Biography

UCLA Head Coach Adam Wright has hired former Long Beach State goalkeeper Matt Kubeck to the post of assistant coach on July 3, 2024. He will be in his second season during the 2025 campaign. Kubeck, who replaced Max Berg, played four seasons for the Beach from 2008-11 and was a four-time All-CIF and All-Ocean League at El Segundo High School. He just completed his first season in the spring of 2024 as an assistant coach for the LMU Women’s Water Polo team after serving for two seasons (2022-23) as an assistant coach for the Stanford Men’s Water Polo team. While with the Cardinal, he served as the goalies coach as well as handled video and analytics for the program. “Matt comes to UCLA with a wealth of experience, not only from playing in college, but from coaching at one of the top high schools in the country as well as at Stanford,” Wright said. “Being at the forefront of analytics, he will fit in perfectly to what we are doing here at UCLA. He has also been on the staff with the USA National Teams, which will put our program in a great position from a recruiting standpoint - not only in seeing the top domestic players but the international players as well. Matt was a goalkeeper throughout his career and has worked with goalies at the high school, collegiate, and national team levels, and that will be an area of support that he will bring to help our student-athletes get better.” Prior to coaching at Stanford, Kubeck was an assistant coach at Harvard-Westlake School from 201
