COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - University of Utah head volleyball coach Beth Launiere has been named head coach of the U.S. Collegiate National Team (CNT) Europe Tour, USA Volleyball announced on Monday.
In addition, USA Volleyball announced the coaching staffs for all three CNT summer programs, which also includes CNT-China and CNT-Indianapolis.
"I am very honored to have been asked to coach this team and these great athletes," Launiere said. "I look forward to representing the USA while competing in the Global Challenge. It is a great opportunity for all of us to be involved with high-level volleyball, as well as having a great cultural experience this summer."
Joining coach Launiere on the CNT-Europe Tour will be University of Portland Women's Head Coach Brent Crouch and Washington State University Women's Head Coach Jen Greeny. The technical coordinator for CNT-Europe will be the Volleyball Factory's Jared Hazel.
The CNT-Europe squad will train and compete from July 6-16. It will have training matches against an Italian Federation Team July 7, July 8 and July 9 near Milan, Italy, before heading to Pula, Croatia to compete in the Global Challenge July 11-14.
