Jordan Robinson was introduced as the New Jersey City University women's volleyball head coach in July 2021, just prior to the start of the 2021 campaign.

2023: In a rebuilding year for the program, Robinson brought in seven new faces to make up his 12-person roster. Pillars included freshman libero Carly Everett, who averaged 4.0 digs per set. Additionally, he helped guide the final season of Katrina Nguyendon's career, as she leaves NJCU ranked eighth all-time in career assists (990).

2022: In just his second season on the sidelines in Jersey City, Robinson continued his early success after guiding his squad to 17 victories, the most for the program since 2007. Then-senior Paula Toledo was the offensive focal point for the Gothic Knights as Robinson helped her on her way to Second Team All-NJAC honors, the highest conference honors for a NJCU women's volleyball player since 2009. Additionally, then-senior Leah Seickendick garnered Honorable Mention All-NJAC accolades.

2021: In his first season at the helm of the program, Robinson guided the Gothic Knights to their first winning year since 2008 and their highest winning percentage (.600) since 2007. He helped produce three New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) weekly award winners, including one player of the week and then-junior Toledo was selected to the All-NJAC squad as an Honorable Mention All-Conference honoree.

Before NJCU: Robinson comes to Jersey City with a wealth of experience, both as a coach and a player. Currently, he plays professionally for Team Freedom — coached by NJCU's very own Carlo Edra, head coach of the men's volleyball squad — of the National Volleyball Association (NVA). Previously, the team was known as the Garden Empire Volleyball Association (GEVA) and that organization competed at USA Volleyball nationals, placing fourth in 2015 and finishing as runners-up in 2016. He and the squad also traveled to Iceland in 2017 to compete in, and win, the Reykjavík Invitational.

As a coach, Robinson touts a strong background, most recently as the top assistant coach with Division II Holy Family University for the 2019 and 2020 seasons. During that time he helped guide the Tigers to a 33-11 record, a trip to the 2019 NCAA Division II Women's Volleyball Tournament and the 2020 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) Tournament Championship. Previous to Holy Family, Robinson spent three seasons from 2016-18 as an assistant on the Alvernia University staff. With his help, the Golden Wolves amassed 30 victories, advanced to the 2017 Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) Commonwealth Tournament semifinals and earned a berth to that season's Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championship tournament. Prior to his collegiate coaching experience, he spent three seasons at his high school alma mater, Brandywine Heights in Mertztown, Pa., first as the head JV coach and an assistant at the varsity level in 2013 and 2014, and then as the head varsity coach in 2015.

A 2010 graduate of Brandywine Heights High School, Robinson was a four-year member of the Bullets' varsity boys volleyball program. As a junior, he became the first-ever libero to earn All-County accolades. Following high school, he moved on to perennial Division III powerhouse Springfield College and spent two seasons with the Pride. Springfield finished as the National Runner-Up in 2011 and won the National Title in 2012. He then transferred to Delaware Valley University and played two seasons of soccer for the Aggies in 2013 and 2014, serving as team captain in his final year. Robinson graduated from Delaware Valley in 2015 with a B.S. in pre-professional biology.

A native of Mertztown, Robinson currently resides in Lansdale, Pa.
