SACRAMENTO REGION, CA (MPG) -  University of California (UC) Davis volleyball head coach Dan Conners has strengthened his staff with the addition of Prima Glorioso, who brings a wealth of experience to the program ahead of the 2025 season.

Glorioso joins the Aggies after spending the 2024 season serving as founder, club director, and director of college development at Sacramento Core, a boys and girls development volleyball club in Rancho Cordova.

"We are very excited to have Prima join our staff." Coach Conners said. "Her experience and knowledge of the club space will certainly be an asset in recruiting and in the gym. Looking forward to her positive impact on the program!"

After a standout career at Sacramento City College and Cal State East Bay (then Cal State Hayward), Glorioso founded Core in 2006 as a way to provide young athletes with a chance to achieve their dreams of competing at the next level.

While serving as program director for both the boys’ and girls’ programs, she led the girls’ team to a Division 2 Section Title in 2023 and the boys’ side to back-to-back section semi-final appearances. A year later, Glorioso reached the top of the mountain when she helped lead her team to the 2024 national championship in the USA Volleyball Boys 18 Open.

Internationally, Glorioso led her team to the 2016 Junior International Boys Division gold medal. Her other coaching credits include multiple medals for the Boys International High-Performance Team at the USA Volleyball High Performance Championships. She has also served as the head assistant coach for the men's and women's volleyball teams at Menlo College.

Glorioso also holds many different certifications, including USA CAP II, Gold Medal Squared, Impact, Positive Coaching Alliance, and Champions of Character.

Residing in Fair Oaks with her husband Justin and their daughters Kiana and Gabriela, Glorioso remains dedicated to growing the game and inspiring and developing the next generation of student athletes.
