In his senior year of high school, he was named MVP of both his water polo and his volleyball team. He spent his high school career playing both club and school seasons of water polo, soccer, and volleyball.

Paolo then graduated from UC Davis in 2019 with a degree in Human Development and Public Health. At UC Davis, he played on the NCCVL UC Davis indoor team as a libero/DS all four years. Paolo also was a volunteer for both the indoor and beach Women’s team and was also a head coach at Moxie Beach Volleyball Club located in Davis, helping a former AVP establish an elite program in the Sacramento/Davis area. As a Coach at Moxie, he helped train athletes by honing in on their beach volleyball skills and technique, while helping a handful of athletes get recruited into Division 1 beach programs. Paolo also helped to create the first Club Beach Volleyball program at UC Davis with a couple of his friends, where he competed as the “2’s” pair.

After graduating, Paolo joined Red Rock Volleyball Club where he coached both Boys and Girls. He was also the Red Rock Boy’s and Beach director where he trained a variety of age groups, establishing fundamentals and furthering technical skill development to compete at the highest level. While playing in many CBVA beach volleyball tournaments and grass tournaments around Northern California, he competed with a 9-man Volleyball team called Dragons where he placed 4th in the National Championships in Oakland in 2022. He also competed with a local semi-professional VLA team from San Jose, playing alongside and against former Division 1 athletes.

Paolo then went to UC Berkeley to pursue his Master’s in Public Health where he also joined the UC Berkeley Men’s team as a graduate student and competed in the NCCVL League as a Libero/DS, finishing top 10 in the nation.

Some of his coaching accolades include:

Leading the Red Rock Boys 15-1s team to a silver medal at the NCVA Far Westerns Qualifier in 2023

Jonathan Santos

Red Rock Girls 13-1

Jonathan started his volleyball journey at 6 years old learning from his uncle who started the boy’s volleyball program at Sacred Heart Cathedral Prep. After playing a few summer co-ed seasons in elementary and middle school while co-head coaching his sister’s volleyball team, he tried out for Diablo Volleyball Club for the summer season. His team went on to get 13th in the open division at that year’s BJNC. While co-head coaching his sister’s teams, they won two gold medals in their divisions and half of the girls went on to play for their high school teams.

He then played for Pacific Rim Volleyball Club, as the first team ever for the club alongside players who would become volleyball stars like Joe and Gage Worsley, Micah Ma’a, Jordan Ewert, just to name a few. As an OH and then an eventual libero, his team won the bronze medal his 14s year, and two gold medals in the open division his 17s and 18s year. Throughout these years, Jonathan gained a ton of experience playing against the best players in the country, which culminated in collegiate opportunities. He, along with every single one of his teammates, was recruited to a plethora of colleges of all divisions. These included NYU, UC Santa Cruz, Elmira, and Stevens.

Jonathan attended St. Ignatius College Preparatory for high school and completed four years of varsity boys volleyball there. Jonathan played for UC Santa Cruz as the starting libero from 2016-2019 earning accolades such as Most Digs Recorded in a Single Game in school history, and eventually a Runner-Up trophy at the 2019 NCAA DIII national championships. Throughout the summers of collegiate volleyball, he head coached volleyball camps for Pacific Rim. Following his graduation from UCSC with a BS in MCD Biology, Jonathan head coached the 16-1 boys team for Pacific Rim and earned two open bids with his team. He assisted in the recruitment process for multiple players on his team some of whom now play for well known schools such as CSU Northridge, UC Irvine, and Wentworth.

Among some of his coaching philosophies, he believes all players have the capability to reach their attainable goals with hard work and discipline, and prides himself on teaching the importance of technique plus athleticism and work ethic, as well as ensuring all players have the most optimal experience. He then assisted a girls team which was unable to complete their season due to COVID. Since then, Jonathan has been pursuing a master’s degree in nursing and currently is a Registered Nurse.

In his spare time, he enjoys playing tennis, reading sci-fi books, watching the newest Marvel movie/tv show, and playing volleyball when he can. Jonathan hopes to bring his extensive volleyball experience both playing and coaching to his new team!
