Olympic setter and college coach joins ACT Volleyball Club!

Debbie Green is a former player with the USA National Team. She is regarded as the greatest American women's volleyball setter of all time. Debbie was a member of the USA Olympic Team in 1980 and 1984, winning the silver medal at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.

Once her playing days concluded, Debbie started her coaching career as an assistant coach at Long Beach State University. During her 23 years at Long Beach, Debbie was instrumental in the development of the setters which included Misty May-Treanor, Joy McKenzie, Sabrina Hernandez, Sheri Sanders, Brittany Hochevar and Nicole Vargas. The “Beach” won three NCAA Championships in her 23 years.

Debbie is excited to join the ACT Volleyball Club family. Her 35 years of coaching many All-Americans at the club and collegiate level will be strongly influential in helping ACT grow as one of the top clubs in Southern California.
