Chris Weathers enters his second season as an assistant coach with the Binghamton volleyball program in 2026.

In his first season at Binghamton in 2025, Weathers helped the Bearcats reach the America East Volleyball Championship for the fourth year in a row, while helping mentor two First Team All-America East selections (Viktoria Dimitrova and Merima Smajlovic) and two All-Rookie Team selections (Maya Coblentz-Brown and Francesca Pierdonati).

Weathers previously worked as an assistant coach at Seton Hall under current Binghamton Head Volleyball Coach Allie Yaeger from 2018-22. His coaching journey began as an undergraduate at Seton Hall, where he acted as the Pirates volunteer manager from 2010-13.

After his graduation from Seton Hall, Weathers served as a graduate assistant coach at Elmira and Southwestern, assisting with daily operations, practice implementation and recruiting.

Weathers returned to the Pirates program as an assistant coach in 2018, focusing primarily on defense. During his time in South Orange, Weathers guided six-rotation outside hitters Abby Thelen and Tsvetelina Ilieva to All-Big East First Team distinctions in 2018 and 2020, respectively. 

Weathers worked as a Human Resources Coordinator, Building Superintendent and Office Manager in New Jersey during his brief break from coaching. 

With the addition of Weathers, Binghamton strengthens its coaching staff in pursuit of an America East Championship. His defensive expertise and familiarity with Yaeger's coaching philosophy are expected to have an undeniable impact on the team's performance in the upcoming season. 

A native of Brockton, Mass., Weathers graduated from Seton Hall in 2013 with a Bachelor’s in Social and Behavioral Science. He also received a Master of Business Administration from Southwestern in 2016.
