2023 Head Coach

Amber Matalus - 16 East Head Coach - 2023

Metro VBC Amber Matalus- 16 East Head Coach - 2023

"It feels great to be back with the Metro East teams!"

This season will be my 6th season of coaching volleyball and my 4th as a head coach. I've played volleyball for thirteen years now, four of which I spent playing at Virginia Wesleyan University during my undergraduate studies. I then moved to Washington, D.C. to get my masters degree where I was introduced to Metro for the 2020-21 season. After focusing on my studies for my final year, I've now finished up my Master's of Arts: Global Security and am looking forward to getting back in the gym.

Volleyball has been an integral part of my life and I've developed an unreal love and passion for the game that I hope to share with each team I coach. My philosophy as a coach is wholistic - I want my players to be successful, skilled players and make strides in their game, but I also want to ensure growth through the game in other aspects of life and give back to the next generation of volleyball players so they might develop that same love and passion as I did. I look forward to meeting all of the Metro East teams this year and enjoying the season!
