Emma Kowalkowski Joins the Alliance Staff

August 4, 2025 -

Emma brings a wealth of experience from her work with Belmont University Athletics, her time supporting the Michigan Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, and most recently, her role with the Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating.

She holds a bachelor’s degree in Sport Management with a minor in Facility and Event Management from Western Kentucky University, as well as a master’s degree in Sport Administration from Belmont University.

As a student-athlete, Emma was a four-year starting libero for the Division I WKU volleyball program. She became the 16th player in program history to join the 1,000-dig club, made three NCAA Tournament appearances, and helped lead her team to three Conference USA Tournament Championships. Fun fact: Emma played in every set of every match throughout her four-year collegiate career - a testament to her consistency, resilience, and leadership on the court.

Emma has been a shining light within our coaching staff for the past five years and is deeply respected by those who know her and have had the privilege of working alongside her. We’re excited for the professionalism, energy, and passion she brings to the Alliance team, both on and off the court.

Please give Emma a warm welcome!
