud to feature an elite coaching team composed of former professional players, Olympians, and top collegiate athletes. Together, we are dedicated to developing the next generation of volleyball players, empowering them to sharpen their skills, build mental resilience, and excel both on and off the court.
