Tyler Wills 
Girls Director

Tyler Wills is the Girl's Director At Madtown Juniors. Before coming to Madtown, Tyler has had experience both in coaching and playing volleyball at a collegiate level.

​

Tyler was the second head coach in Marian men's volleyball program history.

​

Wills came to Marian after spending the two seasons as an assistant coach for women's volleyball at Transylvania. The Pioneers went 43-16 over  two seasons including a Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference championship this past season after going 28-5 with a perfect 8-0 mark in conference play. This earned Transylvania a trip to the NCAA tournament for the first time in program history where the Pioneers were eliminated by eventual national runner-up Emory.  Transylvania closed out the final national poll ranked 19th in the nation.

​

Wills also spent two seasons as a volunteer assistant coach at the University of Louisville prior to Buena Vista. While at Louisville, Wills was part of a coaching staff that led the Cardinals to a 2015 Atlantic Coast Conference championship. During his first season at Louisville, the Cardinals went 24-7, advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. He also spent time coaching U-17 teams for the Kentucky Indiana Volleyball Association during his time in Kentucky. Under Wills, those teams placed third and second, respectively at the AAU National Tournament in 2016 and 2017. 

​

His playing career saw him compete at NAIA member Clarke University where he was a standout all four years of his career. Wills was a four-time AVCA All-American, a four-time all-conference first-team selection, and a two-time conference player of the year. In 2014, Wills led Clarke to a third-place finish at the NAIA National Tournament. Wills was inducted into the Clarke Athletics Hall of Fame in 2022.

​

Wills is a native to Dubuque, Iowa and earned a bachelor of arts in business finance with minors in accounting and sport management while at Clarke.
