Matt Reinsel was named the first head coach of the Roanoke College men's volleyball program in the fall of 2021.
Reinsel comes to Salem after a stellar playing and coaching career at Carthage College in Wisconsin. In his four years as a player at Carthage, the St. Louis native concluded his collegiate career ranked second in school history with 3,714 assists, along with an 11.02 assists-per-set average. Reinsel claimed three-consecutive NCAA Division III statistical national championships in assists per set: 10.88 as a sophomore, 10.84 as a junior, and 11.95 (NCAA record) as a senior. His record-setting senior campaign landed him 2019 AVCA Division III Men's Player of the Year and Reinsel was named 2019 Midwest Collegiate Volleyball League Offensive Player of the Year.
The transition from playing to coaching for the four-time American Volleyball Coaches Association Division III Men's All-American and four-time All-Midwest Collegiate Volleyball League honoree was a smooth one. Reinsel went from the court to the sidelines at Carthage as a Graduate Assistant for the past two seasons. This past April, at the Salem Civic Center, Reinsel and the Firebirds completed a perfect, 23-0, season that culminated with the NCAA DIII Men's Volleyball National Championship. In addition to coaching at his alma mater, Reinsel spent time as an assistant coach at Tremper High School while completing his Masters of Education in Sports Leadership.
