Canuck Stuff Volleyball Club (CSVC) is one of the top-performing and most respected volleyball clubs in Canada. Established in 1988 by Don and Mylene Saxton as a club to promote the "Love of the Game" and provide an opportunity for high-level adult players to play and compete in international competitions.  

 

In 1997, Don and Mylene decided to expand and include a youth program, sharing their knowledge and experience with the next generation.    

CSVC is an incorporated not-for-profit society, run by a volunteer board of directors. We work hard to provide the best possible program and experience for its athletes, while keeping fees as low as possible.

We’re proud to call the Volleydome Gym our home—a premier facility featuring 16 courts and dedicated practice times for our Canuck teams.

​

We also partner on-site with Young Fitness, whose expert trainers work with our athletes two to three times per week. They provide professional strength and conditioning programs while educating players on maintaining health, building strength, and preventing injuries throughout the club season.

​

In addition to our outstanding indoor facility, many of our athletes also train year-round on the sand with the O’Saxman Beach Club, home to several former Olympic and International beach players who now coach and mentor athletes from across the city.

Our current coaching staff is comprised of an unprecedented number of former national team and professional volleyball players, who are eager to pass along their experience and "Love of the Game" to the next generation of hard-working athletes.
 

A distinct advantage of a club like Canuck, is the high-calibre coaches we attract because of our history and reputation for developing great athletes. We know each team will not only benefit from great coaching but will be exposed to the wealth of knowledge and experience of our Technical Committee, consisting of a group of former CIS, national team and many pro volleyball players, as they help with the selection process, assist at team practices and offer positional clinics to Canuck athletes throughout the season.

As part of our focus to help aspiring Post Secondary athletes, we are committed to developing well rounded athletes with multiple skills. Our long-term athlete development model allows our athletes to train and compete at every practice with many of the best volleyball players in the Calgary area, which is a critical piece of that preparation.

Over the past 37 years, we have helped over 300 athletes go on to play post-secondary volleyball in many of the top university and college programs in Canada and the United States. Canuck has also had several athletes go on to play professionally in Europe and currently has several alumni members playing on Canada's Senior and Junior National Teams, as well as part of Volleyball Canada’s NextGen Program. 

We proudly display over 70 Provincial and National Championship banners earned by Canuck teams, but our primary focus has never been about winning, but rather the preparation and development of these young people as athletes, volleyball players and team mates.

 

We believe that learning the “process” of becoming really good at something you are passionate about is a skill that serves people throughout their lives and understanding the relationship between “process” and “outcome” is a big part of that learning. Realizing that the 85% of the season we spend practicing and training is more important and more valuable than the 15% we spend playing the game. Read more here.

With over three decades of excellence and more than 100 provincial and national championship titles, our success reflects the dedication, passion, and expertise our coaches bring to every team and athlete.

 

Yet our greatest achievement at Canuck goes beyond the medals and titles—it’s the remarkable young people who have been part of our family over the years. We take immense pride in seeing so many of them return to share their “Love of the Game” with future generations.
