HEAD COACH TUCKER HARGRAVES
I first fell in love with volleyball after watching team USA play in the 2004 Olympic Games. I have always been a fan of sports and volleyball really opened my eyes to the phenomenal athleticism, team unity and the creativity of the hitters. I came to the sport later than most in regards to playing, however it was something that always stuck out as a sport that I had to be part of. I worked hard to improve my abilities, watched the NCAA Men’s and Women’s tournaments and even former teammates and opponents go onto national glory as they earned NCAA D1 Championships. My high school program was a very competitive one that turned out tremendous talent, which also earned multiple CIF titles and a state title in 2008. I have been part of the volleyball community for the past eighteen years. Ten of those years have been part of the beautiful San Diego volleyball community, where I have come to love the game more and more, while garnering skills that have helped me as a player, and most importantly, as a coach and teacher.
I love the game so much that I watch volleyball more than anyone should, and it is always in the background while I am working on school projects. I can attribute ninety percent of my friendships and relationships with amazing players, former teammates and coaches to the sport of volleyball. My goal is to bring my passion for the sport to CCA and share all that I have learned with the next generation of student-athletes while also teaching life lessons to help them improve on anything that is dark.
My family is filled with athletes. My father was an ice hockey player and coach. My mother played basketball, softball and was a swimmer. My uncle is a 12 time All-American and former 5 time NCAA D1 National Champion Swimmer at California State University, Northridge, Herb Bishop.
