Bell Shoals Academy Athletics is excited to welcome Nicole Abrahamsen as the Head Coach of our Girls Volleyball Program, as well as a member of our Physical Education and Health Education faculty.
Coach AB brings a wealth of coaching experience across multiple sports, including volleyball, lacrosse, and tennis. A native of Connecticut, she was a four-year All-Conference volleyball player and served as a team captain for two seasons during her high school career.

That experience helped shape her passion for coaching, mentorship, and helping athletes overcome challenges both on and off the court.
Coach AB has coached athletes at various levels of volleyball, and most recently helped build the volleyball program at Morgan High School during its inaugural season, playing an integral role in establishing the foundation and culture of a growing program.
Known for her organization, leadership, and ability to build strong relationships with athletes and families, Coach AB is passionate about developing the whole athlete. She emphasizes high achievement in academics, athletics, and character, while creating a positive, competitive, and Christ-centered team culture.
Coach AB is dedicated to building a program where student-athletes grow in integrity, accountability, and faith. She seeks to help students pursue excellence through discipline and teamwork while using their God-given gifts to serve others and glorify Christ.
Please join us in welcoming Coach AB to the Bell Shoals family!
