Our Coaches
Dedication, Expertise and Passion
At OPV we pride ourselves on providing the best, truly qualified coaches around. To us, that means they have the context of playing at a high level (college) or coaching at a high level themselves (or both!). Afterall, how can we train our players to play at a high level if we haven't been there ourselves? We pay our coaches better than anyone around because we value their experience and expertise. Club is an investment, take a look below at what you are investing in when it comes to coaching.

Jenna Meligan-Street
Owner / Club Director​
16 National Head Coach
As a graduate of Lakeridge High School, Jenna was a two time 1st Team All-League selection before competing for 4 seasons at California Lutheran University. Her CLU program made it to the Elite 8 in the NCAA tournament, while during that time she also coached for one of Southern California's top junior club volleyball programs.
At 24 years old, Jenna became the head volleyball coach at Wilson High School. In her first season she lead the team to a PIL League Championship, before starting her own juniors club in Portland, Oregon, Agape Volleyball Club. In year three the team saw their first trip to 6A State playoffs for the first time in school history. After three seasons at Wilson, she accepted the most challenging job in coaching; starting a college program.
Jenna was brought in by Multnomah University to become the schools first NAIA head women's volleyball coach at just 27 years old. With little resources, she spent four seasons building the program from the ground up at MU and putting the Lions on the map. Under Jenna's leadership the volleyball team was the first in school history to beat a NAIA top 10 team in 2018, the first to beat an NCAA DII team in 2019, had the most players of any team at MU to make Academic All-Conference, and had the highest team GPA out of the entire school. In 2019, Jenna parted ways with MU seeking a new challenge more in line with her personal mission and goals, which led to the formation of Oregon Premier Volleyball.
