Bart Foley - Head Coach
Coach Foley took over the program in 2022, guiding the Mavericks to an improbable 13-2 conference record (16-6 overall), a 2nd place finish in Wesco and a 2nd place also in Districts, earning the program its first trip to the State Tournament since 2013. The remarkable inaugural season would see the Mavericks ranked as high as 6th in the state RPI rankings, highlighted by signature wins over Lynnwood (3-2), Arlington (3-2), Glacier Peak (3-2) and Archbishop Murphy (3-0). The Mavs would advance to State after a quarter-final District win over Shorewood and a resounding 3-0 sweep clincher vs Monroe. Maverick players would earn All-Wesco League 1st Team (Tanna Kollen), 2nd Team All-Wesco (Steph Grimes) and Honorable Mention All-Wesco (Aubrey Congdon).
Bart Foley came to Meadowdale after a highly successful 14 year run at King's High School. From 2008-2014, King's distinguished itself as one of the top high school volleyball programs in the state of Washington. During Coach Foley's time, King's went a combined 259-31 (.880). Bart was the Head Coach at King's from 2018-2021. Foley's career mark as Head Coach was 58-5 (.914). The 2020 season was played in the spring of 2021 and King's would play a total of 19 matches, going 17-2 'en route to the Emerald Sound Conference title for the 2nd straight season. Foley's second year at the helm in 2019 would feature one of the best teams in school history. The Knights would dominate conference play, going 10-0 with zero sets lost and take the North Sound Conference Title. King's would continue its dominance though District and Bi-District play with 3-0 wins over Lynden Christian and Overlake to take District and Bi-District Championships for the 2nd straight season. The Knights would go 3-1 at State with wins over Okanogan, Meridian and Lakeside (9 Mile) and a 2-3 loss to Chelan in the final.

Foley joined the King’s staff in 2008 and the Knights promptly won the school its first state championship, with a repeat in 2009. Prior to becoming Head Coach, Foley was the Associate Head Coach for the program from 2015-2017 helping guide the Knights back to the program's 3rd state title in 2017. Bart is passionate about helping every athlete become the best they can be on and off the floor.

Foley has also served a 6-year stint as an executive board member for the Puget Sound Region of USA Volleyball (2015-2021).
Foley got his start playing volleyball on the beaches of Golden Gardens and Alki back when most thought if you were playing doubles it must be because you were short players. Bart quickly took to the sport and ascended into the upper tier of local players, routinely competing for tournament wins throughout the northwest. Foley also played for the club volleyball team at Washington State University (1989-92). Coach Foley's team at home includes a beautiful wife and four children, including 3 daughters that played/play volleyball.

Micah Reitan - C-Team Head Coach
Coach Reitan joins the staff this fall as a first year C-Team coach. Coach Reitan started coaching volleyball in the fall of 2019 at Alderwood Middle School. In his two years as the 7th grade coach, the two 7th grade teams had a combined 21-1 (.950) record. Coming out of Covid, in the fall of 2021, he moved to Meadowdale Middle School (his neighborhood school) and coached the 7th grade team. The team went 6-2 (.750). Though he is extremely proud of the accomplishments on the courts, he is most proud of three things: the relationships formed, become strengthened, and have grown over the years between one another, their academic standings, community service and citizenship, and the continuous love and joy the game of volleyball brings to those he has been fortunate to coach.
Coach Reitan is very familiar with the Meadowdale community and culture. He taught ELA at the high school (1998-2003), his two children graduated through the 3 Meadowdale Schools (Isaiah, Class of 2019) and (Julia, Class of 2022). He also coaches the girls’ 7th grade basketball team and is the girls’ head track coach at MMS. We believe Coach Reitan will be a great bridge between the middle and high school volleyball programs.
