Laura Condotta has been a Team Ontario coach for the past 2 years. Her time with Team Ontario began as an athlete with Team Ontario in 2014 and has been representing Canada on our Beach National team since 2019. Laura has recently returned home from playing professional indoor volleyball overseas and has begun coaching with Team Ontario’s Year-Round training group. Laura’s coaching style cultivates an environment of self-evaluation, inclusion, and personal accountability. Laura builds strong relationships with the athletes and coaches she works with. She recognizes that her ability to draw out learning from the people around her, will be determined by the quality of the relationship she has with the people she is teaching. 

Jason Marchant has been coaching both beach and indoor volleyball for 10 years; he is a Performance Beach Coach who has been with the Team Ontario Beach Provincial program for 7 years. He works closely with both the Team Ontario Beach Fulltime Training Group (FTG) that trains year-round, as well as the athletes that train with the program in the summer months. Jason has attended two U21 World Championship events as a part of the Canadian coaching delegation that supported Canada to a Women’s U19 Bronze in 2022. Jason is also a mentor coach to the beach coaching community who is currently completing his training as an NCCP Coach Developer. Jason enjoys coaching through building strong relationships with the athletes and coaches he is working with. He believes that by building strong relationships that the training environment will be one that is positive, supportive and will allow athletes to explore their own learning through trying new things, making mistakes, and using self-evaluation as tools to further everyone’s development.
