Eric Johnson is entering his fifth year as an assistant coach for the George Mason men's volleyball team. He previously served as a volunteer assistant coach for both the George Mason men's and women's volleyball programs.
A native of Tustin, Calif., Johnson put together a decorated playing career at both the professional and college levels. He suited up for Balboa Bay Volleyball Club for eight seasons in Orange County, Calif., and coached the program for three years after his playing career was complete. He led the club to Junior National silver medals and two bronzes as a coach and led the same Balboa Bay club program to a gold and two bronze medals as a player.
Johnson starred for Division III volleyball powerhouse Springfield College during his undergraduate career, leading the Pride to two NCAA Championship titles over his four seasons. His seven service aces in the 2014 NCAA Quarterfinal is a national record that still stands today.
While in college, Johnson joined the USA Volleyball Team and participated at the 2013 World University Games in Kazan, Russia.
