GALE PUTNAM
14-1 LOCAL HEAD COACH
Gale Putnam is known by all as one of the best teachers of the game. Coach Gale sets the standard for how she communicates with her players, how fun she makes the game and her willingness to always hop in and help the littles grow. Gale has been a staple of Central Oregon volleyball and we're so lucky to have her on our sidelines!
My volleyball experiences are many and at this point in my career I might not remember them all but here are a few highlights!
