Coaches

Alex Nottingham

I currently serve as the Head Volleyball Coach at Inglemoor High School, completing my third season in this role. With over seven years of coaching experience across middle school, high school, and club levels, I bring a comprehensive understanding of athlete development. In addition to my coaching responsibilities, I am a Nike Volleyball Camp Director and Co-Owner of Inglemoor Volleyball Club. Academically, I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Health and Human Performance and am pursuing a Master’s degree in Teaching at Eastern Oregon University. Beyond volleyball, I also coach Track and Field at Inglemoor during the spring season. My coaching philosophy centers on fostering a strong volleyball community while emphasizing the development of foundational and fundamental skills to help athletes reach their full potential.

Gene Wang

I am currently the Head Volleyball Coach at Northshore Middle School in Bothell. I bring 30 years of experience coaching volleyball at both the high school and middle school levels. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching at Woodinville High School and Forest Ridge High School, and now at Northshore Middle School. This year marks my 32nd year as a Health and Fitness teacher, and I have a true passion for teaching and coaching athletes of all levels.

Kylie Lunday

I’m originally from Missoula, Montana, and moved to the Seattle area in 2019, where I began my collegiate volleyball and basketball career at Highline Community College. I later transferred to Northwest University in Kirkland, continuing to compete in both sports while earning my bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science and Education. After completing my undergraduate program, I played as the 1’s pair blocker for Northwest University’s beach volleyball team while earning my Master in Teaching. Throughout my time in Washington, I’ve coached indoor volleyball for Blue Royals Volleyball Club and beach volleyball for both Northwest Juniors and Sudden Impact Volleyball Club, as well as serving as the volleyball coach at Northshore Middle School. I currently work as a PE teacher in the Northshore School District, and I’m excited to bring my experience and passion for the sport to this club and its athletes.
