JV Camp Director:


Nikki Johnson
Coach Johnson was a star setter at William Byrd High near Roanoke, Virginia (she played against my teams!) and continued her playing career as a setter at Hollins University.   She has coached club volleyball with Roanoke Juniors and years of JV volleyball at Lord Botetourt near Roanoke, Va.  Now she is the head coach at Lord Botetourt, and just finished a 18-6 season, coaching the conference Player Of The Year.    Coach Johnson is a smiling, encouraging person who impresses people each time they see her team play!  I've hoped that she & I could coach a travel volleyball team together, but it just hasn't worked out yet!  You can learn even more about Coach Johnson here.
