Biography
High Point University volleyball Head Coach Ryan Meek announced the hiring of Assistant Coach Shelby Cooper in May of 2025. Cooper joined the Panthers coaching staff after spending a season as an assistant coach with Division II Carson-Newman University, coaching the indoor and beach volleyball programs. During her first season with the Panthers, High Point three-peated as the Big South Regular Season and Tournament Champions to earn an automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament and played the University of Kansas in the First Round. The Panthers finished with an 18-10 overall record and a 12-12 record in league play after finishing the regular season on a six game win streak. Cooper began her time at Carson-Newman as a graduate assistant for both programs before transitioning into an assistant role. Cooper played at William Peace University, a Division III program in Raleigh, N.C., where she graduated in 2023 after seeing action in 104 matches.

Her rapid progression from graduate assistant to full assistant to D1 recruiting coordinator suggests she's ambitious, adaptable, and focused on continuous improvement both for herself and her players.
