“I’m happy to have Coach Martins joining Texas One.  I set out to accomplish a goal when I started Texas One, and that goal is to provide our youngsters with the highest quality volleyball training in the region and offer them an environment where they can freely reach their dreams.  J.R. Martins will deliver precisely that."  Martins, a Brazilian, brings his country's model of practice that stresses fundamentals.  "Teaching young athletes proper volleyball techniques from the very beginning is critical, and I have full confidence that Martins will enrich and elevate our youth program."

Coach Martins brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in coaching youth and college athletes.  Prior to his arrival at Texas One, Martins was the head coach of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) women's volleyball team for five seasons after serving as an assistant for both the men's and women's programs.  In his first season as the coach of the NJIT Highlanders in 2009, the team finished first in NCAA Division I ranking for total team digs.

Martins was a four-year volleyball letterwinner and a team captain at Lewis University.   During his time at Lewis, he served as team captain while earning a spot on the dean's list for eight semesters.  At Lewis University he played as a setter and helped his team to a NCAA Division I championship title in 2003. 

After graduating from Lewis, he dedicated his time and expertise to coaching volleyball at the collegiate and club level in Brazil and United States. 

We are very happy to announce Kate Morrell as our new coaching staff to Texas One Volleyball.

"I want our young players to receive the highest volleyball training from the most experienced volleyball players/coaches in the world. Kate Morrell is a professional volleyball player who understands what athletes must do in order to play at the highest level and and can deliver that training here at Texas One," Director Jay Chae said.  

Kate Morrell recently finished her professional European League tour. From 2015-2016 Kate Morrell played for VBC Cheseaux in the Swiss league. She was earned the distinction of top scorer for the team and 6th overall top scorer in the league.

From 2013-2015 Kate played for one of Europe's top professional teams, Eurosped TVT in the Netherlands.  From 2014-2015 she also played for the Twente Cup Champions and 2015 League runners up.  Kate lead the league in receptions in the 2015 play offs.

Before she began her professional career, Kate played for University of Alabama at Birmingham from 2010-2013 where she earned many accolades.  Kate was Co-captain for the 2013 squad and played sand volleyball in 2012 and 2013.  She was a member of one of the NCAA teams to play in the inaugural season.  

In 2009 Kate played for Hutchinson Junior College where she earned second-team all-conference honors.  Kate helped guide her team to a ninth-place finish in the 2009 NJCAA Championship and posted more blocks than any other player at the national tournament. Rounding out her university accomplishments, she was an academic Dean's List selection.

I’m extremely thrilled to have Kate join our team and help shape our athletes. With her determination and passion for the sport I know she can help form Texas One's next championship team.
