KLAMATH FALLS, Oregon– Oregon Tech Athletic Director Michael Schell announced today that Jason Corwin of Springfield, Oregon will lead the Oregon Tech volleyball program into the upcoming 2010 season.

The team is extremely excited for the upcoming season.”
Corwin, who has taught Health and Physical Education in the Springfield area for the past five years, beat out a very strong field of over 80 applicants. Corwin has experience at both the club and high school level where his teams have excelled each season. In both 2007 and 2008, Corwin co-coached with Didier Hemelsoet the 18 Gold Webfoot Juniors volleyball club. The 2008 team achieved a third place CEVA finish. Corwin is currently heading the 18 Silver squad where his team is ranked 17th in CEVA competition.
In both 2007 (co-coach with Didier Hemelsoet) and 2009, Corwin led Thurston High School to two Midwestern League championships, while adding a 2nd place finish in 2008. Corwin has also led the Colts to three-consecutive sixth place finishes (co-coach 2007) at the Oregon State 5A volleyball tournament, while also named Midwestern League Coach of the Year after leading the Colts to an undefeated league record in 2009.
“I am very excited about the prospect of coaching at Oregon Institute of Technology and want to thank Mike Schell for showing his confidence in what I want to accomplish here at OIT.” Corwin continued, “I have been fortunate enough to step into a program with some excellent players, terrific students, and wonderful people who have represented this school very well. It is clear to me that the future of this program is very bright and I am very happy that Klamath Falls will be home for me and my family.”
Corwin graduated from Western Oregon University in 1999 with a BA in History, while gaining his Master of Teaching degree in 2004 from Pacific. Jason and his wife of 17 years, Katie, have two children, Haley (14) and Carson (9).
