Bio:
Michael Zile begins his first season as head coach of the girls volleyball program for the 2026 season. With more than 20 years of coaching experience, Zile brings a proven track record of building successful programs and developing student-athletes at all levels of competition.
Throughout his career, Zile has transformed teams into championship contenders, highlighted by his tenure at Bethlehem Catholic High School where he led the program to its first league title and a PIAA State Championship. He later continued his success at Liberty High School, guiding the Hurricanes to multiple EPC playoff appearances and District XI berths while mentoring All-State and All-American players.
In addition to his high school experience, Zile is actively involved in club and youth volleyball. He currently coaches with Synergy Volleyball Club, competing at a national level, and has spent over a decade growing the Our Lady of Perpetual Help CYO program from just two teams to a thriving five-team organization. His leadership includes mentoring coaches, organizing competitive leagues, and fostering player development from the ground up.
A Lehigh Valley native, Zile played collegiately at Moravian College and continues to stay active in competitive volleyball. He holds multiple coaching certifications, including USA Volleyball CAP Level II, and emphasizes a philosophy centered on clear communication, game-like training, and building a positive, team-first culture.
Coach Zile is committed to developing Notre Dame student-athletes both on and off the court and is excited to lead the Crusaders into a new era of girls volleyball.

This approach fosters growth, accountability, character building, and unity as we work together to become true contenders, both on and off the court.
