Jimmy Kim

Jimmy Kim joins the Gamecocks ahead of the 2024 season. He comes to South Carolina from UC Irvine, where he began working with the UCI women’s volleyball program in 2022 as its technical coordinator, and added the same duties with the Anteater’s men’s program the following year. This summer, Kim also added Technical Coordinator duties for USA Volleyball, working with the national team during its run in the Volleyball Nations League.

“I’m thrilled to welcome Jimmy to the staff,” Mendoza said. “His work will be such an asset to our team and the players as we work to achieve our potential. Jimmy’s work on the men’s collegiate game and with USA Volleyball is going to bring great insight as we look for any way to improve or differentiate ourselves in a tightly competitive SEC. So many of our games the last few years were decided by one or two points and Jimmy is the type of person who works his tail off to find anything he can to help our team and players improve.”
