The Sound
Premier Volleyball Team has added Western Oregon University Head Coach Brad
Saindon to its coaching staff for the 2013 exhibition season. Saindon will assist head coach Bill Neville
and brings a solid resume of collegiate and international experience to the
program’s second season in the Premier Volleyball League, a grass roots effort
by USA Volleyball to establish a professional volleyball league in the United
States.
His experience in the United States includes
head coaching tenures at Arizona State University, The University of Colorado
and Regis College in Denver. Saindon also
coached the Australian Women’s National Team in the 2000 Sydney Olympics and
has served as an assistant coach for the USA Men’s National Team on two
separate occasions. He is part of the
USA Volleyball Coaching Accreditation Program Instructor Cadre.
“By adding
Brad Saindon to our coaching staff, we have put ourselves in a position to have
the best women’s players in our region working with two coaches with
International experience,” said USA Volleyball Puget Sound Region Commissioner
John Bryant.
“Having
coaches of this caliber involved with our program helps bring a feeling of
legitimacy to the Premier Volleyball League efforts in the Puget Sound and
beyond. We are paving the road for
something really special,” Bryant continued.
Open tryouts for the team are February 3rd at
Nevillisms in Bellevue, Washington from 9am to 2:30pm. The team’s first exhibition will be February
22 at Sunrise Courts in Puyallup.
