2022 COACHES

I will have my two daughters, Anna-Marie & Kathleen, coaching with me. I have coached a variety of
sports for 20 years, softball and volleyball being my favourites. In volleyball, I have coached ages
U13-U18 both at the school and club level. My expectations are simple: show up with a
positive attitude, give 100% all the time, be a team player, and demonstrate respect and
sportsmanship to coaches, refs, teammates, parents, and opponents. My goal is to develop
players both physically and mentally through the game of volleyball, and to transfer their
learning into real life. I look forward to a great season.

As a Certified level one coach, I have coached athletes from 13-18 over the past 9 years, attending club provincials each year and taking a 14U and 15U teams to Nationals. An invitation by former 9 year Team Canada player Ross Ballard and former longtime UBC mens coach, Dale Ohman has allowed me to coach at Gold Medal Volleyball camps in Chilliwack and Vancouver. I am a firm coach who invests in all of my athletes and I am straight forward when pushing them to improve. Parent support is important to athlete and team success as is great communication.  I appreciate athletes who have great attitudes, are coachable and wish to improve. Looking forward to coaching your daughter and a great club season!

Hello my name is Curtis Stelzer. I grew up in Burnaby BC till about 2013, then I moved out to Abbotsford to play college ball and study psychology. Now my area of studies has switched and I am wanting to become a teacher! Similar to my reasoning for wanting to be a teacher, I love to coach as you can see players develop not just as athletes but as people; the fact I can be a part of that development is a privilege. When I am not doing something volleyball related, you can find me on the Vedder River fishing, or on a float tube on a random lake somewhere in BC. I love the outdoors, the brilliance of nature, and the serenity and peace that comes with being outside the city. Thanks for reading my bio.
