Coach’s Corner Hello All, I hope this letter finds you all well, and where ever you are enjoying a nice summer. I’m writing this newsletter to introduce myself and to get friends of the program reconnected to Hamilton Volleyball. My name is Erin Reding and I am the new head volleyball coach here at Hamilton College. I am very excited to be here, and as I’m sure all of you can attest from your experience here it is a very special place to be. Before Hamilton I was the assistant coach at Connecticut College for two years and before that I was a player at Wesleyan University. I have been a part of NESCAC for a long time now, and am very happy to remain competing in such a competitive conference. I look forward to keeping in contact with you all, and sending out a newsletter periodically to update you on how the program is doing. If you want to check on us more frequently you can try our website at If you are ever in the area and want to stop by it is always great to hear from past players and family.
