Head Coach David Rehr

Going into his fifth season as Blinn College head coach, David Rehr brings with him new responsibilities as the college athletic director.

He was named to the post on June 15, 2007 and becomes the first head coach since Leroy Dreyer to serve in a dual role as athletic director and head coach. He had served as interim athletic director from May to July 2005.
As head coach he will be striving to maintain a level of success unsurpassed in any previous era in the program’s 11-year history.
In four seasons he has a record of 146-18, with four trips to the National Junior College Athletic Association championship tournament and four top 10 finishes, including last year’s school-record fifth place.

His teams were named NJCAA All Academic teams in 2004, 2005 and 2006.

The 2006 national tournament appearance was actually Rehr’s fifth consecutive trip there. In 2002, his team at Frank Phillips College in Borger took him there for the first time.
When Frank Phillips lost its head coach, Rehr, who was the college’s trainer, took over the program. His first season the team struggled with a 1 and 10 start, but ended it by winning 18 out of its last 24 games. The next two seasons Rehr’s teams were 30-6 and 31-8 and made it to the National Junior College Athletic Association championship tournament in 2002. The Lady Plainsmen were named an NJCAA All Academic Team all three seasons under Rehr.

After three seasons in the top job at Frank Phillips, he accepted the new challenge in 2003 of taking an established Blinn program to the next level.

In his inaugural season at Blinn, his team went 43-2; in 2004 the Bucs went 35-7; in 2005 they were 34-5; and last year his team was 34-4.

The move to Brenham also put him closer to family. His mother and father, Susan and John, live in Houston. He and the former Felicia Rae Robles were married in December 2005.

The native of Tampa, Fla., graduated from Satellite High School and then attended Brevard Community College in Melbourne, Fla., where he was a student assistant with the volleyball program. After graduating from Brevard he went on to earn his bachelor of science degree in wellness and a master of arts degree in physical education from the University of South Florida in Tampa.

His hobbies include sports and reading.

Assistant Coach Brian Froebel

Brian Froebel becomes coach David Rehr’s full-time assistant this season after three years as a second assistant.
His dedication to the continued success of Blinn Buccaneer volleyball has led him to a position as one of the best young coaches in the Texas volleyball community. Never satisfied with status quo, he is constantly working to move the program forward.
He is the middles coach and works with the defense. His duties also include opponent scouting, tape analysis, recruiting and day-to-day operations.

A graduate of Columbus High School, Froebel is a 1999 graduate of Blinn College and a 2002 graduate of Sam Houston State University with a bachelor of business administration degree in finance.

While at Sam Houston, he played outside hitter for the men’s club volleyball team and was named to the Southern Interscholastic Volleyball Association (SIVA) All Conference Team in 2002. He was also the 2002 women’s club volleyball team head coach.

Since leaving Sam Houston, he has been involved with Texas Tri-County Juniors Volleyball, now known as TEXSTAR Volleyball. He has served as assistant director, camp director, tournament organizer and the head coach.
