The Chisago Lakes Volleyball coaching staff is excited to announce the promotion of Nicole Graeve from B-Squad to JV coach. The change comes after Coach Shannon Jensen stepped down from the program after the 2023 season.
”I’m thrilled to have Nicole take on a larger role in our program. She brings a high level of skill and strategy expertise as well as passion for her players that is evident in all she does,” Head Coach Hannah Lindstrom said. “In her 3 years as B-Squad Coach, Nicole has produced tremendous growth in her athletes and created a continuously positive team experience. I have no doubt she will make significant contributions to the JV & Varsity team goals moving forward.”
Graeve (formerly Johnson) has a strong commitment to CLHS and the greater Chisago Lakes community. She’s a 2014 graduate of Chisago Lakes where her primary role was a setter, and she played alongside Head Coach Lindstrom. She was both a player and served as the team president for the club volleyball team during her time at the University of Wisconsin – Oshkosh while she earned an accounting degree. Graeve is now teaching math at New Heights School in Stillwater, MN while completing her Master’s Degree in Teaching through Bethel University.
This staffing change creates an opening at the B-Squad coaching level. Interested applicants should apply here.
