Bio
Coach Madeleine Halford leads both the indoor and beach volleyball programs at Texas A&M University–Texarkana, bringing a wealth of playing experience and coaching success to the Eagles.
Halford began her head coaching career at John Wood Community College in Quincy, Illinois, where she was tasked with restarting the volleyball program after an eight-year hiatus. She quickly turned the program around, guiding the Trail Blazers from a two-win inaugural season to three consecutive winning seasons and appearances in the Region XXIV semifinals.
Since arriving at TAMUT in 2022, Halford has elevated the Eagles to new heights. In just her third year at the helm, she led the indoor volleyball team to its first-ever Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) regular season championship and a berth in the conference tournament championship match, earning RRAC Coach of the Year honors. She also established the university’s beach volleyball program, which made national waves in its debut season.
Coach Halford continues to build both programs on a foundation of excellence, resilience, and competitiveness, positioning the Eagles as rising powers on both the indoor and beach courts.
