Tampa Preparatory School has hired Leanna Taylor as its new Volleyball Head Coach, Director of Athletics Mike Flynn announced Tuesday. Taylor replaces Danielle Marante who recently accepted an Assistant Coaching position at Division 1 Marshall University.
"We are excited to have Leanna back home at Prep. As a Tampa Prep Alum ('95), who won three state championships as a player, she has a unique perspective of the Tampa Prep Volleyball Legacy. While her primary duties will be as Varsity Head Coach, she will also be assisting with development of our Middle School volleyball student-athletes as well." said Flynn.
