Camp Director Tiger Shelton

Tiger Shelton is the Assistant Coach at Arizona Christian University and previous Head Coach at Jessup University.
View Tiger's Bio & Volleyball Tips ⟩
Tiger Shelton officially joined the Jessup Staff as Head Coach of Jessup Volleyball in April of 2019. Through four seasons with the Warriors, Shelton holds an overall record of 45-47, and has led the program to its first GSAC Championship and NAIA Opening Round appearance.

Athletic Director Lance Von Vogt said on the hiring of Shelton, “At the outset of this search, we knew we were looking for someone that is an expert in building a culture with strong ties to our vibrant Northern California volleyball community. Our national search yielded top-flight candidates, and the field was extremely competitive; however, Tiger Shelton quickly rose to the top of our list at each stage of the process."

Shelton’s over 40 years of volleyball experience brings a wealth of knowledge to a program that has now experienced three consecutive winning seasons through 2022.

YEAR-BY-YEAR RESULTS
- Shelton immediately impacted the program in year one, helping Jessup improve their win total by four and increasing their conference win total by six marking a school record for conference wins with 10, the most in program history. The stellar year resulted in the team making their first GSAC playoff appearance and then-senior Vendela Williams being named to the All-GSAC team.
- The Warriors jumped out to two wins in their first three matches in year two under Shelton. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the season was pushed to the spring of 2021, forcing the Warriors to go 13 months without a match. Jessup finished the year 4-14, and the year was capped off with Madison Marlow and Jasmine Pinon earning scholar-athlete nods.
- Year three under Shelton saw the Warriors test themselves in the preseason, competing six times against teams receiving national votes, including two top-10 teams on a trip to Iowa. In conference, Jessup went 10-8, finishing the highest they ever have in the GSAC standings. Along the way, Taylor Dilley and Mary Padilla pieced together record seasons as the two were honored on the All-GSAC team. Dilley's record-breaking season also earned her the honors of an NAIA All-American Honorable Mention.
- The Warriors were red-hot to finish year four under Shelton, closing the season winning 12 of their final 14 matches. Jessup won a program record 12 GSAC matches, clinching the two-seed and a first round bye in the 2022 GSAC Tournament. Wins over Vanguard (semifinals) and Westmont (championship) secured the Warriors their first GSAC Championship in program history, sending the team to the NAIA Opening Round for the first time (five-set loss at Southern Oregon). Shelton was honored for his work as the GSAC and AVCA Regional Coach of the Year, while Marina Gonzalez, Madalyn Miller, and Taylor MacCuish were added to the All-GSAC team.
COACHING EXPERIENCE
Shelton has been a volleyball coach for nearly 40 years, where he's coached at various levels with success at each stop along the way. Shelton has cultivated an extensive career as the Co-founder, director, and coach of Pacific Coast Volleyball Club (PCVC) based in Stockton. His vast coaching experience even goes beyond our borders as he's also coached overseas. Shelton also had a brief stint at Modesto Junior College before joining the Warriors.

Before co-founding PCVC, Shelton coached eight other club squads and three other high school and middle school programs.

Shelton's brings to the court and upbeat personality and expects his ties to the region to help the squad tremendously in recruiting.

"Tiger is a ball of energy and a culture setter," added Von Vogt. "He's also well connected locally and has extensive ties to the club volleyball scene. Our ability to recruit top tier student-athletes will significantly improve as well as the awareness of our program under Tiger's leadership."

Some of Shelton's coaching highlights include Trans Valley League Coach of the Year, as well as winning Southern League Coach of the Year twice. Shelton also won five consecutive CIF championships while coaching at Ripon Christian.

PERSONAL
When asked why he chose to come to Jessup, Shelton said, "I have coached at many levels and around the world for many years. Coaching and working at William Jessup University gives me a chance to help develop a program with a lot of potential and resources along with support from the William Jessup staff and administration into an NAIA power through and by the power of God. The support, the amazing campus, the ability to attract athletes, and the athletes that are already at WJU. It's an exciting time to be a Warrior!"

Shelton hails from San Diego but currently resides in Roseville with his wife Michelle. The two have two children, Andie and Tyson.

SCHOLARSHIPS

We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

Camps are open to any and all entrants, limited only by number, age, grade level and/or gender.

Absolutely! Campers are encouraged to attend multiple sessions. Each program delivers something unique to help players excel in all areas of the game. Many campers will attend more than one session to further refine their skills, compete against new players, or choose a session with a different program focus.

Phenomenal Camp

June 19, 2019: Mick was one of the youngest campers to attend. The gentleman who lead the camp made everyone feel included and welcome. The levels varied greatly, and yet it was run so that experienced players were challenged as well as new, and even the times they were together, it worked. Everyone was encouraging, so my son felt very comfortable and welcome. The instructor was superb. It was quickly very clear that he was experienced, patient, and smart. He taught the boys about life through volleyball, seamlessly. I was incredibly impressed, and my son had a wonderful time. He even seemed more proud of himself after each of the practices.
