Zach Berghorst - 18 Gray

WHY I COACH

I like to coach volleyball because I love the game and I want the kids I coach to love the game as much as I do. The way I approach coaching is to make volleyball a competitive yet fun sport to play. Once the boys play, then tend to get hooked on it!

PLAYING EXPERIENCE

Team Colorado is excited to welcome back TCV Alumni Zach Berghorst as a TCV Boys coach for a second season! 

Zach played for the TCV Boys program from 2016-2019. He was part of the first group of boys to compete for Team Colorado and helped build the program.  As a senior, he helped set the 18 Black team to a 10th place finish at the Winter Boys Volleyball Championship in Chicago, a 9th place finish at the Dennis Lafayta Boys Bid Tournament in St. Louis and two RMR Boys Power victories. 

As a high school athlete, Zach helped restart the boys program at Cheyenne Mountain and was a two-time 1st Team All-State setter for the program in the 2018 and 2019 seasons. 

Zach has been playing volleyball for more than 9 years and competes in local adult events.
