Since that time, we have reduced that debt significantly, and have also reviewed and reformed many operational protocols. In addition to those financial and operational reforms, we have also revised our Strategic Plan to 2012 and rededicated ourselves to our core business. At the end of last year’s AGM, we focused our Strategic Plan around the theme of “volley - ball in Canada.” What this means is that the business of Volleyball Canada is to grow and enhance what is good for volleyball nationally over the long-term. It will be the responsi - bility of our PTA partners to deliver those programs which have an impact within their own regions. An example of this theme working for everyone is the development of a new membership policy. Volleyball Canada cannot directly grow the membership of any individual province or territory. However, a clear and effective national membership pol - icy will provide every PTA with the opportunity to increase their membership numbers. Remember that a cornerstone of our present policy is that every member of a PTA is a member of Volleyball Canada and vice versa. As our financial situation improves and as we continue to rebuild our capacity, we will continue to build on the successes which have taken place over the past year. As you all probably know, both our indoor teams qualified for the 2010 World Championships. We have also begun to rebuild our Beach Volleyball Program with the hiring of a National Team Coach, and the establishment of a Beach Volleyball Centre in Toronto. Our Sitting Volleyball program, both men and women have a training centre in Calgary and have competed in the Parapan AM Championships. The men’s and women’s teams have quali - fied for the World Championships. Our national championships continue to attract a record number of teams and we are now committed to hosting a mega event in Toronto in 2012. In May of 2012, we will host all our national championships in one site. This event will not only enhance what has consistently been one our most successful programs, it will contribute to that other core business: increasing the visibility of volleyball in Canada. We have begun to explore the development of “sports schools” as an element of athlete development. Currently, two pilot projects are underway, one in Calgary and one in Rich - mond. These “Centres of Excellence” are consistent with LTAD principles and we hope that a series of these centres will help produce the type of athlete we need to compete in - ternationally. As we rebuild our domestic capacity, we are also asserting our presence in national and international bodies. Our participation in the Sports Team Coalition has already resulted in some gains in funding. As our finances improve, we are again able to send more dele - gates to NORCEA and FIVB commissions and meetings. This level of involvement will eventually pay dividends for our National Teams. 1 On the other hand, we have also had some disappointments. The NRS was launched after some delay. Unfortunately, it was not the seamless, flawless system we were hop - ing for. Much work remains before it can deliver the services we expect. However, it is being fixed and we can expect an improved system shortly. In closing, I would like to thank my fellow Board Members, all our staff and the thou - sands of volunteers for their tireless efforts in making volleyball in Canada better. The work of advancing volleyball in Canada is never-ending and we are fortunate that we have so many people who selflessly meet that challenge day in and day out. Hugh Wong President 2 Year in Review Beach High Performance Committee Beach National Team Program and National Beach Volleyball Practice Centre (NBVPC) After hiring a fulltime Head Coach (Lennard Krapp), a fulltime Beach Development Coach (Angie Shen) and a fulltime admin staff (Rob Dyba), Volleyball Canada established a three-way partnership in order to run a fulltime National Beach Volleyball Practice Centre in Toronto. The partners Ontario Volleyball Association, Canadian Sport Centre Ontario and Volleyball Canada are contributing to a centre that is serving all development levels with year round quality coaching in order to meet World standards. Due to the bold goals of the program, the talent & commitment of the athletes, quality of the staff, the commitment of the partners and the already established support system, the centre is eligible to receive Ontario High Performance Sport Initiative Funding. These financial resources will allow for hiring a second fulltime Beach Development Coach. The targeted group of athletes will be expected to own the podium in 2015 (Pan Am Games in Toronto) and 2016 (Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro), which is also the focus of the cur - rent National Team Program. A future high performance advisory group, together with the Head Coach, will create a staged plan in order to achieve these objectives and build a sustainable support system. The transition has not been without its bumps. The culture change, to year round high performance beach programs and a National Federation taking the lead on the develop - ment and support of National Team athletes still has to be established. Further challenges are the loss of 2 senior cards per gender (5 remaining), no travel fund - ing for the athletes, high indoor beach court fees and appeals. Volleyball Canada and Volleyball BC started bridging the Centre in the East with the Provincial Associations in the West by organizing a selection camp in Vancouver in May 2010 for U19 and U21 World Championships as well as for T2C. It should be noted that there the Beach Development Committee (BDC) did not run any activities in the last programming year. 2009 International Results > 9th World Championships in Stavanger/Norway . van Huizen/Redmann > 5th FIVB Grand Slam in Moscow/Russia . van Huizen/Redmann > 17th World Championships in Stavanger/Norway .

The highlight of the year was without a doubt the qualification into the World Championships to be held later this year in Italy, secured by a first place finish at the Norceca qualifying tournament last August in Mexico. More recently, the team finally made the physical move into its new home, the Centre Sportif, where the 2010 Open Selection camp took place from May 9 to 14 with approximately 45 athletes participating. Another positive point for the long- term development of the program was the operation of the Full-Time Training Centre this past fall and winter. A total of 13 athletes trained with Vincent Pichette, while Glenn Hoag was busy leading the Slovenian team of ACH Bled to a European Champions’ League Final 4 appearance in early May. It will no doubt be a very busy summer and fall for the Men’s program. The A team will be preparing for the World Championships, starting on September 25th in Italy. The B team will be training for 6 weeks to prepare a group of athletes for the 2011 World University Games as well as to identify and begin preparations for longer term success in the 2013- 2016 quadrennial. Volleyball Canada will also be operating a Junior team, to participate in the NORCECA Championships held August 14 to 22 in Gatineau.

    2017 FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships presented by A1 - August 4 QUOTES Women's 101: Talita Antunes / Larissa Franca Brazil (1) def. Maria Antonelli / Carolina Salgado Brazil (9) 21-17, 21-17 (0:32) Talita Antunes, Brazil – “I think we are playing good. I can’t say that no one can stop us, but if we play good together and strong, it is hard for anyone to beat us. When I play against Brazil we try to do something different because we know each other so well. We play here on the FIVB Tour and on the Brazilian tour. Today we did better than them. Yesterday when we played Brazil, they served so well. So today for us it was important to be careful about their serves. I think we did our best.” Maria Antonelli, Brazil – “Against this team you cannot have the mistakes that we had. Three points we didn’t concentrate enough and they made the points. We were wanting a better game, but it’s okay. It’s our first World Championship together. Of course I am not happy right now, but they deserve it. Now I hope they win this tournament, they’re the only Brazil team left. So now I cheer for them. We could have played better, but that’s the game. Next time we prepare more and fix what we did wrong. I am proud of my partner and what we did in Austria. A lot of teams lost before us, so let’s think about the future. This is the beginning for me and Carolina.” Carolina Salgado, Brazil – “They are a great team, an amazing team.

As is evident by this Annual Report, we have made great strides in many areas, and there is still so much more work to be done. Highlights for me, especially as a men’s national team alumnus, include the men’s bronze medal at the 2017 World League finals and that team’s World Championship qualification. As well, it’s great to see the women’s indoor team progress at its home base in Richmond, and convincingly beating Cuba to qualify for the World Championships last fall. Needless to say, we’ve seen world-class strides made on the beach side over the past several years – for the first time having a world number 1 ranked team on the beach tour on the women’s side this past year, and both the men and women medaling at the first-ever Commonwealth Games beach tournament in Australia. Our sitting athletes are a constant source of inspiration to so many, including myself, and it’s great to see them working so hard toward Paralympic Games qualification. I was also very impressed by the work done leading up to and including the major Nationals event in Edmonton.

It has certainly been an action-packed year for volleyball in Canada. We all shared in the excitement of Canada’s performance in 2013 World League. The Canadian team won its pool, advancing to the playoffs and winning a memorable battle against the Olympic gold medalist Russian team, ultimately finishing fifth overall. The team’s performance resulted in a seven-place gain in the World Rankings – from 18th to 11th. At the World League Council annual meeting at the FIVB (international volleyball federation) head office in Lausanne, Switzerland in December 2013, a new expanded “ground-breaking” structure for the FIVB’s premier annual men’s volleyball event was announced, expanding from 18 countries to 28 for the first time. And, as you are aware, Volleyball Canada was pleased to announce host cities – Calgary, Vancouver and Edmonton - for World League early in 2014.
