Jamie Tinglestad, Assistant Varsity Coach and Volleyball Advisor
Hello and welcome to Wolverine Volleyball! My name is Jamie Tingelstad and this is my third year being the Program Director at Bellevue High School. Volleyball has been a lifelong passion of mine. I have been playing competitively since middle school, refereed, and have been coaching in Bellevue School District for nine years. While I was a multi-sport athlete, volleyball has been the one sport that has played a more permanent role in my life and I am excited to be able to share it with students at BHS!
In addition to coaching volleyball, you might see my in the halls of BHS as a special education teacher. When I’m not being called Mrs. Tingelstad or Coach T, I go by Mom to my one-year old son, Easton. We enjoy spending time outside as a family with our dogs, Mac and Jax! I love Seahawk games, sleeping in on the weekends (as much as I can these days), and going on long runs.
Joe Tassia, JV Coach
This will be Joe's sixth season overall coaching volleyball however he has been around volleyball all his life. He is Director of Instruction and Director of Staff for the NW Beach Volleyball club program. He currently coaches at Bellevue High School and has worked hard to become as strong a coach for the indoor game as he is for the outdoor game. His roots may be on the beach, but his overall knowledge of the game, his experience, and his passion for teaching give him the tools to be successful in all disciplines.
Who are we, if not measured by our impact on others? That’s who we are! We’re not who we say we are, we’re not who we want to be – we are the sum of the influence and impact that we have, in our lives, on others. - Carl Sagan
Devon Condie, JVC Coach
Hello, I am Devon Condie. The 2023 volleyball season will be my 6th year with direct involvement with Bellevue Wolverines Volleyball. The first four years were as a student athlete and the last two as a coach. For the 2022 season, I was the assistant C-Team coach and this year I am honored to be the C-Team coach. Between my high school play and coaching days, I played one year of college volleyball at Dominican University of California. I started out playing CYO basketball and volleyball in elementary and middle school. With high school volleyball seasons, I also played four years of club volleyball.
I am looking forward to teaching and coaching the game I have enjoyed so much and inspiring future leaders of Bellevue volleyball.
