Katie Zimmerman joined the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Volleyball coaching staff as an assistant coach in June 2017.
Zimmerman, a standout performer in indoor volleyball at Wichita State (2012-15) and beach volleyball at South Carolina (2016-17), gained coaching experience working with youth volleyball teams throughout her collegiate career.
“I’ve known Coach Heather for a while and I’m glad I get to coach along side her now,” Zimmerman stated. “I’m so excited to be a Ragin’ Cajun and can’t wait to get in the gym with the team.”
In addition to coaching in team camps at WSU and USC, Zimmerman’s professional experience includes being a sports camp counselor and athletic director for Kids Across America Summer Camps in Branson, Mo.
In her time as a collegiate student-athlete, the Houston area native posted 49 wins on the beach volleyball court at South Carolina, the fifth-most wins in program history, and played 127 matches over four seasons at Wichita State compiling 911 career kills, 533 digs, 242 blocks and 94 aces.
Zimmerman helped lead WSU to the Missouri Valley Conference championship in 2013 and 2015 and three NCAA Tournament appearances. In her final season at USC, she qualified for the USA Volleyball Collegiate Beach Pairs Championship.
A native of Cypress, Texas, and graduate of Concordia Lutheran High School, Zimmerman earned a bachelor’s degree in exercise science from Wichita State in December 2015. She received a master’s degree in the field, with a specialization in rehabilitation sciences, from South Carolina in May 2017.
She is married to Parker Zimmerman of Stillwater, Okla., and is the sister of current Ragin’ Cajuns senior outside hitter Stacey Reilly.
