Johnathan Willis begins his first season at the helm of the Randolph College Volleyball Team.

Willis is no stranger to the local Lynchburg volleyball community. At Liberty University, his alma mater, Willis served as both a volunteer assistant for the NCAA Division I women’s volleyball team as well as the head coach of the Flames men’s volleyball club program. Under his guidance, the men’s team finished the 2006-2007 season with a record of 20-8 and a second-place finish in the Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Southern Conference.

In addition to his collegiate coaching experience, Willis has worked as a local clinician at Heritage High School, Franklin High School, and Timberlake Christian High School. He also served as the assistant coach at Brookville High School from 2005-2006, during which time the Bees won the district championship and finished second in regionals. Willis has experience at the travel club level as well, having served as the head coach of the Heart of Virginia girl’s 16 and under travel volleyball team for the past two years.
