  • I really appreciated the smaller camp size and the individual coaching you were able to give me. I played a lot of defense this year so, of course, I was very thankful for the individual tips during the shooting drills. I hope you guys have more camps like that, I’ll attend as many as I can.
  • My daughter loved being able to work at the set position. The coaching staff was great and really encouraged each student to perform. The staff really made you feel like part of the Cal family. Thank you.

    Head Coach

    Simmons has led Cal to the semifinals of the NCAA Championship in four of her six seasons in Berkeley. The Bears have finished each of those seasons ranked in the top-4 nationally. Simmons has produced 24 ACWPC All-America selections and 78 ACWPC All-Academic picks, including a whopping 20 last season.

    The Bears had another memorable season in 2022, finishing the year ranked No. 3 nationally after advancing to the semifinals of the NCAA Championship. Cal went 17-6, including wins over No. 2 Stanford and No. 3 UCLA.

    Cal went 12-7 in 2021 and finished the season ranked No. 6 nationally. The Bears registered 11 victories over ranked opponents, and all of their losses came to teams ranked in the top-5.

    The Bears went 11-7 in the COVID-19 shortened 2020 season, despite playing without three of their top players who each sat out the season to train for the Summer Olympics. Cal still managed to knock off four top-10 opponents along the way.

    The Bears finished 2019 with a record of 17-9 after an overtime loss to No. 1 USC in the NCAA semifinals. In 2018, Simmons led Cal to its first No. 1 national ranking in 18 years.

    Simmons also is heavily involved in the U.S. National Team program, having served in a variety of roles as a head coach and assistant coach. She has twice served as head coach for the U.S. Junior National Team at the FINA Junior World Championships - winning the gold medal in 2015 - and has been an assistant coach for the U.S. Senior Team and Youth National Team, each of which won gold medals at the World Championships. In 2019, she was an assistant at the U.S. Junior World Championships.

    Simmons is simply one of the most respected figures in the water polo community, reaching lofty heights as both an athlete and coach. She is regarded as one of the greatest female American players ever, having led the United States to the silver medal at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia and twice being named the NCAA Player of the Year while a student-athlete at UCLA. She helped the Bruins win the first-ever NCAA Championship in 2001. She was named to the Pac-12 All-Century Team in 2016.

    Her coaching career began in 2005 as an assistant at Hawaii, where she helped the Rainbows record their first-ever top-four finish at the NCAA Championships. She moved on to become an assistant at her alma mater, helping UCLA capture the 2007 NCAA title.

    It didn't take long for Simmons to scale the coaching ladder. After one year each as an assistant at Hawaii and UCLA, she was named the head coach at Sonoma State University. She led the Seawolves program for nine years, twice being named the Division II National Coach of the Year.
