Head Coach: Dale Henderson

(5th season)

Dale Henderson, in his fifth season as Porterville College head women's volleyball coach, has proven to be one of the rising stars in the profession.

Last year, the Pirates overcame a tough preseason schedule, and finished 8-6 (fourth) in the Central Valley Conference.

In 2009, Henderson led the Pirates to one of the most successful campaigns in college history. His team went 17-6 overall, including an 11-3 second-place finish in the CVC.

The team set school records for best postseason seed (No. 10), highest final NorCal ranking (No. 10), and best overall state ranking (No. 21). The 2009 volleyball team was voted "Team of the Year" at the PC Awards.

Henderson was also runner-up as CVC Coach of the Year. Over the past three seasons, 11 of his players have been voted First or Second Team All-CVC as well.

In 2008, Henderson guided PC to a 13-9 mark – giving the Pirates the best turn-around record in the state (from 2 wins in 2007). For their achievements, Henderson and then-assistant coach Gracie Steidley were honored as the college "Coaching Staff of the Year."

Prior to joining the PC staff, Henderson coached girls varsity volleyball at Redwood High School in Visalia. He led the Rangers to their first-ever Valley championship title.

In five years at Redwood, he compiled an impressive record of 107-42.

Henderson also made a name for himself coaching the club circuit.

He coached the Sequoia Crush, and was the founder and coach for the V-Town Volleyball Club.
He played volleyball in the United State Army (1983-85) as an outside hitter.

His American Service team won a Post Championship title in 1984 – the same year the club won the European title. Henderson was named Most Valuable Player.
