Avril is a former Barbados Volleyball Association National player. She held the position of Barbados #1 setter from 1987-1994. During those years she lead the women’s volleyball team to five consecutive victories at the Caribbean Volleyball Championships. “It was certainly an honor to represent Barbados at the level.”

 “The love and passion for the sport allowed me to earn a partial scholarship at the University of New Haven, where through the guidance and expertise of form UNH coach Debbie Chin, and present UNH coach Robin Salters, have greatly influenced my desire to coach young athletes.

 I have played, coached, and taught the sport of volleyball and CUNY Medgar Evers College, NYC parks and recreation, beach tournaments and various Beacon programs in Brooklyn.

 It is my intention to help build the volleyball program here at Aviator Sports Club, through skill development, hard work, and a winning attitude.”

 Coach Avril has one son and resides in Brooklyn.
