Chad Aldrich
Coach A has a combined record of male and female soccer seasons of 265-71-38; there has been 39 playoff championships, 7 district titles, 10 coach of year honors, and a 6A soccer state championship title. He has also helped over 100+ athletes in his coaching career to earn scholarships to play at the next level.
He started his career as the men’s varsity soccer assistant at Pflugerville High School in 2005. After four years, he accepted the head men’s job at Vandegrift High School when they first opened in 2009 with freshmen and sophomores. The program built was heavily focused on character building, technical skill, and family-oriented atmosphere which has led to much of the success surrounding Vandegrift men’s soccer program from 2009 to 2016.
The first senior class (class of 2012) team finished as 5-Time Champions including 51-AAAA District Champions, Regional Quarter-Final Champions, and finished inside the Top 16 in Texas soccer. Since then, every senior class under his coaching career has been either ranked or finished in the Top 16 in Texas Soccer division. With 5 male senior classes, his teams were 2x District Champions and 3x runner-up. He has three Coach of the Year honors and has several of his players competing at the college level in Texas, Florida, California, Washington, Illinois, and New York.
Chad would train high school females during the summer months in various elite level camps as well as private soccer sessions of guys and girls from ages 7 to 12 during the high school year. When accepting the head girls’ position at Round Rock in 2017, it allowed a complete transition in full time training females year round.
As the head girls soccer coach at Round Rock the past nine years, the team has broken all the school records in best finish, state rankings, national rankings, scoring, and defending. The combined years has produced a record of 169 wins, 23 loses, 24 draws; while starting or finishing in the top 16 in the state of Texas each year. Highest national rankings have landed at 7th and 9th in the Nation while producing 5 district titles, 27 playoff championships, and the FIRST EVER GIRLS 6A D1 STATE CHAMPIONSHIP.
The state title captured in 2026 was only the 2nd team title in all of Round Rock and the first female state title. Receiving the schools first ever resolution from Representative Bucy at the State Capital was a huge honor and blessing to go along with the city of Round Rock/Mayor (Morgan) which has dedicated May 12th in a proclamtation; along with Williamson County Commissioners (Boyles/Cook) for May 19th in a proclamation; to be forever known as LADY DRAGON GIRLS SOCCER DAY.
Balancing between coaching and family, Chad has the world in his hands with his beautiful family; wife Rhina, son Chase (16), and daughter Mia (10).
