Kaitlyn Scroggins is entering her second year as Head Volleyball Coach in the 2026 season and has quickly established herself as one of the rising young coaches in collegiate volleyball.

In her first season leading the VSU program, she guided the team to a 14–12 overall record, a 12–4 conference record, and the CIAA Northern Division Regular Season Championship. Under her leadership, multiple student-athletes earned conference honors, including the CIAA Defensive Player of the Year, All-Rookie Team selections, Second Team All-Conference honors, and multiple CIAA All-Tournament Team recognitions. Several players also ranked among conference leaders in hitting percentage, assists, digs, blocks, and scoring.

Known for her ability to connect with athletes and develop complete players, Scroggins specializes in training liberos, defensive specialists, and pin attackers at both the collegiate and club levels. Her coaching focuses on technical skill development, game IQ, confidence building, and creating disciplined, high-energy competitors.

Prior to Virginia State, Scroggins served as an assistant coach at Florida A&M University, where she helped the program win the SWAC Championship and earn an NCAA Tournament appearance against No. 1 seed Nebraska. She also coached at Prostyle Volleyball Academy and Houston Juniors Volleyball Club, providing private instruction and team development for athletes across multiple age groups.

As a former Division I student-athlete at Texas Southern University and Florida A&M University, Scroggins brings firsthand experience competing at the highest collegiate levels. Her background as a libero and team captain shapes her defensive expertise and leadership-centered coaching philosophy.

Coach Scroggins is passionate about helping athletes grow both on and off the court by building confidence, accountability, discipline, and a championship mindset. Her training environment emphasizes high standards, positive energy, and intentional skill development designed to prepare athletes for the next level.
