Carol Kashow and the crew for the opportunity to be part of the Bloodhounds family." Dibelius said. "To go along with the ever-improving athletic programs here, there is a positive, upbeat attitude as the journey to achieve greatness continues. Frankly speaking, I would not miss this for the world."
Coach Dibelius is no stranger to CUNYAC Volleyball. After playing overseas for a military team in Darmstadt, Germany (1992-1993), he played one season in 1994 for Hunter College where the team won the CUNYAC Men's Volleyball Championship and was invited to the EIVA postseason tournament.
Shortly after, Dibelius served as the head and assistant coach for the men's and women's volleyball teams at New York City Technical College (1999-2001). He moved on to Baruch College to assist the men's volleyball program (2003-2005) and then later became the head men's volleyball coach at the City College of New York (2008) where his efforts earned them an invitation to the NECVA postseason tournament.
Coach Dibelius spent the next few years coaching high school boys' volleyball at Hunter College High School (2011-2015). He amassed a 118-27 record (56-2 conference), including a 38-1 record in 2014 to win the PSAL championship. His team was ranked 47th nationally by MaxPreps, and MSG Varsity awarded him Coach of the Year. He also served as the head girls' volleyball coach at the Kew Forest School during the 2014 fall season.
Dibelius graduated from Marymount Manhattan College in 2007 with a 3.57 GPA, earning his degree in a highly-competitive, nationally-recognized theatre performance program.
In his leisure, he still enjoys theatre performance. He is an avid fan of football and mixed martial arts, and he remains an active competitive volleyball player. He takes great pride in his military service and is excited to be coaching at his mother's alma mater ('78).
