Since his graduation from Bates College in 1989,
Paul Dill’s involvement in volleyball has spanned both sexes,
nearly all age groups, and two continents. Entering his seventh
season with the men’s team at MIT, he has built what has
become one of the premier Division III volleyball programs in New
England.
Dill began duplicating his success with the MIT women’s team
after being summoned to take over the reins of the program in 2004.
In 2009, he was the inaugural recipient of the North East
Collegiate Volleyball Association’s David Hildebrandt Rising
Star Award. The Engineers recorded their fifth consecutive 20-win
season and made their fifth straight appearance at the NECVA
Conference Tournament.
Dill has worked with the MIT volleyball program since he became an
assistant coach in 1992. He served in that capacity for three years
for both men’s and women’s varsity programs before
being named the head coach of the women’s squad in 1996.
Since then, Dill has guided the women’s team to six
appearances in the NCAA Tournament and two ECAC Championships.
Before coaching the MIT men’s squad, Dill directed the
Emmanuel College men’s team to a 12-8 record in its first
season of varsity competition. He also co-coached the England
Women’s Junior National Team for four years, and was an
assistant coach for a Division I National League women’s club
team in the English Volleyball Association. Other experience
includes coaching the University of Connecticut men’s
volleyball club team while earning his MBA, serving as the manager
of the Bates College women’s team as an undergraduate, and
coaching the men’s open division of the Bay State Games.
As a player, Dill captained both the Bates and
UConn men's teams, and he has played for several USAV and English
