Ashley Johnson

From the moment Ashley, affectionately known as Coach AJ, first stepped onto the volleyball court at the age of 12, a lifelong passion was ignited. Her journey began at George Jenkins High School in Lakeland, FL, where she honed her skills and developed a deep love for the game. This passion carried her to the University of South Florida in Tampa, FL, where she played on the club team, further fueling her dedication to volleyball.

After graduating, the call of the game was too strong to resist, leading her to embrace a new role as a coach. Coach AJ has since become a guiding light for aspiring athletes, coaching numerous club teams, and leading high school programs across Pasco, Seminole, and Volusia counties. Her commitment to nurturing student-athletes is unwavering, as she inspires them to reach their full potential and instills in them the same love for volleyball that has driven her journey.

When she's not on the court, Coach AJ cherishes time with her family and daughter, and she finds joy in exploring new destinations. Her story is a testament to the power of passion and dedication, inspiring all who have the privilege of learning from her.
