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. With the women’s team at MIT, he has built what has become one of the premier Division III volleyball programs in New England.
Dill has worked with the MIT volleyball program since 1992. He served as an assistant coach for three years for both the MIT men’s and women’s varsity programs. Named the head coach of the women’s squad in 1996, Dill has guided it to six NCAA Tournament appearances and two ECAC Championships.
Entering his 15th season, Dill is currently ranked No. 16 out of over 400 active Division III coaches in the nation in overall winning percentage (.749), averaging 27 wins and single-digit losses per season during his career. He has never collected fewer than 20 wins in a season and has three 30-win seasons under his belt, lifting his career record to 381-128. In 2006 and 2007, Dill was named the AVCA Division III New England Region Coach of the Year and the NEWVA Coach of the Year. He also collected NEWMAC Coach of the Year honors in 2002.
Dill began duplicating this success with the MIT men’s team after being summoned to take over the reins of the program in 2004. Since then, he has led the men’s program to six consecutive post-season appearances and an overall record of 178-75. His efforts have been recognized on the MIT campus as he received the MIT Infinite Mile from the Division of Student Life. In addition, Dill was selected for the MIT Excellence Award, which is the highest honor awarded to staff by MIT.
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 club teams.
