Tom Beard is returning to San Clemente as the school’s girls volleyball coach. Beard replaces Rob O’Rear who resigned after last season.

Beard is a San Clemente alum, former All-American at Pepperdine and a former member of the U.S. National team. He is also the director of the San Clemente Volleyball Club.

“After an extensive search, we are thrilled that Tom has agreed to take over the San Clemente High School Girls’ volleyball program,” Tritons Athletic Director Jon Hamro said. “Tom brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for the game of volleyball, and understands how important it is to instill a genuine love for the game in his players as well.

“Tom lives in San Clemente and is well aware of the program’s history of success and the importance of volleyball in our community. I look forward to watching Tom elevate our program to even greater heights in the years to come.”
