Tough. Focused. Connected.

As the story goes, when Marcie was born her dad took one look at her long fingers and decided that she should be a basketball player. Growing up in Arizona, Marcie started playing basketball as soon as she could walk. Eventually she joined the Tucson Rattlers. While on the Rattlers, Marcie was coached by Chris Kalssen, who she reveres as one of the best coaches she has ever met. Marcie played at Hamilton High and Basha High School in Chandler Arizona. There she was a leader with records in blocks and rebounds. After suffering a shoulder injury she decided to hang up her basketball shoes and chose a different path to continue her love for the game.   

Marcie has been coaching around the Seattle Metro area, in some capacity, over the last 10 years. She has coached through the Magnolia community center since 2017. She currently coaches at University Prep, as the middle school girls coach and the high school varsity assistant coach.

She enjoys playing pick up in her free time, working on her career in public health, listening to podcasts, and hanging out with her cat Frank! Emma is passionate about women's participation in sport and has worked to bring awareness to the inequalities that female athletes face both in college and professionally. She has writing published in Ms. Magazine, Forbes Magazine, and The Hampshire Gazette calling attention these matters.  Emma is excited to apply what she has learned on the court and in the classroom to help the players that she coaches. 

Stuart has been developing, directing, and teaching One on One programs in the Seattle-Area since 2011. He joined One on One Basketball in 2004 as the Washington DC Regional Director after returning to his hometown from Seattle, where his wife was attending law school. During his three years as Regional Director in DC, Stuart led substantial growth of the After School Enrichment programs and he helped develop and launch the Player Development Program (PDP).  Stuart grew up in Bethesda, MD, and played varsity basketball and rugby at Walt Whitman High School. At Loyola University New Orleans, Stuart was selected captain of the rugby team his junior and senior years, and was selected to the U.S. Eagles Collegiate All-East Rugby Team, an honor given to only 45 college players east of the Mississippi River. Stuart has competed in several team and individual sports, but his first love is basketball. He takes pride in teaching the fundamentals to aspiring players of all ages. His experience working with children as young as 4-years-old to coaching both boys and girls varsity teams and training collegiate-level athletes has allowed him to develop different strategies and nuances that are most effective for each group or individual player.  “I’ve seen professional players with amazing skills demonstrate to kids at camps and clinics, but when it comes to actually teaching those skills, what progression to teach them in, and simply how to relate to the kids in general…well, that is an entirely different skill. The ability to relate and adapt to your students in addition to your content knowledge is what makes a great coach or instructor in this day and age.”  Since 2011, One on One Seattle has had the pleasure of partnering with more than 50 Seattle-area school enrichment programs, and provides several camp and clinic opportunities throughout the year in partnership with Seattle Parks & Recreation and Redmond Parks Dept.
