Josh Kreiner was named the head coach of the Lindsey Wilson volleyball program on March 6, 2025.
Kreiner spent the last five seasons as the head coach at Northwestern Ohio, taking the Racers from four wins in his first season to 18 in 2024. He has recruited and coached five All Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference performers, including the first Racer to earn All WHAC First Team honors this past season.
Before UNOH, Kreiner spent two seasons as an assistant coach at Huntington (Ind.).
First, I want to thank President Bill Luckey, Vice President Dean Adams,
Willis Pooler, and Chris Wells for this amazing opportunity," Kreiner said. "As a coach, Lindsey Wilson offers exactly what you want in a school -- an amazing sense of community, top academic programs, and unwavering support for their student-athletes.
"I'm eager to get started working with our current student-athletes and our incoming recruits to help build a successful culture that produces on the court, in the classroom, and within our community," Kreiner said. "I also have great confidence that we can attract top volleyball student-athletes to Lindsey Wilson and contribute to the continued success of the Blue Raider volleyball program while exposing them to our mission."
In addition to his collegiate coaching, Kreiner has extensive experience in club volleyball, where he served as Director of Player Development at Empowered Volleyball Academy. He has coached teams to a USA Volleyball national title and two national runner-up finishes.
As a student-athlete, Kreiner played on Adrian's (Mich.) inaugural men's volleyball team. He was named to the Great Lakes Men's Volleyball Conference All-Freshmen Team as a libero. Kreiner helped guide the Bulldogs to a fourth-place finish at the National Collegiate Volleyball Federation National Tournament.
