Mizuno Long Beach Volleyball Club was founded in 1995 by Joy Mckienzie-Fuerbringer. Joy grew up playing competitive club volleyball in Denver, Colorado and moved to Long Beach in 1991 to play volleyball at Long Beach State under head coach Brian Gimmillaro. Joy helped lead the 49ers win a National Championship in 1993, while also earning All-American Honors. After graduating, Joy began coaching club volleyball and soon founded Mizuno Long Beach Volleyball Club. Over the years, Joy and her experienced team of dedicated coaches, have turned MLB into one of the most reputable clubs in the nation, racking up more than 10 USAV Junior Olympic National Championships.
The experience has been very positive. Coach Carlos is very systematic and patient but doesn't waiver in his attention to detail.
