Coach
Jen Johnson
Hi Everyone! My name is Jen and I'm originally from Neenah, Wisconsin. I grew up in a family of competitive volleyball players, so this sport has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. In high school, I was fortunate to earn First Team All-Conference Libero and continued on in my career to play in college at the College of Coastal Georgia. In my time at Coastal Georgia, we earned our way to three Conference Championships and a spot to compete in the National Tournament. Academics was just as important to me in my volleyball career and I earned a spot on the Scholar-Athlete team each year. My goal for our team is to cultivate a passion and love for volleyball by putting in hard work, displaying effort and humility as we learn and having fun while we're at it! We will grow as both people and athletes when we show up for ourselves and our teammates with grace and encouragement. This will be an incredible year and I'm excited to meet you all soon!
