Club President & Owner
Brian Gimmillaro,
Head Coach, Long Beach State University
 Regarded as one of the top volleyball minds in the country, Brian Gimmillaro begins his 22nd season with The Beach. The Long Beach State graduate has continually taken the 49ers to new heights as one of the winningest and most successful volleyball programs over the past two decades. Because of Gimmillaro, Long Beach State has earned a place among the nation’s elite. With three National Championships, eight Final Fours, 13 NCAA Regionals and 20 NCAA Tournaments to his credit, it is no wonder that Long Beach State enters every season as a national contender.
Over the past 10 seasons, LBSU has won a National title, and has appeared in four Final Fours and six NCAA Regionals. Over that time, the team record is an impressive 286-47 (.859), including a combined 129-30 mark (.811) over the last five seasons. Heading into the 2006 campaign, Gimmillaro has amassed a striking .811 winning percentage (578-135) over 21 seasons. Against one of the toughest conferences in the the country, the Big West, LBSU has won 78 percent (282-80) of their matches, including nine conference crowns. In 18 of the last 19 seasons, Gimmillaro’s teams have won at least 20 matches, and in eight of the last 15 years, the team has won at least 30 matches.
