Bio
Kopp is a 1996 and 2000 Olympian, and during his career he was
known for his aggressive style of play and tireless work ethic.
While with the National Team, Kopp was party to a 1997 FINA World
Cup gold medal and two Pan American Games gold medals in 1995 and
1999. In his playing days at Long Beach State, Kopp was a
three-time All-American and All-Big West selection, capturing
All-Tournament Team honors at the NCAA Championships in 1988 and
1989. In 1988, Kopp was named the Big West Most Valuable Player
after leading all scorers at the NCAA tournament.
Guy Baker (US National Team Head Coach) and Kyle Kopp are
responsible for the development of P.A.C.E clinics which are geared
towards teaching and educating local coaches, and athletes on the
system that is identified as one of the best in the world.
“I am really excited about the opportunity to teach and coach
at Golden West. Huntington Beach is a great location to help
with development of water polo in and around our surrounding
community,” remarked Kopp.
