Jeff Huebner was hired as the head coach of PBA volleyball in April 2024.
“I am so excited to join PBA Volleyball,” Huebner said. “I appreciate Courtney Lovely Evans and TJ Budd for placing their faith in me to lead the volleyball program. Palm Beach Atlantic represents a tradition of excellence on the court, in the classroom, and in the community, and I am grateful for the opportunity to serve our student-athletes faithfully every day.”
“From the time I arrived on campus, I was met with transparency, excellence, and thoughtfulness, and that is exactly the experience I know our Sailfish volleyball players will have as recruits, Student-Athletes, and Alumni. We cannot wait to see you in Rubin Arena this fall and grow a championship-minded culture at the premier institution for Christian education."
