Brentwood College School’s standard of excellence exists not only in the classroom, but also on the court. The quality of coaching, competitive nature, and supportive atmosphere cultivate an all-around experience of trust, teamwork, and sportsmanship. We currently feature three junior teams and two senior teams ranging in skill level and competitiveness. This system empowers students who have never touched a ball to have a chance at learning a new sport, and allows experienced players to keep competing and improving, right to the collegiate level.
Our volleyball program gives all students a volleyball experience they will never forget, full of healthy competition, extensive coach-to-player interaction, and a great sense of community. The coaching staff is comprised of former national, university, and high school volleyball players with impressive combined coaching knowledge and experience.
The Varsity team has a remarkable record under the 15-year tutelage of Coach Jill Fougner. The team has won an unprecedented eight North Island titles and six Island Championships. The team has also won back-to-back Provincial Championships, two bronze medals and finished in the top 5 provincially six of the last ten years.
