Hello!

My name is Coach Filben, and I am excited about Year 4 at Mallinckrodt Academy as the Physical Education/Health teacher!

I am passionate about helping students learn more about all things health and fitness, and I’m thrilled to continue working with such an amazing school community!

This year, I’ll also be coaching our 3rd–5th grade volleyball team in the fall, basketball in the winter (pending confirmation), and soccer in the spring. I believe coaching is a powerful way to teach teamwork, perseverance, and sportsmanship both on and off the field.

Outside of school, I enjoy staying active by running races of all distances, including the mile, 3K, 5K, 4 milers, 5 milers, 10K, and even an occasional half-marathon, just for fun. You might also find me refereeing youth soccer or playing Ultimate Frisbee, Futsal, pickleball, and sand volleyball in local recreational leagues.

Helping your student(s) build a love for lifelong physical activity and learning how to work well with others is my teaching mission.
