Danielle Robinson is the Head Volleyball Coach at Allen University
Danielle Robinson is entering her fourth season leading Allen's volleyball program. Since being hired ahead of the 2021 season, Robinson has led the Yellow Jackets to win total improvements each of the past three seasons.
During the 2023 season, Allen recorded their most wins in the program's NCAA era with 14 victories, including seven against SIAC opponents. The 14 wins during the 2023 campaign was also the most the program has tallied since 2017. In recognition of their efforts, libero Myra Lopez and outside hitter Maliyah Spencer were each named to the All-SIAC First and Second teams, respectively, with Lopez also being named SIAC Libero of the Year.
In her inagural year at Allen, Robinson led the Yellow Jackets to their best winning percentage since 2018.
"Coach Robinson brings a level of excitement and a wealth of knowledge to our volleyball program," said former Director of Athletics Jasher Cox. "She is a fierce competitor that cares about young ladies, and I look forward to witnessing the success she will bring to Allen volleyball."
A native of West Columbia, S.C., Robinson was a standout volleyball player at Claflin University from 2012-2016. During her playing career in Orangeburg, S.C., Robinson helped capture the Claflin's first-ever Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) championship and the school's first automatic berth into the NCAA Division II Volleyball Championships.
Prior to her arrival at Allen, Robinson served as the head varsity coach at Columbia High School (SC), leading the team to their first playoff appearance in four years. Additionally, Robinson served as the head junior varsity coach at Blythewood High School (SC) in 2016 and led the team to the 5A regional championship, while simultaneously serving as a varsity assistant coach on a squad that claimed the varsity 5A regional championship and a state semifinal appearance.
Robinson earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Accounting from Claflin in 2016, before going on to earn a Master of Accountancy degree in 2018 from Strayer University. She is a member of USA Volleyball and the American Volleyball Coaches Association (AVCA).
