Head Coach

Hayden Kosmerly

Hi, I’m Hayden and this is my beach project. My passion for volleyball has brought me to living in the heart of Kitsilano and spending almost all my time training and competing in tournaments. I’ve trained with, and received coaching from Canada’s best beach athletes including; Ben Saxton and Grant O’Gorman. Previously, before I moved to Vancouver, I was the head coach of Sudbury’s Chill Beach Volleyball club and competed as a beach volleyball athlete on the Ontario Provincial team. Teaching the skills that I’ve learned and building relationships is my pride and joy. I look forward to working with everyone from all skill levels and continue to grow our amazing beach communities!

Coach

Ben Pike

Hey guys, my name is Ben. I am currently finishing my fourth year of university volleyball at Trinity Western and am excited to start the beach season. I’ve played competitive indoor volleyball for 7 years now and hope to play professional volleyball in Europe after next year. I have a strong passion for volleyball and am excited to give back to the beach community that has taught me so much these past couple years.

Coach

Cole Beevor-Potts

Hey guys, my name is Cole! I come from a background of indoor volleyball, playing for the Camosun Chargers throughout my college career before moving to Vancouver and falling in love with beach. My favourite aspects of beach volleyball is that it requires you to really gel with your partner and have an incredibly well rounded skill set. I have been coaching those skills within the Vancouver volleyball community over the last 5 years and I am super excited to get to work with you!
