President’s Report 2014
As President of Volleyball Manitoba, it has been a pleasure to serve both our stakeholders and members of the community.
We have faced many challenges throughout my tenure but success does not come without its fair share of obstacles. We
have worked diligently to provide an atmosphere of fairness and transparency so that our Association and membership can
grow and prosper.
Throughout the past year, Volleyball Canada has recognized that the NRS was not the best solution for its user group. The
many concerns expressed by the stakeholders did not go unnoticed which lead to the exploration of a new system; one that
was user friendly and could address the needs of everyone. I am proud to say that this new system (VRS) is being launched
this month with the full endorsement of our Association.
It was our hope to have our new Strategic Plan ready to be presented to the membership for the 2014 AGM but,
unfortunately, we are not quite there. As one can appreciate, this process is quite detailed as we are trying to capture the
direction of the Association’s future. It is hopeful that this process will be completed by years end.
The financial stability of the Association is always at the top of the agenda as we need to ensure our future. Over the last
year, the Board, Executive and Staff have worked tirelessly to ensure that we can sustain our programs and products
without reducing our services to our members. This has been a challenge but has proven to be successful as we are both
operating within our existing budgets and also reducing, if not eliminating, our outstanding debt.
This year saw Volleyball Canada institute a financial penalty to those not having their proper NCCP level prior to the 2014
National Championships. Although some may deem this to be harsh it seems more than reasonable, ensuring the best
interests of the youth participants are at the forefront. Remember, Volleyball Canada did give everyone plenty of notice so
this shouldn’t have come as a surprise.
Congratulations to all who participated in the 2014 Western and National Championships. We continue to show the rest of
the country that Manitoba is a force to be reckoned with. This can also be said for our summer beach and provincial team
programs. Well done.
Did you know that our province has some of the most internationally renowned officials in the country? Too often we look
at the game from a players / coaches perspective. Take some time to learn about this great sport from their view point. It
will expose you to a world that will give you a true appreciation for the hard work that these officials contribute.
As I mentioned earlier, success does not come without its fair share of obstacles. In November of 2013, our Association was
faced with the daunting task of finding a new Executive Director. This vacancy created many challenges as this position is
considered to be the head of the Association. During the following months, an application process was designed and
st
launched. Many applicants with extensive backgrounds applied and on March 31 2014, Mr. John Blacher was hired as our
new Executive Director.
Mr. Blacher comes to the Association after working with Volleyball Canada as the Director of Operations for the past 15
years. His extensive experience in this sport, both locally and nationally, will serve the association well as we move forward
in our strategic plan. This is truly an exciting time as the Association’s future is in good hands.
So in closing, the past year has presented with many challenges and changes but all have proven to be necessary as we
continue to grow and serve our community to the best of our abilities.
Sincerely,
Michael Stephens
President

As of this spring, the Volleyball Manitoba office staff is currently operating with the four individuals as outlined above that
are tasked with the role of delivering the day to day operations and programs of the association. Our staff work together on
many projects and events, sharing in responsibilities as it relates to their job titles and roles. One task that has been
underway and will hopefully be completed in the coming weeks is a review and establishment of updated job descriptions
for all staff so we can continue to serve our members in the most efficient manner possible.
The following report is a summary of Volleyball Manitoba programs and events from 2013-14.
Membership Structure Review
“Membership, and the act of becoming a member, reflects the commitment of individuals and groups to supporting the
governing body’s mission and values. The development and stature of our sport depends on the willingness of participants to
buy into the concept of belonging to an entity that encompasses the greater good for our sport – the capacity to speak as
one voice that is inclusive of all of the various components and levels of participation. In this regard, our sport’s strength and
vibrancy is ultimately reflected by its ability to incorporate and reflect the sum of its parts”
Volleyball Manitoba (VM) is revising its membership structure for the current season with the recognition that membership
growth is the fundamental platform for the development of volleyball in our province. The strategy to develop membership
is based on the following key principles:
1) Membership growth is the result of retaining existing members and attracting new members.
a) Retaining membership requires an understanding of the benefits and experiences that are valued by your
members.
b) Growth requires investment in strategies to develop new members and customers.
2) Everyone – Volleyball Canada, Volleyball Manitoba, Association Members and Local Affiliates - benefits from
membership development and needs to collaborate on strategies for growth.
3) Membership fees contribute to the overall growth and development of the sport through supporting the organizations
capacity to develop and deliver programs.
4) Tracking memberships - who stays, who joins, who leaves, demographics of membership, patterns of growth, etc. - is
essential to evaluating growth and the success of growth strategies.
Volleyball Manitoba incorporates a format of Individual Membership jointly with Volleyball Canada, whereby each
participant who registers with VM will also register, and be aware that they are registering, with Volleyball Canada.
Membership fees include a Volleyball Manitoba and Volleyball Canada component. The membership period is from
September 1 until August 31 of each year.
Over the past two years, Volleyball Manitoba has lost membership from both the Winnipeg Women’s Volleyball League and
most recently the Winnipeg Coed Volleyball League and Winnipeg Coed Volleyball Spring League. Volleyball Manitoba
recognizes the reasons behind the decisions made by the leagues and is committed to rebuilding the relationships with
them. As membership growth is a fundamental platform for the development of volleyball in our province, regaining these
leagues as members, along with attaining membership from other adult leagues that exist throughout the province, will be
an objective and priority for Volleyball Manitoba in the coming years. With this in mind, a new Adult Volleyball membership
category has been created to better reflect the services and opportunities available to this membership group at this time.
In addition to adult members, Volleyball Manitoba is implementing a new category to help capture membership with the
‘Youth Development Player’. Youth Development Players include players competing in programs not leading to a Provincial
/ National Championship (ie. 12U Atomic or Mini, house-league, try-outs). It is also our hope that we can eventually capture
University and College teams as formal association members along with school programs.

This membership review has also allowed us to analyze benefits, services and opportunities that we offer to our members.

Strategic Planning
Volleyball Manitoba is continuously pursuing opportunities that will benefit our membership group and help to attract new
members. Your wants, needs, opinions and interests are important to us, and help to provide us with a guide as we seek to
add value to our membership.
We are in the process of developing a new Strategic Plan to be implemented for the 2015-2020 cycle. We have developed,
through a Strategic Planning Committee and stakeholder consultation, a new mission and vision statement, and have also
recently acquired feedback from the Volleyball Manitoba membership through an online survey. Close to 170 respondents
completed the survey providing their opinions on what the priorities of the association should be as we move forward
through the next cycle.
Mission Statement
Volleyball Manitoba: Our mission is to promote and facilitate the growth and excellence of volleyball in Manitoba

training sessions that were held at Adrenaline Adventures and Melrose CC. In addition to Mike Maidment, certified coaches

2014 Beach Volleyball League – Adrenaline Adventures
This season the ‘Volleyball Manitoba Summer Series Beach Volleyball League’ along with the ‘Bandits Hot Summer Nights
League’ both made a move to the Adrenaline Adventures venue located on Winnipeg’s west perimeter highway between
Roblin Blvd and Wilkes Avenue. Adrenaline Adventures is a multi-use recreational facility featuring cable wake-boarding,
climbing and zip-line and paintball, and also includes a clubhouse with showers, restaurant and lounge and an outdoor
patio. This season the venue included 20 new beach volleyball courts to host the beach volleyball leagues.
The first year in moving our summer Beach Volleyball League from Melrose to Adrenaline Adventures did have its
challenges. For the most part the league went well with only a few cancelled evenings due to rain-outs. The league was
completed in mid-August except for the doubles categories on Monday evenings as they experienced the most rain-out
cancellations. These divisions wrapped up their final matches the end of August.
The feedback from participants with the Adrenaline facility was with the playing surface - sand depth and quality of sand.
To a somewhat lesser extent the height of the fence that surrounds the playing area still allowed many balls to bounce over
and into the water or into muddy areas at other times during wet conditions. In addition, the wind in the open area did
affect play somewhat, but not to the extent many participants thought it would be. The facility owner is well aware of the
concerns, especially with the sand, and this will need to be addressed for start of next season.
2013 Graduating All-Star Banquet & Matches
Volleyball Manitoba recognizes the many hours of hard work and dedication that athletes and coaches commit to their
team throughout the high school volleyball season and the purpose of the Graduating All-Star Banquet & Games, organized
by Volleyball Manitoba, honours those individuals whose contributions have been exceptional over the previous high school
season.
The 2013 Graduating All-Star Banquet was held the morning of Saturday, December 7 at the Celebrations Dinner Theatre at
Canad Inns Fort Garry, and the matches followed at St. John’s Ravensourt School.
The full list of all athletes and award winners can be found in Appendix D.
2013-2014
Coaching Clinics & Development
Between November 2013 and March 2014 a total of 6 clinics were organized, with 65 coaches in total attending and
initiating their certification process. Evaluations of the Facilitators was also extremely positive.
There are also currently 5-8 coaches beginning their Level 3 certification and a Level 3 Clinic will be organized this fall /
winter to accommodate this need. We will also be recruiting 2-4 coaches to be certified Level 2 Beach Coaches throughout
next summer.
10
Moving forward; dates for clinics will be set in September for a series of Clinics and Professional Development workshops to
run September to March. This includes opportunities such as the Great Plains Coaching Clinic which we intend to run
annually in September. Last year 150+ coaches attended the clinic at Dakota Collegiate which featured Glenn Hoag (Men’s
National Team Head Coach) and Doug Reimer (UBC Women’s & Former National Women’s Team Head Coach) as keynote
presenters. This year’s 2014 Great Plains Clinic is scheduled for Friday, September 12, again at Dakota Collegiate and
features the following presenters: Arnd Ludwig and Scott Koskie (Women’s National Team Head and Assistant Coaches),
Ben Josephson (Trinity Western Men’s Head Coach, back-to-back national titles, in 2011 and 2012, a national silver medal,
in 2010, and a Canada West championship in 2012), Ken Bentley (Head Coach of the 2013-2014 CIS National Women’s
Champion, University of Manitoba Bison’s), Diane Scott (University of Winnipeg Women’s Head Coach) and Lee Carter
(Brandon University Women’s Coach) and more!
The Brandon University Volleyball Coaches Summit is also organized as a one a one-day seminar aimed at providing basic
and technical and tactical sessions for volleyball of all levels. This year’s event is scheduled for September 18 at BU’s
Healthy Living Centre. Volleyball Manitoba intends to be more involved in this initiative moving forward, as well as
additional development opportunities in the early new year around the club volleyball season.

Manitoba ROC Year End Report 2014
Submitted by Barry Miller, Regional Officials Chairperson
The MVOA Executive would like to thank all those officials who provided countless hours of officiating this past year. Each
year the number of matches we are asked to provide officials for increases throughout the province and at National
/International Tournaments throughout Canada and the world. Ed Toews (Winnipeg) and Bev Workman (Brandon) continue
to do an exemplary job in ensuring that we provide our services to those who have requested officials. As assignors, their

Congratulations are extended to Renzie Gonzales who obtained his National Certification this past May in Edmonton. As
well to Kevin Hughes, Andrew Nago, Oliver Pagsuyuin and Gareth Thiessen for their successful upgrade to the Provincial
Level. This year’s Wezer Bridle Golden Whistle Award winner was Blair Unger. Each year this award is given to an MVOA
Official who excels in their commitment to officiating at all levels.

Beach: Darryl Friesen - FIVB, NORCECA
My thanks to each of you who gave of your time to officiate and evaluate far too many matches over a very short period of
time. As well, Bohdan Ilkiw has decided to step away from International participation and officially retire as an active
International Referee. Bohdan's commitment to the International Program has been enormous and has benefited not only
the MVOA'S program but officials development throughout Canada. Thank you, Bohdan.
Beginning this May, the Beach program moved to Adrenaline Adventures on the West Perimeter. The decision to move the
program from Melrose CC was based upon its better all-round facilities and number and quality of courts. The first Beach
Officials clinic was held in May with several new officials certifying. Stan Korol worked with these officials and other
returning certified officials throughout the summer during league play in preparation for Youth Provincials and expected
National Championship invitations.
The Women's National Team hosted a very successful NTCC Tournament in July. My thanks to those who officiated and who
worked with the officials who travelled from outside the province. The MVOA has been very fortunate to have the women's
team in Winnipeg these past years and looks forward to continuing our officials development program with them in the
years to come.
In the past year several major issues confronted the MVOA . The Volleyball Manitoba Screening process did create a variety
of problems for officials. For those MVOA officials who chose to officiate AGE CLASS, the required documentation was
acquired. However, many of those who officiated VM sanctioned Age Class tournaments were neither members of the
MVOA, nor did they have the required Screening-documentations. The second issue dealt with this use of non-certified
MVOA officials for AGE CLASS Tournaments. The result became obvious at Provincial and National Championships where
issues developed as the matches were officiated in the correct manner. Players/coaches and parent behaviour toward
officials decisions and other participants created a very inappropriate atmosphere. My thanks to those officials who
followed the procedures outlined on the MVOA /Age Class websites regarding inappropriate behaviour by
players/coaches/spectators.
Welcome back to John Blacher as VM Executive Director. John brings to all members of the volleyball community in
Manitoba a wealth of knowledge and expertise in all aspects of volleyball. The MVOA looks forward to working with John
for many years to come. The office staff of John, Mitch, Anthony and Mike and the Host Convenors for this year's AGE
CLASS Tournaments are to be congratulated for an excellent job.
Thanks to Kirsten Varey, who set up a Women's Referee seminar this past November and has kept MVOA Women officials
informed on what has been transpiring at the National level to encourage greater participation in the officials program.
Hopefully, come fall 2014 another seminar will be held.
In closing, my thanks to all MVOA officials who made this year a success. Special thanks to our very capable secretary, Jane
Edstrom, who spends many hours each year distributing uniforms and getting materials ready for our meetings and to Azad
and Ed who keep the officials assigned and ensure their honourariums arrive on time.

Hall of Fame Committee Report 2014
Submitted by Heather Bradshaw & Linda Clark, Committee Co-Chairs
th
Volleyball Manitoba’s Awards Banquet was held on Saturday, June 7 , 2014, at the Canad Inns Club Regent. Doors opened
at 4:45 PM and dinner was served at 6:15 PM.
This year four athletes and one team were inducted into the Manitoba Volleyball Hall of Fame:
LINDA FREDERICKS (TATARYN)
JO-ANNE RICHARDSON (ONISHKO)
TERRY GAGNON
JOHN PAULSEN
THE UNIVERSITY OF WINNIPEG MEN’S VOLLEYBALL TEAMS 1971-1974
(There were no Honour Society awards presented this year)
The committee consists of Dennis Nord, Mike Burchuk, Brenda Westwood, Linda Clark and
Heather Bradshaw. A very special thank you to Anthony Roberts, our program director, for his many hours of hard work in
organizing the annual event and to John Blacher (Executive Director), Mitch Davidson (Technical Director), and Mike
Maidment (Director of Coaching Development).
Also, thanks to Michelle Sawatzky, our MC, photographer Rusty Barton, awards committee chair, Andrei Halkewycz, Big
Sand Volleyball Clothing and to the Canad Inns for serving such a delicious meal.
Recommendations:
- to continue using 2 separate committees; Hall of Fame & Awards & Recognition
- to continue recognizing other volleyball achievements: University, National Teams and Officials etc.
- to send out a press release, pre and post banquet
- to use the same venue and book it for next year, if available.
- to prevent a late start, have 2 adult bars
- to make inductees aware that other awards are being presented at the banquet, not just Hall of Fame
To accommodate the growth this event has been experiencing in recent years, the 2015 Volleyball Manitoba Age Class
th
Awards & Hall of Fame Banquet is being scheduled for Saturday June 13 at the Canad Inns Destination Centre Polo Park.

Volleyball Manitoba Finance Committee Report – September, 2014
Financial and operating results for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 are presented in the audited financial statements
included in this Annual Report. As reflected in the financial statements and this brief report, results are favorable and
Volleyball Manitoba has returned to stable footing.
In summary;
1.
2.
3.
The Plan. A plan to eliminate the cumulative Unrestricted Operating Fund deficit of $137,370 was presented and
approved a year ago. This plan included:

Transfer of the $44,094 cumulative Facility Reserve to the Unrestricted (Operating) Fund.

Operate fiscal 2014 programs at break-even or better, control spending and improve reporting (with the assistance
of Sport Manitoba providing day to day accounting/bookkeeping support).

Engage new revenue opportunities including incremental sponsorship, new initiatives, and fundraising events
(including participation from multiple Volleyball Manitoba stakeholders).
Fiscal 2014 Results.

All elements of the plan were implemented. These actions, coupled with not having a full complement of staff in
place for the full fiscal year, controlled spending and achieving revenue targets allowed the annual surplus to be
$123,292, compared to a budgeted surplus of $21,000.

The fiscal 2014 surplus of $123,292 and the transfer the Facility Reserve, allowed for the cumulative deficit to be
wiped out and Volleyball Manitoba begins the year with a cumulative surplus of $30,016.
Looking Forward to Fiscal 2015.

Concurrent with the work of the Strategic Planning Committee, the Finance Committee will participate in the
development of a multi-year budget.

In the meantime a Fiscal 2015 budget has been presented to (and approved by) the Volleyball Manitoba Board– as

An initiative listed in the 2013 Finance Report was preparation of a feasibility study for a Volleyball Manitoba
Indoor and/or Beach facility – utilizing the services/experience of Volleyball Manitoba members (at no cost). In
this regard, a sub-committee has been established and a preliminary study will be prepared and provided to both
the Board of Directors and Strategic Planning Committee in fiscal 2015.

Appreciation.

The staff of Volleyball Manitoba should be commended for operating modestly during this year of re-stabilization.

Heartfelt appreciation to Jaclyn Paul, Bhernalyn Bautista and other members of the Sport Manitoba Finance team
who have provided accounting/bookkeeping support during Fiscal 2014.

Gratitude is owed to Sport Manitoba for partnering with, supporting and extending operating credit to Volleyball

for their willingness now to allow Volleyball Manitoba repay the debt without penalty.

Thanks to Volleyball Manitoba board-members (and their families/friends) for donating time and effort to bingos,
tournaments, and other initiatives (beyond normal board-work) to generate addition bottom line earnings during
the fiscal year.

Acknowledgement should also be extended to our Board Executive Committee, and the Volleyball Manitoba
Finance Committee comprised of John Olfert (Chair/Board member), Kate Daniels (Board member) and Mario
Collette (member at large) – who have collectively directed the financial endeavors of the association this past
year.
Recommendations.
The Finance Committee and Board of Directors recommends: That the Volleyball Manitoba 2014 Financial
statements be accepted as presented in the VM 2014 Annual Report.
b) The Finance Committee recommends: That the Gislason Targownik Peters be appointed auditors for fiscal 2015.
Respectfully submitted,
John Olfert, Board Treasurer & Chair Finance Committee
