Melissa Ouelette

Head Coach

Hi, I am Melissa Ouellette. I have always been a fan of sports. As someone who was 5’10 by the age of 12 I was encouraged to play volleyball. Fell in love with the sport and have always played some form of it. Through high school I was a middle player. Our tiny team in Plaster Rock did very well. I continued playing in different leagues after high school. Started playing beach volleyball in 2016. I have been coaching sports since grade 9 but started coaching volleyball in 2015. In 2019 I coached a high school team to a provincial title. Coached my first club team in 2019. As a coach a fun fact is I always end practice on a high note. It is a superstition of mine to end on a great rally point. Looking forward to my first year on the Spartans.
