Monte Moser
Varsity Coach


This will be the fifth season to lead the Elks varsity for Coach Moser.  The Elks have continued their streak of consecutive regional championships (now 11 in a row) and reached the state semi-finals three times under Coach Moser's tenure. The 2009 state semi-finalist team graduated ten seniors, but return three starters.  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.  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.
