Brenner is the New Leader of the Cougars Volleyball Program

Alexandra Brenner has been named the new varsity volleyball coach for the 2025-26 season.
Campbellsport is coming off a 15-14 season, finishing in second place in the Flyway Conference, with all-conference players Ellie Smith, Emma Muraski, and Shea Willacker returning for the Cougars.
”This will be my sixth year coaching. I started by coaching JV1 at New Holstein High School for three seasons, then Campbellsport, where I coached JV2 for one year, followed by JV1 last season,” said new volleyball coach Alexandra Brenner. “Volleyball has always been a large part of my identity. The sport is a passion I love passing on to my players.”
“I’m currently in my fourth year teaching at Campbellsport, and after serving as the JV1 coach last season, stepping into the varsity role felt like a natural next step,” said Brenner. “This position allows me to lead a group of athletes I already care about and to continue growing a program I’ve been invested in.”

“Campbellsport is an incredibly supportive and close-knit community, and being part of the school as a teacher has given me a deep appreciation for the values here: hard work, kindness, and community involvement,” said Brenner. “It’s a great place to coach because people genuinely care about our students and their growth, both in the classroom and on the court.”
“I think we’re in a really promising place. There’s a lot of talent in our program and a willingness to work hard,” said Brenner. “Last year, we started building a strong culture of teamwork, accountability, and positivity. I’m excited to continue that momentum and help our athletes take the next step competitively and personally.”
“I see so much potential in the youth and middle school programs, and they’re critical to the long-term success of our high school teams,” said Brenner. “I’m looking forward to collaborating more with those levels, helping create a clear progression for skill development, and getting young players excited about the game from the start.”
“The Flyway Conference has always meant something to me because I played in it as a high school athlete,” said Brenner. “It’s been fun to see the conference grow and evolve over the years, and I’m constantly impressed by the level of talent across the teams. It’s a competitive environment that pushes us to keep raising the bar.”
“I believe two of the most important roles of a coach are to lead with honesty and positivity,” said Brenner. “I’m a firm believer that honesty is the best policy because it builds trust and sets clear expectations.”
“I also want my players to act with grace, both towards others and themselves,” said Brenner. “As a coach, I know I need to model that. I want to show young women how to compete with heart, lift each other up, and live with integrity, no matter the outcome.”
“My initial goal is to continue the work we started last year by building a positive environment and cultivating a goal-oriented mindset among our athletes,” said Brenner. “Long-term, I’d like to establish a program that competes consistently in the Flyway Conference, supports players at every level of development, and becomes something that younger athletes look forward to being part of.”
