Cost from September to April is generally between $1,500-$2,000 per athlete (minus any money raised from fundraising*) Fee includes: clothing, practice fees, coaches’ expenses, tournament registrations, and some travel/accommodation costs for Quebec/USA tournaments. Additional costs with respect to travel tournaments are to be expected. The team will keep a detailed seasonal budget and parents will be well-informed on payment schedules and fundraising expectations/opportunities.
* Please note that in previous years, some payments were eliminated as athletes were able to fundraise in the range of $400 - $800 each, depending on each athlete's level of participation in fundraising and team tournament hosting. Athletes are also encouraged to seek corporate sponsorship (letters can be provided). The 18u team will also look to secure a corporate partner to help costs during the 2024-2025 season.

Andrew Arseneau
Head Coach
Andrew is entering his fifth year at UNB, studying Biology. He has a love for volleyball that has lasted eleven years, having played Spartans in his final year of club, then moving onto UNBSJ as a left side. He now sets and plays right side with his main focus being a coach with the Spartans program, VNB, beach volleyball, and PEP. Andrew is currently a trained Advanced Development Coach and is working towards higher certifications.
Katie Scott
Assistant Coach
Katie is excited to embark on her first season coaching with the Spartans, alongside Andrew. Katie was fortunate to play under the respected Mike Swift and John Richard, who significantly shaped her skills as a middle blocker and overall player. In adult senior leagues, she expanded her game to include power positions and is really digging beach volleyball lately! Katie’s adventurous spirit extends beyond the court—she has biked across Canada and undertaken numerous hikes worldwide. Outside of coaching, she cherishes her role as a mother to her daughter Maeve, with aspirations of coaching her in the future. Katie’s diverse experience and enthusiasm for the sport make her a valuable addition to the Spartans’ coaching team.
