Tyler Gladden

14U Venice Head Coach

I have been involved in volleyball for over 15 years, both as a player and a coach. I began playing at the age of 12 and participated in the Iowa High Performance Program for three summers during high school. After graduating, I attended the University of Northern Iowa (UNI), where I continued to play volleyball while also starting my coaching career at the Club Iowa Academy (CIA). I coached at CIA for five seasons and was also a practice player for the UNI women's team for three seasons.

In 2016, I transitioned to coaching high school varsity volleyball at Waterloo West, where I spent two seasons. In 2018, I moved to Des Moines and began coaching for Roots Volleyball Club. This will be my fourth year coaching at Roots and my ninth overall coaching at this level.
