Kristen Christensen brings energy, heart, and a passion for helping athletes grow both on and off the court. I want my players to build a solid foundation of skills, develop sportsmanship, and grow their love for the game. Her coaching emphasizes effort, teamwork, and a positive mindset, with a focus on creating a strong, supportive team culture where athletes can thrive and believe in themselves.

Krisen’s journey into coaching began when her oldest daughter became interested in volleyball. I quickly realized coaching was a different skill set than playing, and I threw myself into learning everything I could. Her love for the sport and competition grew, leading her to help both her daughter and herself move to more competitive levels of play and coaching.

Prior to joining 1United, Krisen coached Arete 11.3 and 12.4 teams, including positional training, skills camps, and academy programs for younger players, as well as multiple years of rec teams and skills sessions at PSA. My goal as a coach is to help athletes develop confidence, resilience, and a deep love for the game, celebrating successes and learning from every challenge. This is her first year coaching with 1United, and she is excited to help athletes grow and achieve their potential.
