JAIME JOHNS
CLUB DIRECTOR
HEAD COACH 16U GOLD

Jaime started Next Gen STL based on her passion to help athletes succeed no matter what their current level of play. She is excited to offer multiple levels so the club has a wide variety of players. This will be her 4th year coaching club but she has coached CYC for multiple years.
Her passion for the sport started when she was young and was not as athletically inclined as others. She worked hard and pushed herself mentally and physically to make it to play collegiate volleyball. She enjoys mentoring young athletes on how to become mentally tough enough to work through adversity and get to their next level.
