Cole:

Bio:

Cole started playing volleyball when he was 12 and fell in love with the sport quickly there after - playing both club and high school. By the end of his last year of high school, he was captain and lead the team to a regional championship and its first trip to provincials in 20 years, he then decided to pursue coaching as a way to give back and be a role model for younger kids still developing. Cole has coached high school senior boys, 18u boys with Cougar’s, and is looking forward to the season!
