Starting off with 40 donated volleyballs and four teams, executive club director JoEllen Saulsberry founded Texas Tornados Volleyball to train aspiring volleyball players and help students secure college scholarships in 1994.

How it started: Growing up in California, Saulsberry said volleyball was huge in California. She started playing volleyball and basketball as a hobby with her best friend. After transferring to the University of Houston during her senior year she met Bill Walton, a coach that would end up being a mentor and father figure in her life.

Quote of note: “I feel like sports are so important because it teaches a lot of really valuable life lessons. So that's what I try to instill in the players,” Saulsberry said. “Like how to work with other people. You know how to work through failure, and it builds character at the end of the day. ... Also they'll meet some of their lifelong friends they'll have forever through doing this, and the memories are awesome too.”
