Seth Jones, a 2022 graduate of Montclair State University and Colonia, N.J., native, has been named Division II Caldwell University Women’s Head Volleyball Coach, today Mark A. Corino, Assistant Vice President and Director of Athletics, announced on its website.
Jones holds strong ties to the New Jersey volleyball community. He has served as assistant women’s volleyball coach at Union College as well as assistant boys coach at Colonia High School, freshman girls coach at Saint John Vianney High School in Holmdel and lead coach/clinician at Garden State Attack Volleyball Club in Freehold.
After a winless season, Jones, 26, is eagerly looking to right the ship at Caldwell, brining respectability to the program.
“I’m excited to get started right away in working with the returning student-athletes as well as bringing new ones to Caldwell University,” Jones said in a press release. “I look forward to the challenge of returning the program to the top of the CACC.”
Jones’ coaching resumé and great attitude, along with his proving success over various levels of the sport, led to Corino brining him aboard.
“We were impressed with Seth’s enthusiasm and demonstrated ability across various coaching levels,” Corino said. “We are confident he will be a great fit here and we are pleased to have him leading the volleyball program.”
Jones played varsity volleyball at St. Joseph (Metuchen) HS, graduating in 2017.
Jones succeeds Hector Colon, who resigned in November following his second year at the helm.
Jones, who also serves as a substitute teacher in the state, was a communication and media arts major at MSU, with a concentration in television and digital media.
