Edison names
Shimp as Head Volleyball Coach
Jessica ‘Shelby’ Shimp makes a return to Edison Community College to
lead the volleyball team in the upcoming 2015 season.
Shimp is no stranger to Edison Community College. Joining Edison’s
Volleyball team as the libero in 2009, Shimp received numerous
accolades during her time at Edison including Best Defensive Player and
Most Valuable Player. Upon graduating from Edison, she continued
intramural volleyball play at Bowling Green State University.
The former Charger understands what is expected of student-athletes.
“As a former Charger myself, I know the level of play and expectations
that Edison holds for its student-athletes. Edison student-athletes are
students first. The expectation is for students to be successful in the
classroom and on the court.”
Shimp’s coaching career began in 2013 when she served as the assistant
volleyball coach at Edison. “I am very excited to be coaching the lady
Chargers this upcoming season! As a former Charger myself, I know what
this program has to offer to its athletes and understand the level of
play and expectations that Edison holds for its student-athletes.”
Shimp understands how important is for students to be successful in the
classroom and on the court. “My first expectation for this season is to
gather a team of young women who are not only strong athletes but
driven students. As a teacher, I value the importance of a good
education and will expect my athletes to excel in their academics at
Edison.”
With recruiting efforts underway, Shimp is looking forward to the
upcoming season. “My goal is for us to be a disciplined team both
offensively and defensively. Consistency wins games. I also want this
to be an enjoyable experience for the girls. Athletics are a great way
for young women to stay healthy, build friendships, and have a good
time. I want them to look back years from now and be fond and proud of
their time at Edison.”
Outside of coaching, Shimp is a high school mathematics teacher at
Mississinawa Valley High School in Union City, Ohio and resides in
Versailles, Ohio.
Joining the team as assistant coach is Julia Haupricht. Haupricht
brings over eight years of volleyball experience to the program. Prior
to becoming the assistant coach at Edison, Haupricht received numerous
accolades during her time spent on the court. Beginning her volleyball
career in 2006, Haupricht was part of a Division II State Champion team
in the high school. Since then, she has competed internationally with
Premier Volleyball Academy; played for Owens Community College where
she holds the record for tenth overall in career kills; and received
numerous accolades while playing for Siena Heights University.
Haupricht currently resides in Piqua.
