Utes name new Taraflex practice courts after legendary head coach, announce in-season celebration
SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah Volleyball practice facility at Crimson Court is getting a facelift that includes new Taraflex courts that will be named after legendary head coach Beth Launiere, announced Director of Athletics Mark Harlan Thursday afternoon.
"This is such a fitting testimony to the legacy that Beth Launiere has built at the University of Utah," Harlan said. "She has spent countless hours teaching, coaching and training generations of Utah Volleyball student-athletes in Crimson Court, and it is an honor to announce the new Taraflex court surface in the facility will now bear her name."
In addition to the Beth Launiere Courts at Crimson Court, the Utes announced their in-season celebration of Launiere through the weekend of Oct. 23-25 as they host Colorado at the Jon M. Huntsman Center. More celebration details to come later.
"Today we get to honor Beth Launiere, whose 36 years of dedication built the very foundation of Utah Volleyball," first-year head coach Alyssa D'Errico said. "Her vision, leadership, and relentless belief in what this program could become shaped generations of student-athletes and set a standard that continues to guide us today. While wins and accolades mark the record books, her true legacy lives in the student-athletes she impacted. With this court bearing her name, her influence will forever be woven into the fabric of Utah Volleyball and the future that continues to grow from the foundation she created."
Launiere retired at the conclusion of the 2025 season after 36 years as Utah's head coach. Through that span, Launiere became the program's all-time winningest head coach (689-439) with 20 NCAA appearances, the athletic department's second-winningest head coach, and the third-longest tenured head coach in the history of Utah Athletics.
