Biography

“Larry Trupe is an outstanding example for successful high school volleyball coaches,” NHSCA executive director Bob Ferraro said. “They place a high value on the teamwork skills players learn for success in the classroom and on the field, and we are proud to be honoring him.”

Trupe helped make Torrey Pines High one of the volleyball powerhouses of southern California during the decade of the 1990s. Last year’s team won its second consecutive San Diego Section title (volleyball is contested only to the section level in California). It was Torrey Pines’ eighth section title of the decade, having won six in succession from 1990-95.
