| Monte Moser Varsity Coach This will be the third season at the helm for Coach Moser. The Elks have reached the state semi-finals each of his two prior seasons. While the Elks graduated 5 starters and 8 seniors overall from the 2007 squad, expectations remain high this year. A talented class of juniors join the squad coming off their own 21-3 JV record. The 2008 team will bring a new blend of improved defense and tenacity to the ever-present power offense. From 2002 to 2005, Monte served as the boys' freshmen and junior varsity coach. Following the 2005 season, Monte was selected to succeed long time coach Pat Reynolds. He also served as the girls' varsity assistant coach from 2003 to 2006, becoming the girls' varsity coach in the 2007 season. During the years 1996 to 1999, Monte was the head coach of the Northmont High School boys' volleyball team. The Thunderbolt teams combined for a 67-32 record, including a regional championship and state final four appearance in 1998, during his four seasons. He was named regional coach of the year for both the 1997 and 1998 seasons, received an All-Ohio coaches' achievement award in 1998, and selected to coach the Ohio-Indiana All Star match following the '97 and '98 seasons. 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. Since that time, he and several other area coaches have maintained a boys' juniors program under several names and associations. Currently, Monte is the director and coach for the Air City Volleyball Club, providing off season training and playing opportunities for boys in the Dayton area. Coach Moser remains an active player and official, as he has been since starting in volleyball in the early 1980's. He is a member of the Dayton Volleyball Club teams during the USA Volleyball adult season as well as participating in local men's YMCA leagues and events. He is also a USAV and high school volleyball official of over 20 years and has been selected to work the OHSAA girls' playoffs many times. Monte is a graduate of Grove City College (Pennsylvania) where he earned a Bachelors degree in Computer Science and History in 1989. |
