Canuck Stuff News

Canuck Stuff Volleyball Club is one of the top performing and most respected volleyball clubs in Canada. Established in 1988 by Don and Mylene Saxton as a club to promote the "Love of the Game" and provide an opportunity for high level adult players to play and compete in international competitions. In 1998 Don and Mylene decided to expand and include a youth program, sharing their knowledge and experience with the next generation. 
 

Our Structure:

CSVC is an incorporated not for profit society, run by a volunteer board of directors, who work very hard to provide the best possible program and experience for it's athletes, while keeping their fees as low as possible.
 

Our Home;

Canuck is very lucky to have two dedicated volleyball facilities operated by the Saxton family to call home.  Most of our indoor hard court practices take place at the Volleydome GYM location near CrossIron Mills. We are also one of the only clubs to include to offer beach volleyball training which can be included programming and takes place at the VolleyDome near the UofC, where we have 4 outdoor and 2 indoor beach courts as well as 2 indoor hard courts.. We also have a weight training area where our athletes train with professional strength and conditioning coaches to teach them how to stay healthy and strong and prevent injuries.
 

Coaching Staff;
The Canuck Stuff coaching is second to none with a number of former national team, international, professional, and university players, not to mention a handful of former Olympians on our coaching staff. Our coaches have always been the backbone of our club as we have always focused on developing athletes rather than just trying to recruit them. Take a look at our "Teams and Coaches" page to read more about them.

​

Post Secondary Opportunities;

A big part of our focus on creating well rounded athletes has been helping those that are interested in playing volleyball at the post secondary level properly prepare for that opportunity. Our long term athlete development model allows our athletes to train and compete at every practice with many of the best volleyball players in the Calgary area which is a critical piece of that preparation. Over the past 20 years we have helped over 150 male athletes and nearly 140 female athletes go on to play post secondary volleyball in many of the top university and college programs both in Canada and the United States. Canuck has also had a number athletes go on to play professionally in Europe and currently has several alumni members playing on Canada's Senior National Team as well as the Junior and Next Gen Teams.

​

Club Successes;

We proudly display over 75 provincial and national championship banners that are a clear by-product of the hard work, time and effort our coaches put into their teams and individual athletes. Although our greatest success is evident when we look at the amazing young people that are proud to have been part of the Canuck family over the past three decades. Lucky for us, many of them have and will continue to come home to share their "Love of the Game" with future generations.

​
