Women's Volleyball Indoor Assistant Coach Chris Chown brings a passion for the game of volleyball that has developed over many years of competing and coaching both indoors and on the beach. Since graduating from UCLA, where he played 3 years as a part of the club volleyball team, he has focused his efforts on the beach, achieving a AAA rating in 2011 and again in 2021.

He led the Lady Sea Beggars to the Cal Pac Championship tournament and led them to the Final Four of the NCCAA Championship tournament in 2019. He was named the NCCAA West Region Coach of the Year that same season.  Coach Chown has produced nine NCCAA West All-Region student-athletes, eight Cal Pac All-Conference student-athletes, four NAIA Scholar Athletes, three NCCAA Scholar Athletes, and the only Providence athlete to be named an All American of any type, Abigayl Doiron, in 2019 to the NCCAA All American 2nd Team.
