Jazmine Craig joins Bryant Volleyball staff

SMITHFIELD, R.I. -- Bryant University volleyball head coach Theresa Garlacy announced the addition of Jazmine Craig to the coaching staff on Wednesday afternoon. 

Craig joins the Bulldogs as a full-time assistant after spending the past season as an assistant coach at St. Francis Brooklyn. Craig played collegiately at Norfolk State.

"Jazmine will bring enthusiasm and energy to our already fast-paced practice environment," Garlacy said. "She has completed several professional development trainings this year and we are looking forward to utilizing some of the techniques she has learned. Her positive energy and relatability will help to mold our young team."

At St. Francis Brooklyn, Craig served as the assistant coach for the women's and men's volleyball programs. She managed the team budgets and also served as the recruiting coordinator for the Terriers. Craig helped the Terriers produce their best season in over a decade, finishing 14-17 overall and 7-7 in the Northeast Conference. It marked the first season that St. Francis Brooklyn had finished .500 or better in league play for the first time in program history. On the men's side, the Terriers won 10 matches and finished 5-9 in league play. 

Prior to her time in Brooklyn, Craig served as an assistant volleyball coach at Mercy College and was also the head coach at the Metro Volleyball Academy. Craig has also coached with the Outbreak Volleyball Club in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Craig has bolstered her coaching resume by attending the NCAA Women Coaches Academy, the Marine Corps Recruiting Command Coaches Workshop and the Women's Leadership Forum. She'll also be attending the Gold Medal Squared coaches clinic this summer. 

A 2021 graduate of Norfolk State, Craig earned a degree in Psychology while competing as a member of the volleyball program. She appeared in 54 matches and 123 sets during her career, finishing with 104 kills, 21 assists, 119 digs and nine service aces. Craig also earned her Masters in Psychology from St. Francis College.
