Notre Dame High School recently hired Brian Wood to head its volleyball program.
Wood played volleyball in high school and college. He said he started his coaching career about 10 years ago as a high school assistant in Florida, where he also ran a club team.
Wood has remained involved with club volleyball since moving to the Chattanooga area a year ago. With four high school head coaching jobs coming open at the end of last season, he had some options but accepted Notre Dame’s offer.
“I’m looking forward to building the program at Notre Dame. They’re hungry for championships. They haven’t won a title since 2006,” Wood said of the Lady Irish’s only state championship in the sport. “You can tell the students, the administration and the players are behind volleyball.
“I’m happy to be able to take over those reins at Notre Dame. Within a couple of years I expect us to be waving championship banners inside the gym.”
