Wyatt Bollinger became head coach of the men's volleyball program at Goshen College in April 2025.
"I'm thrilled to announce Wyatt Bollinger as our new head coach for the men's volleyball program," said interim athletic director Chad Coleman. "As a former player and assistant coach at Goshen College, Wyatt brings a deep understanding of what it means to be a Maple Leaf. Over the past two years, he's grown tremendously under the mentorship of coach Jeff Phillips. I'm grateful to Jeff for his continued leadership with our women's program and am excited to see Wyatt step into this opportunity."
"The chance to continue growing alongside this program is a dream come true," Bollinger shared. "I learn just as much as our student-athletes in this role, and I'm thrilled to continue helping men's volleyball, athletics, and the Goshen College community grow and thrive."
Bollinger hails from Harrisonburg, Virginia, and played at Eastern Mennonite University from 2018-2022 before transferring to Goshen as a setter. While with the Maple Leafs, Bollinger surpassed 1,000 career collegiate assists and finished with 733 assists in his one season at Goshen. He holds the program record for assists per set at 9.28 and is in the top ten in the record book for assists, serve efficiency and aces per set.
"I feel very confident that this decision sets up both programs for long-term success," said former head coach Jeff Phillips. "Goshen volleyball is in a good place moving forward."
"I hope to bring consistency in a somewhat chaotic process," said Bollinger. "Getting the chance to grow as a player, as an assistant coach, and now as a head coach feels like a natural progression that I hope will give this team some steadiness and calm in knowing what to expect. Apart from the plethora of talent on this current squad, growth mentality and the openness to build bridges in the program will be our biggest ally."
