INMAN, SC - The Chapman volleyball program didn't have to look very far for the new leader of their team, in fact they found the right person sitting on the same bench as Kim LaBoard was hired as the new head volleyball coach for the Panthers program.
Since 2022 she has served as an assistant coach with the Panthers program where they have made the playoffs in both of those seasons. "I am thrilled to lead the Chapman volleyball team, a group with exceptional talent and community backing," says Coach LaBoard. "I am passionate about volleyball and am committed to fostering a culture of excellence and sportsmanship. I look forward to inspiring our players to achieve greatness both on and off the court. It's a privilege to be part of such a supportive school and vibrant community." Prior to her time with the Panthers program, she also served as the head coach for the JL Mann volleyball for eight seasons where she compiled a 143-69 record with a winning percentage of 65 percent. During that time, she turned a program that struggled in her first year into a program that went 22-10 in her final season. From 2016 to 2022 the Patriots volleyball team averaged over 20 wins a season and in 2018 had a record of 32-8. In that final season LaBoard led the Patriots to the 5A Upper State championship game where they fell to eventual state champions Dorman.
