Our head coaches

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

Dylan Goossen

Hi, my name is Dylan, and I am looking forward to diving into some fun on the sand! I began coaching volleyball in 2014, working with youth athletes indoors in club and school settings, as well as on the beach in camps and with BC Summer Games. Throughout, I have been fortunate to work with many differing skill levels and goals, from athletes driven by the social benefits of sport to those focused on pursuing the sport into college and university. For myself, beach volleyball has been an amazing outlet for physical activity, friendship, and community, and I am excited to share this passion with you all!

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!

I am passionate about the sport and committed to helping athletes of all levels improve their game. Join me, and let's take your game to the next level!
