Kasa has played a key role in the success of the LBCC aquatics program since his arrival and serves as the primary coach for the mens water polo team. He and Oeding have combined to win six state championships overall (Men: 2006, 2007, 2013; Women: 2003, 2004, 2007). Kasa has seven times been named the South Coast Conference mens water polo Coach of the Year (2003, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014) after leading the Vikings to conference titles. He was also named the SCC men's swimming and diving coach of the yer in 2011. Kasa was also an assistant coach for Oeding at Orange Coast College for one season in 1999. He also served as head coach for the boys and girls water polo and swimming teams at Canyon High School for three years (1997-2000). While at Canyon, he was twice named Century League Coach of the Year. His coaching experience also extends to the club level. From 1996-99, Kasa was head coach of the ORCA club team and led the squad to back-to-back national championships in 1998 and 1999. As a player, Kasa earned All-American, All-Southern California, and All-Orange Empire Conference honors in 1994 for Orange Coast. In his freshman season in 1992, Kasa was a member of Golden West Colleges state championship squad. During his prep career at Canyon, Kasa twice earned All-CIF honors and three times was named All-Century League. He was a member of the 1991 U.S. national youth team and in 1988 earned Junior Olympic All-American honors.

Oeding is on sabbatical leave for the 2015-16 academic year as he serves as a member of the coaching staff for the USA Water Polo Women's Senior National Team. His squad will compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil.   ------------------------------------- Former United States Water Polo Olympic Team captain and current USA Water Polo Women's Senior National Team assistant coach Chris Oeding has served as head coach of the Long Beach City College water polo and swimming programs since 2000. It took Oeding and assistant coach David Kasa just a short time to return the LBCC water polo program to its powerhouse status that it was known for in the 1960s. And its no coincidence that the man who coached those dominant teams, Monte Nitzkowski, was one of Oedings coaches while a member of the U.S. National Water Polo team. Over 14 years, Oeding and Kasa have led the Vikings to six state championships. His men's squads have won state titles in 2005, 2006, and 2013 while his women's teams were state champs in 2003, 2004, and 2006.  Last season (2013), he led the men's squad to a 27-2 overall record and closed out the year on an amazing 20-game winning streak. LBCC beat Golden West 11-9 in overtime in the state championship final after winning Southern California and South Coast Conference titles.  In 2006, Oeding completed his most successful season yet at LBCC, leading both the mens and womens squads to state championships. His womens squad finished up 2006 with a 32-4 overall record on their way to the state title, while the men compiled a 30-3 mark to capture the teams second straight state championship. For his standout seasons, Oeding was named California Coach of the Year as well as South Coast Conference all-sports coach of the year. Oeding enters the 2014 season with an impressive 14-year LBCC career record of 342-96-1 (.781 winning percetage) in mens competition and 353-103-0 (.774) in womens action. Oeding has led his mens squad to 11 state final four finishes (2001-06, 2008-11, 2013) and nine womens top-four showings (2002-10). Prior to his arrival at LBCC, Oeding was the mens water polo head coach at Orange Coast College for five seasons and also coached womens water polo and both swim teams. While at OCC, he was twice named Orange Empire Conference Coach of the Year (1998, 1999) and led his team to conference titles in 1997 and 1999. As a player, his standout credentials date back to his prep career. He was a three-time high school All-American while at Corona Del Mar High School and in 1988 was named CIF Player of the Year. From there he went on to play at Cal (Berkeley) where he was a three-time All-American and helped lead the Golden Bears to three straight NCAA championships. In 1992, he was named NCAA Co-Player of the Year. From 1993-2000, Oeding was a member of the U.S. National Water Polo team and was selected team captain in 1997. He competed in two Olympics and helped the U.S. finish seventh at the 1996 Atlanta games and sixth at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. In May of 2013, Oeding was named an assistant coach for Adam Krikorian and the USA Women's Senior National Team.  Oeding received his bachelors degree from Cal in 1994 and earned his masters from Azusa Pacific.
