Mike

Michael Dedee is the Head Volleyball Coach at Roberts Wesleyan University.

Mike Dedee was named the first head coach of the Roberts Wesleyan men’s volleyball program in May 2023. In his first year he immediately saw success with his team by winning the NCCAA Invitational and being named ECC co-coach of the year. Additionally, five players (the most in the conference) were named to the All-Conference Team.

Dedee’s philosophy is to ensure that the young men at Roberts Wesleyan University receive valuable life lessons on the court that can be applied to the sport of volleyball but also work, school, relationships and more. He is also passionate about being a teacher that helps the team be competitive, but also be the best people they can while at Roberts and for a long time thereafter.

Dedee has an extensive volleyball resume that includes playing volleyball since high school. He enjoyed a standout volleyball career playing club volleyball for Rochester Pace Volleyball Club, professional beach volleyball, and playing at Genesee Community College in Batavia before moving on to play at Division I University of California at Irvine. Dedee earned his Bachelor’s degree in psychology from UC Irvine and his Master’s in social work from the University of California, Long Beach. Dedee spent several years in the social work field.

Dedee has recruited and coached many players who have later joined Division I, II and III teams. Prior to coming to Roberts, Dedee coached for Webster High School as the Junior Varsity Head Coach and Varsity Assistant Coach, including 2022 when they made it to the State Finals. He continues to coach for Rochester Pace Volleyball Club (since 2015) at various ages including coaching a 14U team to No.5 in the country in 2019 and winning various tournaments. In addition, he was named the Associate Head Coach for the Western Empire Volleyball Association (WEVA) U17 All Stars in 2024.

Dedee, who is also a professional magician, lives in Webster with his wife, Tracey. They have two sons, Michael and Matthew.
