Stephanie Moreno
Head Coach Palos Verdes High School
Girls Volleyball

Stephanie has a deep passion for volleyball and developing young players on and off the court. She especially loves how the game mirrors life and helping young student-athletes develop a positive mentality, team first attitude, decision-making skills, and time management skills.

Moreno is a native of San Mateo, CA and was a four-year starter at Notre Dame High School Belmont as an outside hitter, middle and setter. She continued her playing career at the University of San Diego where she was a part of the 1998 West Coast Conference championship Torero squad and was the only player to appear in all 101 games that season. Moreno graduated with a degree in English and Communications in 2002 and attained her Masters in Leadership Studies from USD in 2010.

Following graduation she returned to Northern California and began coaching at Menlo middle school, Menlo high school, and Menlo College. Moreno was instrumental in helping the Oaks improve from a 5-17 team in 2002 to a 21-3 team in 2004. She then joined the staff at Cal State Fullerton in 2005 before returning to her alma mater, USD, where she was on staff from 2005-2013. During her time on the coaching staff at USD, the Toreros were ranked in the AVCA Top 25 poll each year, appeared in the NCAA tournament seven times, including two Sweet Sixteen advances, and won four WCC Championship titles. In 2009, Moreno was also named one of the AVCA’s Thirty under 30 coaches.

Stephanie took a break from coaching when she got married and moved to the South Bay in 2013. She returned to the coaching scene in recent years spending the past three seasons at St. Lawrence Martyr in Redondo Beach. She also works with the 10s and 11s groups at Mizuno Long Beach.

Moreno attained her CPA license in 2021 and continues to work for her family owned accounting firm. She resides in Torrance with her husband, Scott, and daughter, Colette. They are all excited to be a part of the Sea King family.
