Boise River VBC is excited to announce that Chris Rushing will join our coaching staff for the 2009-2010 season.  Chris has years of successful coaching & playing experience that he brings to our program.  Most recently, Chris was the Director and Head Coach of East Carolina Juniors.  Under his guidance the 17-under team qualified in the Open division for the Junior Olympic Championships.  He was also the Head Coach of the East Carolina 14-under team.

Chris is currently serving as an assistant coach with Boise State after heading up the East Carolina University program from 2005-2008 seasons.  There he accumulated a 68-59 record as well as guiding the team to a 20-11 season in his first year, only the third 20-win season in school history.  While at ECU he coached seven All-Conference USA players, one National Player of the Week and several Conference USA Players of the Week.

Prior to ECU, Rushing was a seven-year head coach at the University of Tennessee at Martin where he led his team to two Ohio Valley Conference regular season championships, one OVC tournament championship and UT Martin’s first-ever bid to the NCAA tournament.  In the process of earning a 110-99 record, Rushing was also named the OVC Coach of the Year twice.

Rushing’s first head coaching position at the collegiate level came during teh 1994-95 seasons when he served as the head coach of the women’s volleyball team at Dixie College in St. George, UT.  In his two seasons as a head coach at Dixie College, he led the team to a 47-27 record and to the school’s first winning season in over six years.

A quick two-season stint out of the head coaching position, Rushing was an assistant women’s volleyball coach at Arkansas State from 1996-97.  Rushing had another stint of assistant coaching experience with the men’s volleyball team at his alma mater, Brigham Young University, from 1992-94.  His first collegiate coaching experience came at Utah Valley University (formerly Utah Valley State College) where he was an assistant in 1991. 

Chris played volleyball four seasons at BYU (1986 and 1989-1991).  He played outside hitter on a team that won the national championship.  He earned a B.S. degree from BYU in Exercise Science – Education Certification in 1993.  Chris and his wife, Jeannine have three children (Josh, Aubrey and Brooke).

When:  6:00-7:00pm, Monday, October 19, 2009

Why:  For players/parents wanting more information about Boise River VBC.  Director, Candy Murphy & Financial Director, Joline Armuth will discuss all aspects of the program, as well as answer any questions you may have.

Columbia High School senior, Jessica Tiffany who has competed for Boise River VBC for two seasons verbally committed to the University of Idaho over the summer.  Jessica is a dynamic athlete who, because of her strong work ethic continues to become a great volleyball player. 

Jessica began her club volleyball career on the BRVBC 17-1 team as a sophomore.  Because of her athleticism she played middle blocker for coach, Cathy Curtis.  This past year 18-1 coaches, Candy Murphy & Derek Riggs moved Jess to the outside hitter position.  While Jessica continues to work hard on her improving backcourt game, she has become a dominant force offensively in the region.  Jessica was selected to play on the IVA High Performance Team, but declined to attend volleyball camp at the University of Idaho. 

We look forward to having Jessica back this season, and to help her prepare for her future in Division I volleyball.
