Meet Joanne Ross Head Volleyball Coach
Originally from Montreal, Quebec, Joanne currently lives and coaches in Victoria, British Columbia. Previously, she coached at the Volleyball Centre of Excellence at the Richmond Oval, a volleyball academy for high school girls. She also served as the lead assistant coach for the University of British Columbia (UBC) Thunderbirds women’s volleyball team.
Working with UBC head coach, Doug Reimer, they coached the team to three consecutive USport Women’s Volleyball National Championships in 2008, 2009 and 2010. She has also served as the high performance director for Volleyball BC.
In her five year playing career at UBC, Joanne was a 3-time Canada West all-star, named as a university sport All-Canadian twice, and capped it all off winning the Marilyn Pomfret Award as the school's female athlete of the year. Joanne was also inducted into the UBC Sports Hall of Fame in 2012.
During this time, she earned the privilege to play for Canada’s national team program, and this resulted in a career that spanned over a decade wearing the maple leaf proudly. She played for the senior national team from 1997-2002, and even served as team captain. After retiring from volleyball, she also played professional beach volleyball winning the Vancouver Open and the Seaside Tournament (in Oregon).
