Travers Green | Head CoachGreen is just the eighth head coach in program history and joined the Raiders following a four-year stint at Mississippi State, where he served as the program's associate head coach during his last three campaigns.
Green joined the Raiders following a 25-win season with Mississippi State in the fall of 2021 that saw the program finish second in the SEC standings as it ended the regular season on a 13-match winning streak before falling to Hawaii in a five-set thriller in the NCAA Tournament. During the 2020-21 fall-spring hybrid season, adjusted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Green and Mississippi State tallied series sweeps on the road at No. 7 Texas A&M and at home against in-state rival Ole Miss. In 2019, Green helped Mississippi State to an 11-1 start, which tied the program's best 12-match start all-time, while his work with setter Alleah Stamatis helped her become just the seventh Bulldog all-time to reach 1,000 assists in a single season.
Prior to Mississippi State, Green served four seasons as an assistant coach at the University of South Florida. At USF, he worked with the Bulls' setters and was tasked with running their defensive system. During his third season at USF, the 2016 season (19-13) marked the program's best record since 2007. A former setter who played club volleyball at Florida State University, Green increased the Bulls' assists per set average each season from 11.48 in 2014, 12.17 in 2015, and 12.42 in 2016. He guided USF setter Alex Mendoza to fourth in career assists with 3,147. Mendoza became just the fifth player in program history to reach 3,000 career assists.
Green's collegiate coaching career began as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Florida International University (2012-13) where he learned from two former Olympians — Rita Buck-Crockett and Felix Hou.
Green remained involved with the Florida Region of USA Volleyball during his early college coaching days. He served as an assistant coach for the region's high-performance team, Team Florida (2013-2017), and its professional team, Florida Wave (2014-16). In 2009, Green was named the head coach of Lake Mary High School, his alma mater, where he posted a 61-23 record in three years at the helm. His teams won the conference title twice and earned a district championship in 2010. In 2009, Green brought the program its first conference championship since 1997. He also maintained the role of head coach and club administrator at Orlando Volleyball Academy (OVA) from 2008-12. At OVA, his teams had multiple top 10 finishes at AAU Nationals, most notably a second-place finish in 2011. Green was named Seminole Athletic Conference Coach of the Year in 2009 and 2010 and the 2010 Male Coach of the Year while at OVA.
An Orlando, Florida native, Green graduated from Florida State in 2008 with a Bachelor of Science in recreation and leisure services administration.
