COORDINATORS

KEVIN SCHURACK

Kevin has been coaching volleyball for over 19 years, mainly in the Parkland County area; his passion for the game and desire to learn and improve continue to grow each season. He will tell anyone who will listen that volleyball is the most beautiful sport of them all, and the joy of watching athletes and teams evolve, no matter what level they start at, is just amazing. From a philosophical standpoint, Kevin believes that athletes must have fun, learn the basic fundamentals to give them a foundation, and be challenged every day that they step on the court. Once the basics are in place, he expects his athletes to be aggressive in all that they do, while learning to be unafraid of making mistakes, because errors, especially in the early stages of development, are the catalyst for growth and improvement. He currently has his NCCP Development Coach Certification and has the current status of In Training Performance Coach and In Training Advanced Development. Beyond this, he also has a Bachelor of Education degree and continues to regularly attend other conferences/sessions which will enhance his development as a coach. Along with Ravens, Kevin also continues to instruct one on one  day camps and small group skill sessions with Limitless Volleyball,  as well as coach high school volleyball at Memorial Composite High School, where he was voted 2018 Edmonton Metro Division 1 Coach of the Year and 2023 Edmonton Metro Division 2 Coach of the Year.
