Sharlene Speers (U15 Girls)
Sharlene has had a lifelong passion for volleyball, excelling in the sport from a young age. She earned two provincial high school titles alongside her teammates and played for two seasons with the Southeastern Alberta Volleyball Club (SEAVC) as club volleyball was gaining popularity. Her dedication and skill earned her a scholarship to play college volleyball with the Medicine Hat College Rattlers, where she transitioned from playing middle in high school to right-side at the collegiate level. She continued competing in competitive women’s and coed leagues for over a decade before stepping away to focus on raising her four children.

Her love for volleyball came full circle when her second daughter developed an interest in the sport, giving Sharlene the opportunity to return to the court as an assistant coach for her daughter’s club team in Calgary. Now, with two daughters actively playing volleyball, Sharlene is excited to join the CVC Kodiaks as a co-coach. She is passionate about encouraging girls to stay active and engaged in sports, and she thrives on building meaningful connections with each player and their families. Her energy, positivity, and genuine care make her a dedicated and inspiring coach, committed to fostering both skill development and a love for the game.​​​​​​​
