Wake Forest head volleyball coach Jeff Hulsmeyer announced the addition of Tina Readling to his coaching staff on Feb. 6, 2025. Holding over 15 years of experience at the collegiate level, Readling joins the Demon Deacons in the position of the Triplette Family Volleyball Assistant Coach.
From 2022-24, Readling spent time at Penn State, serving as Director of Operations for the Nittany Lions volleyball program. Her day-to-day planning, evaluation and relationship-building expertise all played a major part in Penn State going on to capture the 2024 NCAA Championship this past December.
Prior to her time at Penn State, Readling spent 10 seasons on the women’s volleyball staff at Elon University. She was elevated to Associate Head Coach in 2015 after rejoining the Phoenix as an assistant coach in 2012. Elon won 128 matches during that stretch. Readling’s final season in 2021 involved helping lead the team to a program-best 11-5 conference record in the Colonial Athletic Association, ultimately advancing to the championship match of the CAA tournament. Haylie Clark was tabbed the CAA Setter of the Year, joining Leah Daniel and Jenn Krzeminski as a Phoenix trio that earned All-CAA honors. Elon also led the CAA in team hitting percentage (.268) through conference play that same season.
Readling handled numerous responsibilities at Elon, serving six seasons as the recruiting coordinator, seven as the offensive coordinator and all 10 as the serving coach. She helped the Phoenix achieve numerous program firsts – including their first American Volleyball Coaches’ Association (AVCA) All-American, first AVCA All-Region selection, first CAA Player of the Year and first CAA Rookie of the Year. In total, Elon racked up 10 All-CAA postseason honors during Readling’s tenure while earning several CAA and COSIDA District III academic accolades.
Readling's collegiate coaching career began as a volunteer assistant at Elon in 2010, when the Phoenix won the SoCon North Division regular season title. The following year saw her spend a season at Duke, helping the Blue Devils reach the 2011 NCAA Tournament and producing three All-ACC players, in addition to the 2011 ACC Defensive Player of the Year, before she made a return to Elon.
Prior to her first stint with the Phoenix, Readling assisted locally with Carolina Region High Performance and Piedmont Volleyball Club, working with multiple age groups within the club volleyball scene. Additionally, she worked as the assistant volleyball director at the Greensboro Sportsplex, mainly overseeing operations of Sportsplex Volleyball Club and the youth development programs while directing all adult volleyball programming, including Greensboro Grass Volleyball tournaments.
Readling has served in leadership roles for both the AVCA and USA Volleyball. From 2017-22, she was a CAA representative for the AVCA assistant coaches’ committee before becoming a convention presenter and panelist for three years. A member of the Carolina Region Volleyball Association Board for USA Volleyball, Readling was honored with the regional Meritorious Service Award in 2021. She has been a board member since 2010.
A native of Haw River, N.C., Readling graduated from Bryan College in 1999 with a bachelor's degree in English Education. She was named the Female Athlete of the Year at Bryan following her senior season with the volleyball team.
