Welsh enters his first season as head coach of the Trinity men's and women's volleyball programs in 2025-26.
Welsh brings 20 years of coaching experience to Palos Heights, most recently as the head women’s volleyball coach at Joliet Junior College for the past two seasons. In his first season at JJC, the Wolves finished with an 18-15 overall record which included a win over the defending NJCAA national champions.
Prior to his time in Joliet, Welsh served as head women’s volleyball coach at Morton College for two seasons, where he guided the Panthers to 13 victories in his first season – most by any first-year head coach in the program’s history, and a three-game improvement in conference play from the previous season.
Welsh also brings experience from the club level and was the Girls Club Director at 630 Volleyball in Lisle, Ill. for two years, where he developed the program and helped place numerous athletes on collegiate rosters. Welsh also served at various clubs previously, including Breaker Volleyball Club in Naperville, Ill., and Prime Time Volleyball Club in Champaign, Ill.
Beyond his team’s successes on the court, Welsh has coached three valedictorians, and in his first year at Morton, he was the only program in the school and one of only three in the region to be named an Academic All-American team.
