Building the Future: Coach Caitlyn Bato Steps into Associate Athletic Director Role
Rancho Christian School is proud to announce that Coach Caitlyn Bato will be stepping fully into her role as Associate Athletic Director, while transitioning from Head Volleyball Coach.
Coach Caitlyn made this decision wholeheartedly and in the best interest of our growing athletic program. As Rancho Christian Athletics continues to expand, the need for strong leadership and support across all sports has never been greater. Caitlyn recognized that need and chose to step into a bigger role so she can impact every program, every coach, and every student-athlete.
During her tenure as Head Volleyball Coach, Coach Caitlyn elevated Rancho Christian Volleyball to an elite level.
• 2x Coach of the Year
• 2024 Ivy League Champions
• 2025 Ivy League Champions (30-0 in sets)
• Las Vegas Tournament Champions
• Dave Mohs Division 1 Tournament Champions
Beyond the accolades, her leadership has been marked by humility, discipline, and servant leadership. She consistently challenged her athletes to stay humble, work hard, and trust that success follows dedication and integrity. She built a culture rooted in serving your team and serving your community.
While she is stepping away from the Head Coach position, she is not stepping away from the program. Coach Caitlyn will continue to serve as Assistant and JV Coach, remaining an integral part of the culture and foundation that has already been established.
Being Head Coach over the past two years has been a tremendous blessing for her, and she is excited to continue growing our elite athletic programs in this expanded role.
Please join us in thanking Coach Caitlyn for her outstanding leadership and service to our Volleyball program, and in congratulating her as she steps into this new chapter at Rancho Christian.
