Chris Delgado
Assistant Coach, 15 Blue

Chris Delgado returns to the volleyball scene after being sidelined from a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and temporary paralysis for four years. He comes with two years of club coaching experience and four years of collegiate experience as a player under his belt. His past club season was spent mentoring athletes on Blocksport’s top 18 Nike team where the team received an invitation to USA Junior Nationals and finished in the the top 10 in 2014 and 2015. Chris’s player experience was at Grandview University in Des Moines, Iowa. He was a transfer from Hannibal La-Grange University in Hannibal, Missouri and became Grandview’s first graduating senior. Chris held down the starting libero position during the 2011-2013 seasons at Grand View, and in 2013 he earned the NAIA MAMVIC West “Libero of The Week” award, averaging 3.8 digs per set and passing a steady 2.8 on serve receive.

“Transitioning from player to coach has been a blast. Since my days as a player are behind me, I am stoked to be given the opportunity to teach and mentor athletes today. Defense and serve receive are everything to me. I guess you could say I know a thing or two about passing a volleyball.  It made me money and it paid for school. In the game of volleyball; passing is everything,” said Chris.

Coach Chris is still on the mend and relearning all things volleyball, but we know with reps all things will return. He is soon to be a realtor in the Dallas metroplex, so feel free to connect and talk passing and housing.   We are excited to have Chris return to the scene at Arsenal and join forces with Brooklyn Hunt.
