April 27, 2022: Volleyball Canada is proud to announce its roster of men’s indoor team coaches for the 2022 season. Under the supervision of men’s Head Coach Ben Josephson, the listed coaches will guide the program for various events this year.

“The group of coaches we have coming into work with our Canadian athletes this summer is incredibly exciting. Not only do we have the top players in Canada training and learning in Gatineau, we have some of best and brightest minds in the game to aid them,” explained Josephson, who is in his first season as head coach. “We believe in relationships, collaboration and problem solving and the coaches we have this summer are experts in these area giving us the synergy across all of our programs that will help us achieve the goals we have for this summer’s World Championships and the Olympic Games in Paris 2024.”

The team is based in Gatineau, Quebec. The senior team will be preparing for Volleyball Nations League, which has a stop in Ottawa in early June, as well other major events including the 2022 World Championship.

"These coaches all bring their technical knowledge and reputations for excellence to the program," said Volleyball Canada high performance director Julien Boucher. “We’re looking forward to building on the progress of the men’s team in recent years as we work toward Paris 2024.”
