The Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) 2011 Men’s Volleyball Championship hosted by Trinity Western University will take place at the Langley Events Centre over the March 4-6, 2011 weekend.

The national championship features the eight top teams from across Canada all vying for the CIS title. The Spartans, currently ranked fourth nationally, will compete against Calgary, Edmonton and Laval for the top spot—a title they last held in 2005-06 when the championship was held at McMaster.

Spartan women's volleyball celebrated success on Wednesday, March 2, 2011 when Head Coach Ryan Hofer took home CIS Coach of the Year honours. In his sixth campaign at the helm, he guided the Spartans to second place in the ultra-competitive Canada West conference with a 15-3 regular season record, a silver medal at the conference championship and the No. 2 seed going into the CIS tournament. Earlier this winter, TWU spent two weeks at No. 1 in the national rankings, a first in program history. Hofer is the first Trinity Western sideline boss to be named CIS coach of the year in women’s volleyball.

Spartan athletics benefits from the Complete Champion Approach (CCA), a model that supports development in academics, athletics, leadership and the personal and spiritual life, as well as a commitment to winning on the court and field.
