Jason Bowles

Jason is a passionate and experienced coach who specializes in player development and confidence-building through the sport of volleyball.

Jason is currently entering his second season as an assistant coach for the Wisconsin Lutheran College men’s volleyball team (NCAA DIII). With a diverse coaching background that spans the collegiate, high school, and club levels in IL and WI—including programs like Cardinal Stritch University, York Community High School, I AM Volleyball, 630 Volleyball, and the Volleyball Institute—Jason brings a wealth of knowledge to every athlete he works with.

He is also coaching at Whitefish Bay High School as the JV head and varsity assistant coach, Jason is deeply committed to developing youth athletes both technically and mentally. A former four-year starter at Cardinal Stritch University, he helped the Wolves to three NAIA National Tournament appearances, earning All-Conference honors as well as being elected team captain his senior year.

While working with The Volleyball Institute’s Chicago branch, Jason specialized in private and small-group indoor training sessions for youth and collegiate-level athletes. After relocating back to the Milwaukee area, he continued offering these sessions and now aims to help establish a Milwaukee branch of The Volleyball Institute in the coming year to provide indoor training for the community.

Jason has been involved with VolleyLife since 2016, when he served as a league coordinator for beach leagues and assisted with the Junior USAV Beach Championships in Milwaukee. He has recently worked with VolleyLife’s youth clinics at Bradford Beach and brings years of experience both playing and coaching beach and indoor volleyball.

Jason offers private lessons that emphasize technical growth, game IQ, and most importantly—confidence through volleyball. His coaching philosophy: “Mistakes aren’t failures - they’re opportunities. Each mistake gives us a chance to break old habits, build better ones, and grow stronger. When we learn to embrace the process, we build confidence and create the consistent results we’re striving for.”
