Vostok-UNSW is pleased to announce that Abubakarr “Coach Abu” Kamara will take on the role of Head Coach of our Women’s Premier (WP) and Women’s Junior Premier (WJP) teams for 2027.

Abu is already a familiar and valued part of Vostok-UNSW, having coached our Men’s Premier (MP) and Men’s Junior Premier (MJP) teams during the 2026 PLV season.

A former international beach volleyball player, Abu represented Sierra Leone at the 2017 Beach Volleyball World Championship in Vienna and the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia. Since moving into coaching in 2019, he has worked with a range of teams and developing athletes, including UNSW Women’s Reserve and Phoenix U23 Women.

His coaching philosophy is centred on player development, accountability, respect, discipline and excellence — building strong teams while helping athletes grow both on and off the court.

We’re excited to see Abu continue his journey with Vostok-UNSW and lead our WP and WJP programs into 2027.
