David Heid, Assistant Coach – 14 Purple
David caught the volleyball bug in the mid 1980s and have never found a complete cure.
His volleyball “career” began in Portland, Maine where he played in an adult city league each fall and would move on to some other activity in the spring. It was the winter of 1984 when the “bug” really bit him. One night of volleyball each week just wasn’t enough medicine – not even close.
After a couple of years of playing 3 to 4 nights per week, he had improved his game enough to get invited to play in tournaments with more advanced players. Within another year he was totally immersed in the sport. David joined the Maine State Volleyball Association and Yankee Volleyball (part of USA volleyball) as a club player. He was playing indoor tournaments in Maine and Massachusetts during the winter and running a grass doubles league in the summer. Nearly every summer weekend you could find him playing on the sand at Old Orchard Beach. David helped organize, officiate and direct tournaments for adults at the University of Southern Maine and other locations. In 1989 his club team (The Irish Setters) won the Maine state championship (level B) defeating the University of Maine men’s club team.
After moving to the Pacific Northwest, he continued to play club ball in the Seattle-Tacoma area until he moved to Corvallis, Oregon in 1995. In 2007 David renewed his passion for the game (and extended his volleyball education) working clinics and a couple of summer camps in the Vancouver area for Christie Strawn. Christie is an enthusiastic and highly experienced coach having played division-1 volleyball and coached at Cornell University.
Last season he joined CCJV as an assistant coach to Shawn Perez for the U14 purple team and had a wonderful, rewarding season working with the club’s players, parents, and staff. In September of 2009 he became a volleyball official with the Washington Officials Association and has had the privilege to work many competitive high school matches this year.
For a career, he was a process engineer for 24 years in the computer chip manufacturing industry. His new “real” job is working as a staff assistant with ESL students at Harmony Elementary school in the Evergreen District.

They placed in the top two positions at District four times, winning the Championship in 2006. The 2005 team won the Region 3-4 Championship.

His passion is to leverage the entire competitive experience for a purpose higher than wins, losses or college scholarships. He believes sport is a family value that can benefit parents, kids and their communities. Tomas’ is in charge of parent involvement.
