Program Overview
Mini-Club is a program designed to give players an opportunity to play with a team in a club-like setting but without the full commitment to Club volleyball. The Mini-Club program is a lower price and commitment of time than regular club and is perfect for players who are interested in growing in their volleyball ability. This program is a great step up from local volunteer-coach leagues but a step below the full club experience.
We employ coaches who are fully invested in the development of the players as part of this league. All coaches are certified and trained in Houston Stars training elements and will work with players of all abilities to help them improve. Many kids from our mini-club program are able to integrate into the Stars programs once they complete a season or two of Mini-Club.
Mini-Club runs sessions throughout the year so if you miss the opportunity to join for a season, stay tuned as we have new opportunities opening up often.

Youth Programs Director: Alyssa McMorris
Alyssa McMorris discovered her love for volleyball at the age of 10 and has been passionate about the sport ever since. After playing for several club programs, she found her home at Houston Stars Volleyball Club, where she was coached by Kaylee Ray. Her time at Houston Stars played a pivotal role in shaping her not only as a player, but also as the coach she is today.
Alyssa attended Cy-Ranch High School before becoming a member of the first graduating class of Bridgeland High School. She continued her volleyball career at Texas A&M University, where she competed on the club volleyball team and remained involved through intramural competition while earning her bachelor's degree.
Following her playing career, Alyssa returned to Houston Stars to begin coaching, eager to give back to the program that had such a meaningful impact on her own journey. Since then, she has coached athletes of all ages and skill levels and now serves as the Youth Program Director. She is passionate about creating a positive, encouraging environment where athletes can build strong fundamentals, develop confidence, and discover a lifelong love for the game.
Alyssa believes volleyball is about much more than wins and losses. It teaches resilience, teamwork, discipline, and confidence—qualities that extend far beyond the court. Her mission is to help every athlete grow as both a player and a person while continuing the tradition of excellence that makes Houston Stars such a special place.
