In the club and youth circuit, he has led regional all-star teams and guided squads to podium finishes, including a third-place national result with the GEVA U15 boys team.
Boyes’ additional coaching stops include Villanova University, Kean University, Gwynedd Mercy University, CJVA, and Archbishop Wood High School, where he oversaw the launch of a new boys’ volleyball program that quickly became one of the top-ranked high school teams in Pennsylvania.
