George Mulry

Mulry's 2010 PV Juniors 17 Open team found much success winning the 18 Open New England Regional Championship. A pretty big feat for a 17's team...especially since a few players were eligible for 15's & 16's!! They were also Gold Medal winners at the Great Nor'easter Tournament, Apex 17/18 Open Tournament, and two NERVA 18 Open Tournaments.

team guiding them to a record of 52-24 and the girl’s junior varsity volleyball team leading them to a record of 67-7 including a 17-0 record for the 2006 season.

Mulry also led his teams to a 5th place finish out of 99 teams (including 3 silver medals) in 2007 as well as a 7th place finish out of 86 teams (including 1 silver medal) in 2006.
As a player, Coach Mulry played two years of high school volleyball at Holyoke helping the team to a quarter- and semi-final finish in the Western Mass Playoffs as defensive specialist and outside hitter. In college, George was also the starting defensive specialist
