Jordan Amling is set to start the budding Lycoming College volleyball program in 2027 as the program's first head coach.
Amling spent the two seasons as the graduate assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Springfield College, where he helped the team to a pair of Division III Championship appearances, reaching the finals in 2025. The Pride went 44-12 (.786) in his two years with the program, including a 25-5 mark in 2025 that included just three losses to Division III opponents.
Amling collaborated on practice planning and developed scouting reports in addition to serving as the program’s recruiting coordinator under 11-time national champion coach Charlie Sullivan.
Prior to his time at Springfield, Amling served as a student-assistant coach with the program at Vanguard University, assisting the team on its way to the 2023 NAIA Championship and two Golden State Athletic Conference titles in 2021 and 2022, as the team made three appearances in the NAIA Championship and reached the semifinals in 2021.
Amling has also worked as a coach with the Balboa Bay Volleyball Club for four years.
A Yorba Linda, Calif., native, Amling earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology, Health and Human Performance from Vanguard University in 2023 and a Master’s in Education, Athletic Leadership from Springfield College in 2025.
What they are saying about Coach Amling…
“Jordan is an extremely capable, driven young coach. We were fortunate to have him on staff when we won the national championship (at Vanguard in 2023). Jordan has invested himself into becoming a highly-qualified head coach and I’m positive Lycoming College will see the payoff. He’s simply a great coach and an even better individual. I wish him and the Warriors much success!”
- Brian Rofer, head men’s volleyball coach at Vanguard University
“Jordan is a great coach who genuinely has concern for his student-athletes development and well-being and I am sure the structure he creates in the program at Lycoming will enable the team to be successful.”
