Duck Nation,
Let's welcome Coach Sarah Neal to Taylor ISD as our new Girls Athletic Coordinator and Head Volleyball Coach.
A Bastrop native and UMHB kinesiology graduate, Coach Neal has coached in Belton ISD, Gonzales ISD, and most recently helped open Chaparral High School, where she built the volleyball program from the ground up. During her four seasons at Chaparral, her teams made repeat playoff appearances every year, including a 2024 undefeated district championship season and a deep playoff run that earned her 16-5A Coach of the Year honors.
Coach Neal has experience coaching volleyball, basketball, soccer, powerlifting, and track & field, and is passionate about developing confident, resilient student-athletes both on and off the court.
Outside of coaching, she enjoys spending time with her 3-year-old daughter, Kora, staying active, and embracing every adventure life brings.
Welcome to Taylor, Coach Neal!
