Tyler Schnaible begins his second season as an assistant coach with the Nichols College men's and women's volleyball programs in 2022-23.
In his first season ‘On the Hill,’ Schnaible helped guide the men’s squad to a 15-12 mark and a berth in the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) Championship match. Six student-athletes – Ray Wang, Tanner Soracco, Nicholas Basco, Nick Martin, Sammy Saintilus, and Dylan Knapp – made the NECC All-Conference Team while Knapp took home Rookie of the Year honors. The women, meanwhile, fell one-win shy of advancing to the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) playoffs for the first time in program history.
Schnaible is a 2020 graduate of The Sage Colleges, where he was a member of the Intercollegiate Athletic Honor Society and an Empire 8 Academic All-Conference selection for the Gators. A three-sport athlete at Sage, Schnaible was named to the Empire 8 Sportsmanship Team in both tennis and golf.
Prior to his arrival at Sage, Schnaible played one season of volleyball at Adrian College, where he recorded 96 kills and 27 blocks. He cut his teeth in coaching at Shenendehowa High School, helping the men’s volleyball program to five sectional and two regional championships.
Schnaible – who has attended both the NCAA Career in Sports Forum and the NCAA Student-Athlete Leadership Forum – is a native of Ballston Lake, N.Y. He earned his bachelor’s degree in physical education from Sage and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Organizational Leadership from Nichols.
