Simmons College Athletics

Jason Conetta is entering his second season as Head Volleyball Coach at Simmons College. The Sharks finished the 2007 season with an 8-14 overall record; 4-9 in the Great Northeast Athletic Conference. The 2008 season is looking strong, with the young team returning all but two starters from 2007.

Conetta was a standout Soccer and Volleyball player at Rivier College. In 2006, Rivier Volleyball reached the Men's Division III Final Four in 2006, and Conetta was named the Endicott Invitational MVP the same year. In 2002, Conetta earned New England Conference Volleyball Association Second-Team honors. Injury forced Conetta to sit out for a year, and he served as a player-assistant coach during the interim.

A native of Boston, MA, Conetta earned a bachelors degree in Human Development from Rivier in 2006. He currently resides in Newton Highlands, MA, and is taking courses toward his M.Ed. in School Administration. Conetta is also the head coach for the Regis College Men's Volleyball program.
