Student- athletes, staff, coaches, officials and volunteers have the right to participate in a safe and inclusive training and competitive environment that is free of abuse, harassment or discrimination.

We strongly encourage all Cascades to read the following document, along with the linked UFV and sport organization policy files, and adhere to all guidelines as we seek to build a safe and healthy sport community. communication is key At UFV Athletics, we value clear communication, and we will strive for that in all our relationships. To that end, every Cascade will engage in regular, periodic goal-setting and evaluations. Student-athletes will meet with coaches early in the season to develop academic and sport-related goals for the year. These goals will be revisited during regular one-on-one meetings, and coaches will complete a written evaluation of each athlete prior to the end of the winter term. Staff members will conduct the same process with the Athletic Director. key staff contacts Steve Tuckwood Director of Athletics & Campus Recreation [email protected] 604-854-4583 Alicia Hurley Associate Director, Athletics [email protected] 604-504-7441 ext 4134 Dan Kinvig Communications Coordinator [email protected] 604-557-4071 Cheryl Van Nes Program Manager, Campus Rec & Wellness [email protected] 604-504-7441 ext 5111 Stacie Dixon Facilities Operations Coordinator [email protected] 604-504-7441 ext 4354 Shayna Cameron Athletics Event Coordinator [email protected] 604-316-8142 Grant Ammann Head Athletic Therapist [email protected] 604-369-5776 Matt Chapdelaine Strength & Conditioning Coach [email protected] 778-779-4740 Joe Enevoldson Head Coach, Men’s Basketball [email protected] 236-622-1623 Al Tuchscherer Head Coach, Women’s Basketball [email protected] 604-557-4076 Tom Lowndes Head Coach, Men’s Soccer [email protected] 604-851-6305 Niko Marcina Interim Head Coach, Women’s Soccer [email protected] 778-889-7869 Aaron Pauls Head Coach, Men’s Golf [email protected] 604-819-2312 Cody Stewart Head Coach, Women’s Golf [email protected] 604-832-8792 Nathan Bennett Head Coach, Men’s Volleyball [email protected] 604-557-7620 Janelle Rozema Head Coach, Women’s Volleyball [email protected] 236-858-9764 Jim Mitchell Team manager, Wrestling [email protected] 778-878-3459 Jen Ross Head Coach, Women’s Rugby Sevens [email protected] 604-807-8017 Kyle Lotzkar Assistant Coach, Men’s Baseball [email protected] UFV Rowing [email protected] 2 Vision, mission & values 6 university of the fraser valley UFV is built on our shared commitment to the university’s OUR VISION purpose, principles, and our future direction.
