2025 Next Level Volleyball Season - Campolindo High School
Join us for our 2nd season of Next Level Volleyball in Moraga at Campolindo High School! We are excited to get things rolling with our Next Level Sports staff and Coach Dave Chen.
General Registration is now open for all participants!
The Next Level Girls Volleyball program has been developed to provide aspiring volleyball players an opportunity to learn the basic skills and functions of competitive volleyball - at an introductory yet competitive level. Our program is aimed at the youth athlete who has 'some-to-none' exposure/experience with the game of volleyball yet would like to develop the core skills required to participate at a higher level in the future (club, middle school, high school). Our staff is comprised of current college/club-level volleyball coaches who have taught the game to a wide variety of age groups - both at the more casual level as well as the elite club and elite high school levels. As traditional within Next Level, all teams will be mentored/coached with the assistance of a student-athlete involved within the game.
This program is instructionally based yet will contain head-to-head game activity as a secondary focus.

League Operations
- Season Operations: The Next Level Girls Volleyball program at Campolindo High School will run with 8 program dates over the program schedule.
- Program Dates: This program operates on Sundays at Campolindo High School - parents need only allocate up to a 1.5 hour window of availability for their child's involvement. The Next Level Volleyball program is an instructionally based development program with head-to-head game activity as a secondary focus. Players will receive skill specific technique instruction and will have lots of opportunities to work on skill development through drills, as well as modified game play. The volleyball program deviates from the practice/game model that our other Next Level programs use. There are not set program times in the volleyball program, where practice will end and a head-to-head match will begin. Each session, Next Level Volleyball coaches will instruct players through a series of skills and drills, while introducing and working towards being comfortable with team play in the form of scrimmages in the latter half of the program
- Team Roster Size: Teams are 10 players maximum, limited exceptions on a case-by-case basis.

Site Director: Coach Dave Chen
Dave Chen is a former Campolindo Cougar with a passion for volleyball. Dave’s coaching journey started in Southern California while getting his masters in Physical Therapy at Cal State Northridge. Coach Chen joined both the girls and boys programs at Taft High School as the Head JV/ Varsity Assistant coach from 2004-2008. While at Taft he helped lead the girls program to section championship appearances in 2005, 2006, and a section championship win in 2007. Dave led the boys to consecutive sectional championship appearances from 2005-2007.
Shortly after in 2008, Coach Chen returned home to reunite with his Cougar family as the Boys Varsity co-head coach. He is still leading them to victory today and has an impressive history with NCS championship appearances in 2010 and 2024; NCS championship wins in 2011-2015, 2017, 2019, 2022; and a NorCal Championship win in 2013, 2014 and 2015.
With the Campo program playing such an integral part in Coach Chen’s own personal development, he wanted a chance to continue the tradition and jumped in to help with the girls program as the JV co-head coach from 2009-2011. From there, Dave transitioned to the Varsity co-head coach in 2012, where he proudly remains today. Coach Chen helped lead the girls to victory with NCS appearances in 2013-2015, 2017, 2018, 2022; NCS Championships in 2012 and 2016; as well as CIF NorCal / State Championship appearances in 2012 and 2018.
Dave Chen is grateful to have the opportunity to give back to a sport that has opened so many doors for him and provided countless positive life experiences. Above all, one of the most rewarding parts for him has been reconnecting with past players in their adult lives and having Campo alumni come back to the program to coach and help out. Coach Chen is excited to continue growing the sport of volleyball through Next Level!
