Melvin Balogh has been a dedicated member of the volleyball coaching community for over two decades. A graduate of Great Lakes Christian College, Melvin began his coaching career in 1999 and has since worked with NAIA, NCAA, and NJCAA programs, including a season as an assistant coach at McNeese State and head coaching roles at Peru State College and Clarendon College in Texas. Melvin’s coaching philosophy focuses on developing the “Complete Collegiate Athlete,” fostering growth academically, athletically, and spiritually. His deep connection to GLCC and passion for servant-leadership have brought him back to his alma mater as the full-time head coach for women’s volleyball.

Melvin and his wife, Kristy, live with their three children and enjoy staying active in the community. A competitive disc golf player, Melvin brings energy, dedication, and a heart for mentoring young athletes to every role he takes on. We are thrilled to have Melvin joining us to serve as Dean for volleyball camp!
