Audrey Volpatti

Audrey began her collegiate career at Point University, where she played as a setter and served as team captain, graduating in just three years with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in Biblical Studies. She went on to earn a Master of Organizational Leadership from Columbia International University (CIU), where she also played her final season of eligibility.

Following her playing career, Audrey joined the coaching staff at CIU, where she played a key role in training athletes who went on to earn: AAC Player of the Year, Freshman of the Year, NCCAA National Player of the Year, Regional Player of the Year, and several NAIA First Team All-American honors.

When the CIU head coach accepted the same position at the University of North Carolina at Asheville, Audrey joined her as an assistant coach. While at UNC Asheville, she oversaw defensive systems, mentored setters, and helped run day-to-day operations for the program. Her coaching style blends analytical strategy with athlete empowerment, focusing on technique, decision-making, and building confidence.

In 2023, Audrey expanded her reach by serving as an assistant coach for the USAV Deaf Women’s National Team, helping lead the team through both domestic and international competitions during the Deaflympic cycle.

Audrey’s club coaching experience includes time with Stars Volleyball and other Charleston-based clubs. Off the court, she’s committed to giving back to the community through volunteer work with Darkness to Light and Seacoast Church, where she partners with individuals with special needs through the Won to One program.

With her wide range of coaching experience, servant leadership approach, and focused training, Audrey is a valuable asset to the SC Elite staff and a mentor to every athlete she coaches.
