Asst. Coach
Ken Ma
Coach Ken's Bio
Ken Ma is excited to join the DIG family this year, but is no stranger to coaching volleyball. Prior to coming to DIG, Ken spent 6 years coaching at Blocksport and worked with age groups 13-15’s primarily.
Ken was introduced to volleyball when he was young and played for Greenhill before attending the University of Rochester, where he played libero and setter in college.
Ken loves working with athletes to help them set small individual goals, which contribute to larger, overall team goals.
Favorite core value at DIG
Ken loves the core value of INTEGRITY. To him, this is a fundamental trait in athletes that includes being accountable for personal actions and even calling touches the referee doesn’t catch. When you are an athlete of integrity, this spills over into your personal life, which strengthens your overall character.
Personal
Ken is excited to marry his fiance at the end of this year. When he’s not wedding planning, he enjoys coaching softball and spending time with family.
