About Matt Bohorquez
Coach. Player. Student of the game.
Helping athletes improve their skills, understand the game, and become confident problem-solvers under pressure.
The short story
Volleyball has shaped how I learn, lead, and compete.
Matt Bohorquez is a volleyball coach based in Northern California with experience coaching athletes from the beginner level through highly competitive club volleyball. He currently coaches the Boys 16-1s team at Red Rock Volleyball Club in Walnut Creek.
As a player, Matt was a three-time All-League selection at St. Patrick-St. Vincent High School, helping lead his team to multiple league championships and two NCS Division III titles. He continued his career at Santa Barbara City College, where he served as team captain and remains among the program’s all-time leaders in digs. He later trained as a practice player with the women’s programs at UC Santa Barbara and Westmont College.
His coaching experience includes boys’ and girls’ club volleyball across multiple age groups as both a head coach and assistant coach. His teams emphasize skill development, decision-making, teamwork, and competitive growth.
Matt believes volleyball is more than learning techniques. It is learning how to solve problems, communicate effectively, and perform under pressure—skills that matter both on and off the court.
“Create a game that teaches, then help players notice what matters.”
How I coach
My philosophy centers on mindful repetition, game-like learning environments, and teaching athletes to read and understand the game at a deeper level. I want players to be challenged, supported, and empowered to take ownership of their development.
Outside the gym, I study skill acquisition, leadership, and athlete development so the work keeps evolving alongside the players.
