Austin Meador

Austin Meador was hired as Women's Volleyball Assistant Coach at Pacific in March 2026.

Meador came to Stockton after a stint at the University of North Dakota where he served as Director of Operations. In this position, he oversaw operational functions that support team performance, logistics, video analytics, scouting coordination, and day-to-day program execution.

Meador also served at Stanford as the technical director for the Cardinal women's volleyball program (2021-2022), managing advanced video operations, opponent scouting, and player development reports that contributed to a Pac-12 championship and an NCAA Elite Eight run. Earlier, he was a graduate assistant coach at Concordia Irvine, where he led implementation of blocking systems and helped the Golden Eagles rank near the top of the PacWest in team blocks per set. His collegiate coaching journey began with a volunteer assistant and technical director role at Pasadena City College in 2017.

Outside of the collegiate game, Meador spent ten years at Forza1 North Volleyball Club in Ontario, California, serving in a succession of key roles including club co-director, technical director, recruiting director, and both assistant and head coach. Under his leadership, the club captured multiple age-group medals - including four golds and significant national finishes - and from 2019 to 2024 saw more than 80 players commit to NCAA programs across Divisions I, II, III, NAIA, and junior colleges.

He holds a bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of La Verne and earned a Master's in Coaching and Exercise Sport Science from Concordia-Irvine.
