Meet The Coaches
Erin Brassard
"As a former Canuck club volleyball player, I've been fortunate to learn from esteemed coaches like Don and Mylene Saxton, as well as Craig Gattinger, instilling in me a deep love and understanding of the game. After a brief stint playing at the college level, and then taking a hiatus to start a family, I returned to the volleyball world with renewed passion. While coaching indoor club teams for the past two seasons, my heart has always been drawn to the sand. My coaching philosophy focuses on empowering female players, nurturing their love for the game, and fostering confidence both on and off the court. I firmly believe that success in volleyball, like any sport, requires a balance of mental and physical skills, and I am dedicated to supporting my players in both aspects. With a mix of experience, passion and dedication, I am committed to helping young athletes realize their full potential on the beach volleyball court, and beyond."
