Club Arrowhead Coach:
Brad Hekekia Volleyball Bio
Growing up in Thatcher, AZ, volleyball has been part of my life since I can remember. My father was coach at Eastern Arizona College since the early 1980's. I began instructing at volleyball camps around the state in high school and then assisted at EAC in 1995-96. In 2004, I coached the Mesa High boys club team.
I currently reside in Queen Creek. I am a real estate professional and a recruiting scout for Eastern Arizona College. As a father of 3 daughters and a son, the time is opportune for me to be more involved in the volleyball culture as I watch my children grow in the sport.
I'm excited to be part of the Arrowhead program in the East Valley. The population growth in in the Gilbert and Queen Creek areas is certain to produce plenty of volleyball talent. I expect Club Arrowhead to be key in the development of these volleyball players. I am committed to my players, their parents, and the organization to help in this development.
