Scott brings a wealth of experience as he has been playing and coaching volleyball for over 30+ years. He started his playing career at the University of Calgary whereupon his last year he was a starting power hitter on the 1988 undefeated CIS National champions. In his four years of playing Scott played all positions except for setter, the knowledge of playing each position has given him invaluable knowledge for playing/coaching each position. After graduating university Scott continued to play indoor volleyball with the men’s Canuck volleyball club team as well as played beach volleyball in numerous AVA & BCVA tournaments.

The past 28 years Scott has been a teacher with the Calgary Board of Education, 7 years in Junior High, and 21 years in high school. Within that time his boys/girls teams have won 2 city championships, qualified for provincial championships over 10 times, and has had many of his players go on to play at the college/university level. The past two years Scott has co-coached the 14U & 15U boys teams.

Scott says his strongest asset is his ability to break down the technical skills of volleyball. As he did not start playing volleyball until he was in University he did not have the fundamental skills that his teammates had from playing high school and club. This resulted in paying particular attention to details, breaking down his own weaknesses/shortcomings and then dedicating himself to improve. Greg Ryan, Scott’s coach at U of Calgary, said that he planned on cutting Scott after his first year but upon seeing how much he had improved in the off-season he could not eliminate someone that was that dedicated to the sport. Andrea Bell was part of Scott’s city championship 2003 team then went on to play at St. Francis Xavier. Andrea has said “Scott was the best coach that I ever had, none of my University coaches came close to his knowledge and advice”.

In the past 10 years Scott has been teaching Sports Performance which has given him more knowledge in the areas Sport Psychology, Nutrition, Weight/Speed/Quickness/Agility training, Biomechanics,

Hannah McCorquindale began playing volleyball for Canada West in her 15U season in 2008, just two years after she found a love for the sport. She played for Canada West until her final 18U season where she played middle and left side. She then went on to play for the Medicine Hat College Rattlers from 2014-2016 as an outside hitter, where she began to pursue her career as a teacher.

Hannah has had the opportunity to play as a middle hitter, left side hitter, right side hitter, and for a brief time in her  club season, she trained as a setter. Since she has the experience playing in each of those positions, she has gained a great amount of knowledge of how the game is played in each position, which transfers great into her coaching.

Hannah began coaching volleyball in 2012 at STARS volleyball camps coaching players from grades 1-9. In 2013 she began coaching volleyball camps at Rally Pointe and still continues to do so. She is extremely excited to coach the 15U Girls Blue team, and to share her knowledge and love of the game with her players.
