UCLA has chosen Alfred “Alfee” Reft as head coach of the women’s volleyball team. He led the University of San Diego Toreros to its first-ever NCAA championship semifinal appearance this year as associate head coach.
Reft is a seasonal assistant coach for the U.S. women’s national team under UCLA alumnus Karch Kiraly. Reft, who has been a player and coach on the U.S. men’s and women’s national teams, also has Big Ten Conference experience. He was an assistant at the University of Illinois from 2018-19 and the University of Minnesota from 2010-12.
“Alfee is one of the brightest young volleyball minds in the country and a proven winner,” said Martin Jarmond, UCLA’s Alice and Nahum Lainer Director of Athletics. “After leading his prior team to a Final Four finish in the NCAA Tournament and having four seasons of Big Ten coaching experience, I am confident he will add to the storied legacy of our volleyball program. We are delighted to welcome him into our Bruin family.”
