Chuck DoughertyHead Coach
Charles “Chuck” Dougherty begins his third season leading the Patriots in 2023.
The team had great success in 2022, Dougherty's second season, going 22-3 overall and winning the Inter-Academic Athletic League title. The Patriots finished the season as Pennsylvania Independent Schools Athletic Association runners-up. Four members of the team were named to the All-League team.
In 2021, Dougherty helped pilot GA to a 10-9 overall record, while going 5-3 in Inter-Ac League play. Three members of the team were selected as All-League performers.
Dougherty is active in the local volleyball scene and has been coaching area volleyball players since 2006. In addition to coaching, Dougherty has also found success as an administrator. He founded the TNT Volleyball Club in 2016 and, as president, grew the program to 15 teams and 155 players by 2020. During his time at the helm, Dougherty has helped several student-athletes in the college recruiting process. He also serves as the director for the Saint Luke volleyball program, a position he has enjoyed since 2009. Since that time, he has grown the program from one team to four teams. By 2012, Saint Luke’s was a perennial playoff team and won the Regional 11 Varsity titles in 2014 and 2016.
Dougherty launched the Glenside AAU Volleyball Program in 2006 and led the program until 2016. During those 10 years, he grew the program to 145 players. In 2015, his 13-and-under team won gold and silver medals at AAU tournaments. He also served as the President of the Glenside Youth Athletic Club from 2006-17 where he was responsible for supporting 1,500 youth sports registrations per year and serving as chairman of an 18-member board and five-person executive board.
As a player, Dougherty is a member of the Ambler YMCA Adult League. He played in the AVB Doubles Beach tournaments (A/BB level) from 1993-97 and for the Raritan Valley Volleyball Club (A/BB level player) from 1993-97. Away from volleyball, Dougherty, who graduated from Muhlenberg College with a Bachelor of Arts in Management Information Systems and Business, serves as the Senior Project Program Manager at AmeriGas.(Updated: 6/26/23)

Patriots in College
Girls Volleyball News
It is still early in the fall season, but big-time performances are becoming more important. Germantown Academy had three student-athletes recognized by PhillyBurbs.com as Top Performers after their standout days.
Germantown Academy had three student-athletes recognized by PhillyBurbs.com as Top Performers after their standout days on the field.
While the opponents were different, the results were the same as the Patriots picked up two wins in straight sets. Germantown Academy is currently 3-0 on the season.
If the opening game of the 2023 season was an indicator of how the year will play out for GA, it appears that another fantastic run is ahead as the Patriots took down Shipley School on Sept. 8, 3-0 (25-11, 25-21, 25-9).
Getting back on the volleyball court at the beginning of last week, the Germantown Academy Patriots are looking to defend the Inter-Ac League championship they won in 2022.
