Aaron Schulha, head coach of the Red Deer Kings’ volleyball team in Red Deer, Alta., has been named the recipient of the2014 CCAA Coaching Excellence Across All Sports award.
In the past five seasons, Shulha’s leadership has earned Red Deer two ACAC silver medals, two ACAC gold medals, a 17-1 record in the 2013-14 regular season, and the 2014 CCAA Men’s Volleyball National Championship title. He’s twice been named the ACAC Men’s Volleyball Coach of the Year, and just last month he was named the 2014 CCAA Men’s Volleyball Coach of the Year, while the King’s took the 2014 CCAA Men’s Volleyball National Championship title.
