St. Bernard High School is welcoming a new head girls' volleyball coach who has more than decade of experience as a pro under his belt.

Sean Fallowfield, who earned All-American honors at the University of California Santa Barbara, spent more than ten years traveling the world as a professional player and garnered more than a dozen international titles, according to Alison Guerrero, assistant to the school principal.

Fallowfield will be an asset to the school's program, according to Principal Cynthia Hoepner.
