Stephanie Cooper

Stephanie was raised in Missouri where she was no stranger to the sports world lettering in soccer, basketball and volleyball. In 2009, she made the move to Texas and chose to solely focus her attention on volleyball by joining ACE Volleyball Club (2009-2010). During her time at Arlington Seguin High School, she was named team captain, 1st Team All Region and led my team with an average of 12 assists per set both her junior and senior year. After high school, I spent my first year at Paris Junior College where I was named Newcomer of the Year for Region XIV. Stephanie helped lead her team to a 32-6 record, was Team Captain, named First Team All Conference, 3 time tournament MVP and made the All Tournament Team twice. Due to the success she had at Paris Junior College she was noticed by a college scout and in 2012 accepted a full ride scholarship to set at the University of Arkansas Fort Smith where she continued her volleyball career. During her time at Fort Smith, her team made deep National Title runs making it to the ELITE 8 and the FINAL 4. Over those years, Stephanie earned various awards and achievements including Setter of the Year back to back with the help of her amazing team and wonderful coach. In 2017, Stephanie received her bachelor’s degree Business Management, and is now teaching elementary school, coaching club volleyball and raising two amazing little boys. Stephanie began her coaching career in 2011 with Fort Smith Juniors Volleyball Club where she she coached the top 14s and 15s for 3 seasons. During her time at FSJ, she specialized with setting and gave private lessons to girls and boys from the ages 10 to 18. In the summer of 2014, she moved back to Texas and started assisting with camps and clinics at ACE Volleyball Club. She then had the opportunity to stay there and coach the 15s team and continue to give private setting lessons. This year, she will be in her 10th season coaching at No Limits VBC and will continue to share my love and knowledge for this game everyday.
