CDH volleyball is honored to be working with amazing coaches who also have a rich history with the school. All female coaches are former players in the volleyball program, and some of their best memories come from playing volleyball for Cretin-Derham Hall.

We believe that having an all-alumni coaching staff will unite CDH's rich history, traditions, and values with the present teams. The staff also provides a strong platform on which to build for future teams.
