Off Season
| Monte Moser Varsity Coach This will be the sixth season to lead the Elks varsity for Coach Moser. The Elks have continued their streak of consecutive regional championships (now 12 in a row) and reached the state semi-finals three times under Coach Moser's tenure. The 2010 state quarter-finalist team graduated five seniors, but return seven very talented and highly motivated juniors. The strength of the junior varsity players and their hard work in the off-season should make this year as exciting as any. Outside of the high school volleyball realm, Monte has been very active in the USA junior volleyball community. He coached from 1994 to 1997 for several Miami Valley Juniors teams. Beginning in 1999, Monte helped found the first boys' juniors program for the Dayton area which has now become the Air City Volleyball Club. Monte presently serves as the director and a 16's coach for Air City. |
