Coach DiConti began his coaching career in the early 1990s at a small private Lutheran school before moving on to Hillside Junior High (now Hillside Middle School). During his time there, he led the team to a remarkable 23-2 record, winning a the title of League Champs and earning recognition in the Simi Valley Enterprise.
