Championship-winning San Diego high school and club coach Nancy Ros has been chosen to lead the Miramar College women's volleyball program. Hired as head coach of both indoor and beach WVB teams at Miramar, Ros succeeds 2021 Jets WVB head coach John Landicho, who is focusing his efforts on his role as head coach of Miramar's men's volleyball program.
Coach Ros brings some 15 years of experience leading successful indoor and beach teams at Westview HS, located some six miles away from Miramar. The indoor coach for the Lady Wolverines since 2007, Ros' teams advanced to the CIF-San Diego Section D-1 Finals in 2017, and the CIF State Southern Section Finals in 2013. A key player in the development and creation of the sand volleyball court complex at Westview, Ros' efforts as beach head coach at Westview since 2013 has produced teams that won the CIF-SDS D-2 Championship and was a 2021 CIF-SDS D-1 semifinalist. Multiple players from Ros' Westview teams continued their volleyball and academic careers at the collegiate level. Coach Ros is also well known for directing the SoCal Invitational, one of the largest girls' volleyball tournaments in the United States. In her role directing the SCI, she secured sponsorships for the tournament, communicated with coaches both nationally and in Canada, and ran the tournament which averaged 60 teams each year. Coach Ros also served as the head coach of the program at the Academy of Our Lady of Peace (better known as OLP), from 1996-2004.
Coach Ros has been a member of the coaching staff of Wave Volleyball Club since 2017, where she coaches teams indoors and assists in Wave's beach program, while providing assistance to student-athletes seeking to play at the collegiate level. She has also served on the staff of the San Diego Volleyball Club (2006-2017). Ros also has coached at volleyball camps for Stanford University and UC San Diego.
A tri-sport athlete in high school (volleyball, basketball and softball), Ros holds degrees from Concordia University Irvine (Master's in Coaching and Athletic Administration) and UC San Diego (Bachelor's of Science in Physiology and Neuroscience with minors in Psychology and Japanese Studies).
Ros will lead a new and exciting phase for the Jets, as she will be in charge of the full WVB program, which adds beach volleyball to the current indoor volleyball program. The offering of a comprehensive women's volleyball program (both indoor and beach) is a long-awaited step for the program. The team will take advantage of the College's new, four-court sand volleyball complex, located on-campus and thus eliminating any additional travel time to/from off-campus courts, a significant advantage for the program's student-athletes.
