Head Volleyball Coach, Claire Hiler on leading CBC:  "As Head Coach of the Coastal Bend College volleyball program, my goal is to bring relentless energy to any program and to help student-athletes reach their maximum potential. My background as a multi-sport athlete helped me develop a passion for athletics and an understanding of what it means to be versatile and of strong character as an athlete. Coaching the game of volleyball means not only developing physical skills and strategy but also developing individual and team character."

Hiler proceeded to say: "Helping student-athletes establish good character on and off the court is essential to not only the success of the program but the success of each individual beyond our program. Providing student-athletes the opportunity to play at the next level and compete at a high level is my passion as a coach. At CBC I want to create a competitive and welcoming culture within our program. I am excited to represent Coastal Bend College volleyball for the 2024-2025 season and looking forward to a competitive season for the Cougars."
