Coaching Staff

I have coached volleyball for 16 years and have been playing even longer. This is my first-year coaching with HVVC. I love the game of volleyball and having the opportunity to give back to the next generation. I am married to the love of my life and together we have two beautiful children, who keep us very busy. Can’t wait for this season!

I have coached High Voltage JO seasons since 2020 and Northern Lights back in 2008.  I have also been the Assistant coach at the Varsity level at Mayer Lutheran since 2020.

As a player, my greatest experience was making it to the NCAA DII tournament my senior year. As a coach, my favorite memory was winning the Minnesota Class A state Title in 2021. I’ll never forget those moments!

I started playing volleyball when I was 10 for High Voltage where I continued to play until I was 18. I graduated from Mayer Lutheran in 2020 where I played volleyball for Coach Grimsley. My favorite volleyball memories are playing in the MN State Tournament and growing up playing in the backyard with my sister and all my girl cousins. In my free time I love watching MN sports, college volleyball, traveling, and pursuing a career as a PA.

I graduated from MLHS in 2020. I played volleyball there all four years, and after high school I went on to play college volleyball at the Division 1 level at the University of Northern Iowa. I was a middle/right side there, and I just finished up my 5th and final season. I have applied for Physical Therapy grad school and am currently waiting to see where I will attend next Fall. I absolutely love volleyball and have been playing almost my entire life. I played at High Voltage for many years and loved every single one of them! This will be my first year as a coach, and I am super excited to get after it!

Hi, my name is Sydney Studer, I am currently a senior attending Mayer Lutheran High School. I have played volleyball since 4th grade and have been involved with High Voltage for over 6 years! I coached basketball last year for the 7/8th grade team at Zion Mayer and got into coaching volleyball for fall league with a High Voltage’s 14’s team. As a coach, I will encourage all players to have a positive attitude on and off the court because, to me, attitude is everything. Outside of coaching, I enjoy working at Winchester & Rye, spending time with my friends, and going on mission trips.

I have coached JO at many different places over the past 30 years, including starting and coaching my own club in high school. I have coached JV at a few different schools in the area and have been the JV coach at Mayer Lutheran for the last 12 years. I have two daughters that played for High Voltage and three children that attended Mayer Lutheran. The Christian atmosphere at Mayer Lutheran and High Voltage and the values of the school, club, families and coaches are very important to our family and different from the larger clubs. My favorite part of coaching is building relationships with the players and seeing them grow every practice not only in skill, but also faith, team chemistry, work ethic and confidence all while having fun playing a game we love.

Coached 6 seasons with MN Select (14’s-18’s).

I coached Varsity Volleyball for 11 seasons – 8 seasons for Watertown-Mayer (1997-2004) and 3 seasons for Orono High School (2014-2016).  I also started and ran the WAVE volleyball club out of Watertown for 7 years.  I have coached at all levels from Kindergarten to Varsity and have coached many players who have advanced on to play collegiate volleyball.

I live in Watertown, MN with her husband Chris. We have 2 daughters who are currently playing collegiate volleyball Paige @ Auburn and Kate @ Oregon and a son who lives in Fargo, ND.

When I’m not coaching, I enjoy watching the MN Vikings 🙂

After a little bit of a hiatus…I’m back and I’m so excited! I played volleyball for my school and/or with JOs fourth grade to my senior year of college! Sadly being an ER and neuroscience ICU nurse didn’t leave me much time for fun! Now that I’m old and no longer working in the hospital, I have time to coach volleyball, play with my dog, Bandit and spend time with my boyfriend, Will.

Hello my name is Megan and this is my very first year coaching. I grew up in Alexandria MN and moved down to the cities about 8 years ago once I graduated from college. I first started playing volleyball in 6th grade and played until 10th grade. Some of my hobbies include being on the lake with friends and family, cooking, and going to concerts.

I am a junior captain on the Crown College volleyball team as an outside hitter. This is my third-year coaching at High Voltage, but it’s my fourth year coaching in general. I am from Menifee, California, so I love the beach. I played beach volleyball before coming here and try to play it as much as I can whenever I go back home.

This is my 2nd year coaching for High Voltage, but I’ve been playing volleyball for over ten years. I just finished my senior season on the Crown College volleyball team and couldn’t be more thrilled about club season starting soon. Aside from playing volleyball, here are a few fun things about me:

I love reading, I am a huge coffee drinker (or anything with caffeine, ie bubblr/Celsius), and I LOVE animals. I can’t wait to get to know my players and watch them play and grow throughout the season!

I went to Mayer Lutheran and played in the State Tournament!  I played NAIA D1 at William Penn.  I am now in my 2^nd year of coaching at High Voltage.  I love playing and watching sports.  I also enjoy reading and spending time on the lake.

This is my second year coaching a 13-1s team with the High Voltage volleyball program and my seventh year coaching a club team. I have coached everything from a youth development team to an 18-1s team. For my full-time job, I am in my first year as the Head Coach at Crown College in Saint Bonifacius, working to continue to build the volleyball program there! I am originally from Cold Spring, MN and I attended Bethel University for my undergrad, and I am one class away from graduating from Crown with my Masters of Sports Coaching and Administration. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my friends and family and doing anything outdoors.

I am in my 5th year coaching for High Voltage. I also coached at Crown College. Played basketball at St. Ben’s. We live in Waconia with my husband, Mike, and three kids. I enjoy playing volleyball, basketball, golfing and traveling.
