Coach Nicole is excited to be the assistant coach for 16 Maroon this 2025–2026 season! Last year, she served as the head coach for 16 Black, and this past fall she led a very successful 7th grade team at Solon Middle School. Coaching has become one of her greatest passions, and she loves helping players grow in both skill and confidence. Coach Nicole played as a setter at AVC for seven years and has been part of the program since she was 11 years old, she hasn’t spent a single year out of the AVC gym! She has also been coaching at AVC camps for the past five years, working with athletes ages 6–18. Her coaching philosophy centers on building a positive team culture and developing confident, adaptable athletes who love the game and support one another. Outside of volleyball, Coach Nicole is in her third and final year at John Carroll University, majoring in Psychology with minors in Sociology and Criminology. She plans to pursue a master’s degree in social work and become a licensed clinical social worker. Coach Nicole is thrilled to continue her AVC journey and can’t wait for another amazing season with 16 Maroon!
