Melanie Colbert is excited to be joining the volleyball program at Centennial High School for the upcoming season. She brings about six years of playing experience as a libero/defensive specialist (DS) before transitioning into coaching, where she discovered her passion for developing athletes and helping teams grow. She began her coaching journey in the fall of 2017 and has since worked with middle school feeder programs, competitive club teams at A5 Volleyball Club, and spent three seasons coaching varsity athletes at North Gwinnett High School.

Melanie has also coached multiple clinics and camp series at A5 Volleyball Club and, in many ways, considers the facility a second home. Over the years, she has coached multiple teams that have qualified for USAV Nationals, one of the most prestigious tournaments in club volleyball, as well as teams that have medaled and won multiple qualifiers. She has also helped lead high school programs to Elite Eight and Final Four appearances in the GHSA state tournament. She is excited to continue developing the next generation of athletes and helping them accomplish any goals they set out to achieve.
