Welcome Donny Ribaudo to the Folsom Lake Surf Coaching Staff
We are proud to welcome Donny Ribaudo to our coaching staff. Donny is currently the Head Coach for the women’s program at Folsom Lake College, where he has established a nationally ranked powerhouse winning 5 conference titles, advancing to the playoffs each year, participating in two final fours and transferring over 40 student-athletes to the next level in his first 7 seasons.
The nationally ranked Falcons have also excelled in the classroom, averaging a 3.0 team GPA every single season since the inception of the program. The program has been recognized twice as the scholar team of the year. There have been four Scholar All-Americans and one National Scholar Athlete of the Year.
Before coming to FLC, Ribaudo was an assistant coach for Chico State’s men’s program; having helped with the recruitment process at Chico, Donny will be a valuable resource for our college placement program.
Donny will not coach a team for Surf, rather he will offer supplemental programming for our older players with an emphasis on preparing players for the demands of college play and balancing academics with athletics. Keep an eye out for these programs; Donny is a great coach and our players will learn a lot from him!
Donny holds an MA and BA in Kinesiology, and a Premier Coaching Diploma from the NSCAA.
