ALEX DE NES

Meet our Junior’s and Little’s Coach Alex De Nes!

A multi-sport athlete for over 20 years, Alex de Nes has competed at the collegiate level for sports including swimming, water polo, soccer, and rugby. He began coaching when he was only 15 years old as he happened to find himself giving swimming lessons and hasn’t stopped since. His coaching philosophy is built around growing individual ability while empowering athletes to become leaders on and off the court.

Volleyball is his passion and favorite sport as it always finds ways to challenge players and he believes the crowd is just right the vibe. His true love is beach volleyball, but you can find him coaching a few indoor teams in Houston if you know where to look. An avid player, you are likely to find him training or basking in the sun at Third Coast when he isn’t coaching.

He is one of our Lead Juniors coaches and you can find him with our Littles, our Juniors, or helping out with our College Prep team.
