Jack Pellerin
15 Rise Head Coach
Hi, I'm Coach Jack! I have three years of coaching experience, including two years with Crown City Sports Academy and one year with Highball. Before coaching, I played outside hitter for Crown City in Pasadena, where I was team captain competing in the AAU Open Division. In my final season in 2024, our team placed 3rd at Nationals. I also competed at the CIF Division II level as a setter/opposite for South Pasadena High School, where I was All-League First Team and we won league back-to-back in 2024 and 2025. When I'm not coaching, you can usually find me outdoors, whether I'm hiking in Angeles Crest, backpacking around Rancho Cucamonga, or enjoying a lazy day at the beach.
