NATALIE GURNSEY Head Coach 8TH SEASON

One of the most successful players to ever put on a Dinos jersey, Natalie (Schwartz) Gurnsey was named the eighth head coach in University of Calgary women’s volleyball history on April 26, 2011.

Gurnsey is the first alumna to be head coach of the Dinos women’s volleyball program since Theresa (Sekura) Maxwell, who was at the helm from 1972-79.

A native of St. Albert, Alta., Natalie headed south in 2001 to begin a more than 10-year association with the Dinos, including stints as a student-athlete, an assistant coach, and executive director of the Dinos volleyball club – nationally recognized as one of the elite volleyball development clubs in Canada.

In her five-year varsity career, Natalie was a two-time All-Canadian setter, a three-time Canada West champion, and part of the Dinos’ 2004 U SPORTS national championship squad. She was the 2002 winner of the Bill Popplewell award as the University of Calgary’s female rookie of the year, and she was the starting setter for all five of her seasons with the team.

A former member of the junior national team, Natalie represented Canada again at the 2005 Summer Universiade in Izmir, Turkey on the national ‘B’ team.

A two-time Academic All-Canadian, Natalie graduated from the University of Calgary in 2007 with a BA in communications and became the first executive director of the Dinos women’s volleyball club. She spent three seasons as an assistant coach with the varsity squad from 2007-08 through 2009-10, a period during which the team earned CIS silver and bronze medals. Her experience also includes head and assistant coaching duties with the provincial team program and the Dinos club. In 2009, she was an assistant with the Alberta team that captured bronze at the Canada Games.

Administratively, she co-founded the ‘Best of the West’ tournament which runs in Calgary each spring and brings together the top 17U and 18U club teams in Western Canada. Not only is the event an important recruiting showcase where U SPORTS coaches and club players can connect, but it serves as a fundraiser to support women’s health and wellness initiatives in the communities of all participating teams.

In 2015, Natalie was named the Canada West coach of the year after she guided the team to their first playoff appearance since 2008.

Natalie and her husband Josiah were married in July 2013 and welcomed their first child, Levi, in March 2018.

AL TAYLOR Assistant Coach

Al Taylor joined Natalie Gurnsey’s staff ahead of the 2012-13 season. Al, who was a player in the early days of volleyball at the University of Calgary, has been associated with the sport for more than 40 years at all levels – a career that started with the Dinos in 1968. He was the 1973 University of Calgary male athlete of the year and represented Canada internationally from 1972-81. He was captain of the Canadian team at the 1976 Olympics in Montreal and travelled extensively throughout the world during his national team career, competing in two Summer Universiades, a pair of world championships, and two Pan Am Games – among a lengthy list of other international competitions.

In 1976, Al began a 30-year career as a high school volleyball coach in Calgary, coaching at Dr. E.P. Scarlett, Sir Winston Churchill, and Centennial until his retirement in 2006. His coaching resume also includes stints as the head coach of the Canadian FISU Games team, along with two tours as an assistant coach with the men’s national team program. Al was honoured by the Calgary Senior High School Athletics Association in 1996 with an award named in his honour. The Al Taylor Award is presented annually by the Calgary Booster Club to the top male high school volleyball player of the year. In 1991 the Calgary Booster Club gave him its Honoured Athletic Leader Award in recognition of his work in both and volleyball.

He was inducted into the Volleyball Canada Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Alberta Volleyball Hall of Fame in 2005.

PENNI NICOL Assistant Coach

Penni Nicol became a member of the Dinos women’s volleyball coaching staff in 2017. Penni grew up playing volleyball in Manitoba where she played in high school at Lord Selkirk and with clubs like the Manitoba Junior Bisons. She was a recipient of the Manitoba Volleyball Association’s (MVA) Mike Burchuk Award for Graduating High School Female MVP based on academics and volleyball ability.

Penni began her coaching career in 2007 with the Cochrane Jaguars Volleyball Club and the AVA Atomics program where she worked with players aged 8-18. She is a certified NCCP Level 2 indoor volleyball Coach and Development Coach. Penni is also a Level 3 Advanced Development Trained Performance Coach.
