Mike Gimon.


Head Coach

Biography:

Mike Gimon is in his 17th year as Varsity volleyball coach and his fourth year as Head Track Coach.  Mike started coaching here at CHS in 1997 at the throws coach and then became the JV Volleyball coach in 1998.  In 2000, Mike was promoted to Head Varsity volleyball coach. Mike's goal in volleyball is to teach them the game so they feel empowered when they step on the court and take that with them when they step off the court and into their lives.

Mike took a break from Track and Field in 2007and returned in 2014 as Head Coach and oversee's the throws again.  A thrower's goal is to pick things up and put them down very far away. 

As a coach of both teams, the focus is on scholarship, sportmanship and fellowship.
