Volleyball adds two to staff
The off-season saw two additions to the volleyball coaching staff. Uros Davidovic and Brittany Castelamare will join the team as a volunteer coach and director of operations, respectively.
Davidovic will bring coaching experience with him, as he comes to USF after coaching the Trinity High School girls volleyball team in Camphill, Pennsylvania.
Uros is an incredible addition to our staff, head coach Claire Lessinger said in a press release, We are lucky and grateful that Uros is committing his time to USF Volleyball. He is extremely passionate about the opportunity and we cant wait to have him around consistently.
The addition of Castelamare will mark a return for the former Bull, who began playing volleyball at USF in 2006. She finished her career in the top 10 for USF career assists with 1642 assists.
