Coach George Hamilton comes to Eastern Wyoming College with over 30 years of coaching experience. He has coached at the university level for four seasons; including helping coach the men’s team at Brigham Young University, the two-year college level for four seasons, the high school level for 18 seasons and at the club level for 10 seasons. He has also worked with USA Volleyball for seven years and the High-Performance Program teams for 18 years.

Coach Hamilton has presented sessions at four different coach’s clinics. He has worked with the USA National Team as they prepared for and competed in the 2016 NORCECA Olympic Qualifier Tournament. He also volunteered with the USA National Team as they prepared for the 2020 Olympic Qualification Tournament. During his first-year coaching, he coached under Carl McGown and was able to learn from one of the best coaches of the game. He is currently on the AVCA High School All-American Selection Committee and the USA Today Power 25 Volleyball ranking committee.

The numerous national and international recruiting contacts that he has offers a great advantage for the program.

“I have worked with several of the top volleyball clubs in the past, and they know me well,” Hamilton said. “I have been able to bring in quite a few of the top recruits from their programs. I am also good friends with Anil Dervisec who was the Head Coach of the Bosnia Senior National Team. He has access to some of the top coaches in the Baltic region to help with recruiting from this area of the world where volleyball is very strong.”

Coach Hamilton has also gained numerous contacts throughout the nation, due to his affiliation with USA Volleyball.

He is also involved with the Gold Medal Squared Volleyball. He was involved in volleyball research to help determine the average time it takes middle blockers to close a block. Hamilton used this data to time his teams’ sets to help the hitter to contact the ball before the block was closed. This data helped one of his outside hitters lead the nation in kills during the 2014 season, and she continued to rank in the top three hitters during the 2015 season.

While he was coaching at Roberts Wesleyan, the team was ranked nationally for the first time in school history and also won their first conference championship. While coaching at Western Texas, the team was nationally ranked in two of the seasons that he was there, which is the only time the school had been ranked nationally. During 14 seasons, his high school teams got ranked within the state polls. He has also been named Coach of the Year three times and was invited to coach three all-star teams. He has coached an athlete named a Second Team All-American and has had 14 athletes named to the All-Conference Team at the collegiate level. He also coached two athletes that was named to the Texas All State Team.
