Bela Trubint came from Serbia, small country that’s been ranked top five volleyball nations in the world for the past 25 years, for both men and women. He played there professionally for more than 10 years. His teams took part in European Champion League and were National Cup winners for several years. Bela was also a member of the Former Yugoslavian National Team (Serbia was part of Yugoslavia), where he played as an outside hitter.
A back injury ended his playing career, when he moved on to coaching. He started as an assistant coach with his former professional club in Belgrade, Serbia. Upon his arrival in San Diego in 2001, Bela served for two years as the head coach for Point Loma High School Girls Varsity team. He has coached at club level in Southern California ever since. For two years he had coached at Sunwest Volleyball Club, Girls 16s and 17s age category, and after that, Bela has been coaching with Epic Volleyball Club since it’s foundation in 2003. He has extensive experience in working with Girls and Boys teams of all age groups.
Taking from his substantial playing and coaching experience, Bela always has in mind an individual approach to each player, to assure their growth as a player and as a person, regardless of their age and skill level, from an absolute beginner to the highest level of professional volleyball.
He is married and has two daughters. The older one, Mila (19), is on the path of becoming a neuroscientist, and younger Gala (15) plays at Coast VBC as well. She will be on 17-1 team for the incoming season.
