Bart Foley - Head Coach
2020 will mark Coach Foley's 13th year of coaching volleyball at King's. King's teams have gone a combined 244-29 during that time (.893). 2020 will also be Bart's 3rd year as Head Coach. Foley's career mark as Head Coach is 60-5 (.923). Foley's second year at the helm would feature one of the best teams in school history. The Knights would dominate conference play, going 10-0 with zero sets lost and take the North Sound Conference Title. King's would continue its dominance though District and Bi-District play with 3-0 wins over Lynden Christian and Overlake to take District and Bi-District Championships for the 2nd straight season. The Knights would go 3-1 at State with wins over Okanogan, Meridian and Lakeside (9 Mile) and a 2-3 loss to Chelan in the final.
Foley started coaching competitive volleyball with All Out Volleyball Club back in 2005 where he has coached numerous teams at nearly every level since. Foley joined the King’s staff in 2008 and the Knights promptly won the school its first state championship, with a repeat in 2009. Foley was the Associate Head Coach for the program from 2015-2017 helping guide the Knights back to the program's 3rd state title in 2017. Bart is passionate about helping every girl to become the best they can be on and off the floor, as student athletes and as Christians. Coach Foley has been an ambassador for the sport of volleyball in the King’s community through his leadership at All Out as well as King’s Elementary and Jr High camps and clinics through the years. Foley also serves as an executive board member for the Puget Sound Region of USA Volleyball where he is an advocate for club athletes and their families.
Foley got his start playing volleyball on the beaches of Golden Gardens and Alki back when most thought if you were playing doubles it must be because you were short players. Bart quickly took to the sport and ascended into the upper tier of local players, routinely competing for tournament wins throughout the northwest. Foley also played for the club volleyball team at Washington State University (1989-92). Coach Foley has been a King's parent since 2001 and his team at home includes a beautiful wife and four children, including daughters Anna and Tessa, who both lead King's to State Titles (Anna 2008 & 2009 and Tessa in 2017). Coach Foley is Vice President and General Sales Manager at ROOT SPORTS, television home of the Seattle Mariners.

JOCLYN KIRTON - C-Team COACH
Joclyn Kirton will takeover the head coach role of C-Team this season, replacing Deri Kispert. Joclyn is one of the great stories in KING’S VOLLEYBALL history as she would come to epitomize the adage of present-ability not predicting future-ability.
Joclyn began her volleyball experience on C-Team her freshman year. Kirton would make the jump from C-Team to Varsity her sophomore year where she would join her older sister Dionna, and help the Knights win the 2009 state title. Two years later, in her senior season Joclyn continued her evolution with the switch from middle to outside hitter where she would lead the super-talented 2011 team to a 3rd place finish in the state tournament and earn herself WIAA State MVP honors along the way.
Kirton would further her volleyball journey at the collegiate level, where she would go on to be a 3x NAIA All American and 2x Academic All American at Biola University in southern California. Kirton would also play 2 years of Basketball at Biola, earning All American honors in each of those years as well. Joclyn graduated from Biloa earning both a BA in Public Relations and an MBA.
Coach Kirton is set to begin her second year working for Crista as a Marketing Strategist.

WHITNEY MATTHEWS (Naber) - ASSISTANT COACH
Whitney Matthews (Naber) makes her return to King's in 2019 as an Assistant Coach. Coach Matthews will primarily serve both JV and C-Teams this fall, assisting Coach McCorkle and Kirton with practices and all local matches.
Whitney is a 2014 King's graduate and former middle-bloacker and team co-captain her senior season. Matthews transferred from Freeman High School in Spokane to begin her junior year at King's where she made a smooth transition thanks to her abilities on and off the floor. Whitney was an instant hit with her teammates as she immediately demonstrated the work ethic, humility and overall decency that would draw people to her. Matthews and co-captain, Alysanne Van Dyke would lead a very talented team with a #1 ranking all season long. While the team came up short at State, we fondly remember the high bar the team set in the way of selfless servant leadership as exhibited by our two captains.
