KASI VARDELL
Coach Vardell—27—picked up a volleyball at the age of 3 and never looked back!
I started organized volleyball in 7th grade, played club and school volleyball as a setter all 4 years of high school and received awards for Newcomer of the Year my Junior year and 1st Team All-District my Senior year. I have been coaching ever since graduation. I started at the YMCA and my 11yo team went undefeated and were labeled “champions” of the season! After a few years I took the Assistant coaching position at Anahuac High School. That same year I started coaching for Texas Ultimate and it has been one of the best decisions I have made! My coaching style is positive and hands on! I love being around the game and building relationships with the girls as they grow as players and people!
ALEXIS DOUB
Hi! I’m Coach Alexis and I am so excited to get started this year. I have played school ball and club for 5 years and loved every minute. Volleyball has taught me how to work as a team, communicate with others, learn from my losses, and to celebrate all victories. My senior year I got the over all heart award for our volleyball program and I can not wait to share my passion for the game with all of you!
HANNAH WIEGREFFE
Hi my name is Hannah Wiegreffe. I played school ball at Bridge City for 6 years and club ball starting my seventh grade year. I lettered as a freshman and played varsity for four years. I also received all-district honors every year . I have coached at Queen of the Court for two years now and have coached various summer leagues, camps, and private lessons!
BRANDI ROBINSON
I have always had a love and passion for the game and as the years went on it just grew deeper and deeper. From school ball to select ball I always had a full schedule, but I lived for every moment that I got to spend on the court with my peers and closest friends. Volleyball gave me a deeper understanding of working hard and getting exactly what you put in. Now that I have graduated and no longer compete it brings me such honor and joy to be able to teach the skills and techniques I have acquired over the 6/7 years of playing the game. Seeing athletes improve their skills during this 5 to 6 month period and their love for the game get stronger is an indescribable experience.

cara robinson
My name is Cara Robinson, and I have been in education for 21 years as a teacher and a coach. I have coached various levels and various sports throughout Southeast Texas and East Texas ranging from Silsbee HS, Beaumont West Brook, and Vidor High School to Sabine Middle and High School in Liberty City near Kilgore, TX. Currently, I am an 8th grade ELAR teacher at Vidor Junior High.
My many coaching opportunities over the years are a direct result of my football-coaching husband! I am the proud wife to Dickie Robinson for 20 years. He is a 20-year educator and serving his first year as the defensive coordinator at Hardin-Jefferson. Together we have two children, Addison (12) and Colton(9).
My philosophy of coaching is focused on the athlete learning to appreciate the rules, mechanics, and strategies of volleyball. I also hope to instill a true love of the game that will teach them so many life lessons. Through repetition of skills and communication of situations, my goal is for your daughter to walk away from her time at Texas Ultimate VBA with a better understanding of this beautiful sport!

ashley frank
Sports have always been a huge passion of mine. I started playing a variety of different sports at an early age, but it wasn’t until 7th grade that I was introduced to the intriguing game of volleyball. I fell in love with the sport and continued playing through high school, as a 3 year varsity player. After obtaining my college degree, I began teaching and coaching at Vidor Jr High.
Through my 8 years at Vidor, I coached 7th & 8th grade, Freshmen and JV volleyball. At each coaching level, I developed a deeper love and understanding of the game that I want to pass on to young athletes. Since resigning from Vidor, I have continued coaching my own kids in soccer and basketball, but I am super excited for the opportunity to coach volleyball again! My goal is to help development your athletes volleyball skills, knowledge and love for the game!
