Veteran Player Turns Coach: Hana Roberts Joins FSCJ Volleyball
After a standout four-year career at Boone High School followed by two years of collegiate competition at Florida State College at Jacksonville (FSCJ), Hana Roberts is excited to begin her first season as an assistant coach for the FSCJ women's indoor and beach volleyball program. Known for her high energy, leadership, and strong volleyball IQ, Roberts brings eight years of competitive playing experience alongside a growing coaching résumé focused on club and developmental programs.
As a player, Roberts was a dynamic libero and defensive specialist, anchoring the back row with exceptional serve-receive skills and court awareness. During her time at Boone High School, she was a four-year varsity letterwinner and a key contributor in leading the Braves to multiple district playoff appearances. At FSCJ, she competed in both indoor and beach volleyball, where her dedication to serve-receive, defensive coverage, and team leadership proved invaluable. Her resilience and work ethic became foundational elements of the team culture and her own personal development throughout her collegiate career.
Roberts began her coaching journey as an assistant coach for a 14U girls' club team in Jacksonville, Florida, quickly earning a reputation for her hands-on teaching style, player-first philosophy, and ability to nurture young athletes' fundamental skills. Her passion for coaching extends beyond the court, as she actively mentors athletes in balancing academics, athletics, and character development.
Off the court, Roberts is pursuing a degree in Exercise Science, aiming to integrate her passion for movement, athletic performance, and coaching into a long-term career in sports.
Originally from Orlando, Florida, Roberts grew up in a volleyball family and developed a deep love for the game from an early age. In her free time, she enjoys weight training, outdoor activities, and contributing to youth sports programs.
Hana Roberts shares her excitement about joining the coaching staff:
"I'm incredibly excited and honored to return to FSCJ—not just as an alum, but now as a coach—to give back to the program that played such a huge role in shaping me as both a player and a person. This opportunity means the world to me, and I'm looking forward to pouring into our athletes the same way my coaches poured into me. I can't wait to support them in their development both on and off the court, and to help foster a competitive, driven, and growth-oriented environment where they feel challenged, encouraged, and empowered.
What excites me most is being part of each player's journey—watching them evolve, pushing through tough moments, and coming out stronger. I know firsthand how powerful a strong team culture can be, and I'm fully committed to helping build one that's rooted in trust, accountability, and love for the game. Stepping back into this gym, but now in a different role, is truly full-circle, and I'm ready to give everything I have to this program and its future."
Coach Hinck welcomes Hana to the coaching staff:
Hana Roberts is an outstanding addition to our coaching staff. Her passion for volleyball and unwavering commitment to player development perfectly embody the values we cherish at FSCJ. As a former standout player here, Hana possesses a deep understanding of our program's culture and expectations, offering a unique perspective as both an accomplished athlete and a new dedicated coach.
Her energy, expertise, and genuine ability to connect with players will be instrumental as we continue to build a competitive and resilient team. A natural leader, Hana is passionate about helping our players grow—not only as volleyball athletes but as confident, driven individuals. She is an ideal fit for FSCJ, and I am confident that Hana will elevate our program by fostering an environment that challenges our athletes to push beyond their limits, while also supporting their holistic personal and athletic development. Her dedication to giving back and leading with empathy will undoubtedly inspire our players to reach new heights both on and off the court!
