I began playing club volleyball at age 12 and continued through high school, junior college, and then Division III at Beloit College. I have also served as the Head Coach for West Bend Girls Lacrosse for the past two years, which has provided me with valuable experience in leadership and team management. In addition, I currently coach a 7th/8th grade volleyball team for the Kewaskum Athletic Association.

With my playing experience, I bring a strong knowledge of volleyball technique, and my teaching background allows me to effectively manage and connect with athletes.

Nikki has been playing volleyball since 5th grade, from four years of varsity volleyball at Germantown High School to playing at UW–Oshkosh. Volleyball has given her so much growing up—great teammates, lifelong friendships, confidence, and lessons that go far beyond the court.

My name is Abbi Sitte, and I’m excited to be joining Wisconsin Elite as a coach this season! I was born and raised in Door County, Wisconsin, where my love for sports began at a young age. I was a four-year varsity setter and also had the opportunity to play libero for my club team. Volleyball quickly became one of my greatest passions, and I’m so excited to step into a coaching role this season and share that passion with the next generation of athletes.

I earned my Master’s degree in Sport and Performance Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and currently work as a Performance Coach Specialist at Aretas Performance. One of the things I love most about my job is getting to help athletes improve both physically and mentally, whether that’s building strength and power, developing confidence, or learning how to perform under pressure. I’m also a Certified Personal Trainer, and I’m passionate about helping athletes reach their full potential in every aspect of performance.

My coaching philosophy is centered around creating a positive, encouraging environment where athletes feel challenged, supported, and empowered to become the best versions of themselves. I’m looking forward to getting to know each athlete and family and am excited for a great season together!
