Damon Gordon - Founder/Owner
Coach Damon, a Jacksonville, Florida native, was a multi-sport athlete in his youth, ultimately focusing on basketball at Englewood High School. He earned a basketball scholarship and chose to play at Florida State Community College.
After college, he discovered a passion for beach volleyball and went on to compete professionally throughout the 1980s and 1990s along the East Coast. Alongside his partner, Allen Coleman, the duo dominated the beach volleyball circuit for several years.
In 1996, Coach Damon moved to Yulee, where he raised three sons and a daughter. His daughter Tess’s interest in indoor volleyball reignited his own passion for the sport. He began coaching at the Sunsetters Club, where he worked with her team for several years.
When the Sunsetters dissolved in 2018, Coach Damon founded NEVC (Nassau Elite Volleyball Club) to provide a local option for girls’ volleyball in Nassau County—eliminating the need to travel to Jacksonville. Since then, NEVC has grown into a thriving program, offering young athletes a place to learn, grow, and compete.
Today, Coach Damon manages the club’s operations and continues to promote volleyball throughout the community. He believes the sport teaches teamwork, builds self-esteem, and fosters respect—values that are at the heart of NEVC’s mission.
