Lincoln – Nebraska Head Assistant Coach Lee Maes was selected as the head coach of the U.S. Women’s Junior National A2 Team for next month’s European Global Challenge in Pula, Croatia
The European Global Challenge, which takes place from July 17-27, features some of the top junior players in the world. It marks the second straight summer that Maes will coach the U.S. Junior National A2 Team. In 2006, he led the squad to a gold medal at the High Performance Championships in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
Maes, who is in his third season as Nebraska’s head assistant coach, has been involved in the USA Volleyball Coaching circuit for the past 14 years, including a pair of assistant coaching stints with the U.S. A2 National Team in 2004 and 2005. Prior to that role, he led the girls’ National High Performance team as head coach in training and competition from 1999 to 2003. Maes also coached the USA Girls Youth National Team in both 1998 and 1999, leading team USA to a gold medal at the NORCECA Zone Championship in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico.
Maes’ squad is one of two U.S. Women’s Junior National A2 Teams that will be in competition this summer. The other A2 team will participate in the USA High Performance Championship July 16-26 in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
