Head Coach - Ivan Buich

Coach Buich is in his 2nd year as the head boys and girls water polo coach of the Stallions. His expertise has made an immediate impact as he guided the boys team to the CIF Division 3 Championship in 2016.

Coach Buich was exposed to the game of water polo at a young age. His family is originally from Croatia where water polo is the national sport. He played water polo in high school in Marin County and continued his playing career at Golden West College where he helped lead the team to a conference championship in 2006. After a couple of years of playing professionally overseas, he returned to the United States and began his coaching career.

Most recently, he has served as an assistant for both the boys and the girls water polo programs at Santa Margarita Catholic High School. During his tenure there, he was part of a back-to-back CIF Championship girls program and a boys program that was consistently ranked in the top 10 in CIF.

In a short period of time he has coached a number of former and current Division 1 college athletes and has gained experience with athletes of all ages. He is on staff at the Orange County Water Polo Club and serves as the head coach of the 16U Boys team.
