Jason Gall was hired in 2004 as Brown's head coach for men's and women's water polo. In his short tenure, he has already brought about great improvement in both squads.
In 2005, the men's water polo team finished second in the Northern Division and fifth at the Eastern Championships, ending the season ranked 19th in the country. No Brown squad had achieved such success in 10 years. His women's teams have also done well at both events, finishing no lower than third at Northerns and sixth at Easterns. His teams also achieve great success in the classroom -- both the men's and women's squads have ranked among the top four varsity water polo teams in GPA each of his first two seasons.
Gall brings an outstanding record of accomplishment to the Brown Water Polo programs. He was named Head Coach of the Pomona-Pitzer Women's Water Team in 1998 and Head Coach of the Men's Team in 2002. In 2004, he guided the women's team to the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) title and finished second in the nation at the NCAA Division III championships. In 2003, Pomona-Pitzer won the women's NCAA Division III championship and Coach Gall was named Division III Coach of the Year. Gall's six year conference record with the Pomona-Pitzer women's team was 46-25.
Gall has spent more than 10 years coaching club water polo with some of the top club teams in Southern California, including CHAWP and ORCA. He has coached and medaled in many National Championship events including the Junior Olympics and National Age Group Championships.
Gall also served as the head coach for the Inland Empire Women's Youth Zone Team in 2003 and 2004 as part of the Women's National Team staff. His duties included developing the players into future Olympians, as the team attends the National Selection Camp each year.
Coach Gall graduated from the University of Southern California in 1997 and earned his Master's Degree from Azusa Pacific University in 2001. His collegiate water polo experience includes being named a first team All-American at Long Beach City College in 1993 and later, playing on the USC team that finished second in the nation in 1996.
