About Our Summer 2024 Programs:
Coaches
Nathan Olson - Fresno Pacific University & Kings Elite.
Eric Dias - Hanford High & Kings Elite
Ryan Dias - Hanford High & Kings Elite
These three Kings Coaches spent summer 2023 coaching under Jovan Vavic, the former USC head coach.
Before that they spent time under former national team member and now head coach of Cuesta College Greg Enloe and former Greek National Team athlete Ilektra Psouni.
We may add more coaches depending on number of athletes
Our goal is to teach and build passion in our youth athletes. We believe this will come from a fun environment, positive mentorship, and building relationships by having as many coaches working with the players as possible. We want the athletes to feel appreciated and engaged.
Young Coaches - Our main group of coaches will be some of the top high school athletes from our area (Hanford, Lemoore, Clovis, Porterville, Visalia, Kingsburg, and Albuquerque . Many of the athletes participated in the Kings Elite Water Polo team which finished 17th in the country last year at Junior Olympics and all of them are currently enrolled in the Kings Elite program this summer. They are energetic and excited to mentor and teach the youth of the area! They will be in the water and doing their best to get the youth fired up and having fun with the sport!
Some of our current senior athletes who will be helping coach are committed for the 2022 season at Long Beach State, UC Santa Barbara, and University of Pacific.
