We're happy to welcome Taylor back for his 7th year coaching with NOOKS.  Taylor played volleyball for many years and some of his volleyball career highlights include a Provincial Championship with his U17 club team as well as an Edmonton High School City Championship with his Spruce Grove Panthers in his final year of high school.  Taylor played for 2 seasons with the NAIT Ooks as an outside hitter in his first year and a libero in his final year.  Taylor left NAIT after his second year to pursue his BA in English, followed by a BEd.  

Taylor has coached for 7 years, most recently with the 2023  U17 Men who had an exceptional season, winning U17 Provincials, the Best of the West Tournament, and placing 3rd at Volleyball Canada Nationals in Calgary. Taylor and his asst coaches were also recognized at the 2017 National Championships in Saskatoon for their exceptional coaching and sportsmanship.  We look forward to a great season in 2024 with Taylor and his U18 men!

We are excited to have Brayden coaching with NOOKS for another season. He grew up playing highschool and club volleyball and has coached at Spruce Grove Comp HS for 7 years.  Brayden's goal for the U18's this year is to continue to build on their successes in 2023 and have a strong competitive team that challenges at the top of VA and VC tournaments, and has fun doing it! When Brayden is not in the gym, he works as an electrician.
