A new apprentice coach program is launching at St Clair College.
In partnership with the Canadian Collegiate Association (CCAA), the college and Department of Athletics will take part in the Female Apprentice Coach Program (FCAP) for the upcoming season.
Women's Volleyball Head Coach Jimmy El-Turk will be mentoring apprentice coach Taylor Fitzgerald.
Taylor is a former member of the volleyball program who graduated this past season.
"It is an absolute honour to be accepted into the CCAA Female Apprentice Coach Program and I can't wait to get started on developing as a coach. I am so excited to take on this new challenge and step into a different role in the sport of volleyball. The program at St. Clair has given me so much and I can't wait to start giving back," says Fitzgerald.
12 apprentices in five different sports across all five CCAA member conferences will be mentored by coaches across the country during the 2018-19 season.
