About

Jeanette Regier is returning for her twelfth season at the helm of the Calvary Bible College Lady Warriors. She has most of her players returning from the 2007 season that saw the Warriors finish in 3rd place in the Midwest Christian College Conference.

Regier is coaching in her sixteenth season. Prior to working at Calvary she was on the coaching staff at Berean Academy in Newton, Kansas. During her four years at Berean she served as head women's volleyball coach, assistant basketball coach, and assistant track coach.

The Newton Kansas native graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Physical Education from Emporia State University in 1991. Regier relocated to Belton in 1996 and finished her Master's Degree in Physical Education in May of 2002.

Regier hopes to instill enthusiasm into her program. Her goal for the season is to develop mentally tenacious players and teach them to play aggressively. She has a strong desire to see her players demonstrate consistent Christian character both on and off the court, realizing that what they become after volleyball is more important than what they become during volleyball.
