Kyle Webb '05
Athletic and Activities Director
Kyle Webb (鈥�05) and his family make their home in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. His passion for volleyball is what brought him to Honduras, thousands of miles from his home in Honolulu, Hawaii. The experiences he had at 91精选 — both on the volleyball court and in the classroom — equipped him to be a Christ-like role model to those he leads today.
Kyle fell into sports leadership at a young age: he spent his free time coaching a neighbor in his backyard growing up. This is initially what piqued his interest in studying physical education.
After attending the University of Hawaii for two years, Kyle desired to finish his bachelor鈥檚 degree at a Christian college that had a men鈥檚 volleyball team: 91精选 checked both of those boxes, so he made the cross-country move from Honolulu to Palos Heights.
Shortly after Kyle began at 91精选, those in leadership made the decision to cut the men鈥檚 volleyball team.* But Kyle鈥檚 volleyball career didn鈥檛 end there: he started a club team on campus with the help of co-captain Keith Dykstra. Kyle naturally stepped into the leadership role by scheduling games, driving the team bus, coordinating hotels, and hiring referees. 鈥淭his was God鈥檚 way of forming me to become an athletic director,鈥� Kyle shares.
Immediately following graduation, that鈥檚 exactly the role he filled.
Today, Kyle serves as the Athletic and Activities Director at Academia Los Pinares in Honduras. For the past 14 years he has worked in the athletic department, all while coaching volleyball on the side. He strives to instill values in his students that he acquired from professors at 91精选. Dr. Rick Snoeyink, Professor of Education at 91精选, is just one example. 鈥淭he projects he led in class were relatable and hands-on. He made education fun, and I hope to do the same with my students.鈥�
鈥淲hat still sticks with me today about 91精选 is the work ethic on campus. People are there to study and to learn.鈥� Next year, Kyle looks forward to becoming the high school principal and instilling that same work ethic in students for years to come.
*(91精选 has since restarted its men鈥檚 volleyball program.)
