SEAVC PROGRAM AT A GLANCE

The South East Alberta Volleyball Club  (SEAVC - pronounced “see’- vick”) RATTLERS has been in operation since 1989, and has developed a close relationship with the Medicine Hat College Rattlers teams.  Entering the club’s 24th season, the SEAVC Rattlers have drawn 1000’s of athletes from all of the city’s Jr. and SR. high schools as well as from many of the surrounding communities throughout South East Alberta and South West Saskatchewan.  Last year, the club provided 4 teams (3 girls’ teams and 1 boys’ team) and had 160 athletes (105 Competitive & 55 Developmental, including more than 40 athletes who were 12 years of age or younger).   

The SEAVC program is designed to incorporate “FUN” into the development of individual and team oriented volleyball skills.  The South East Alberta Volleyball Club is highly competitive with other programs in Alberta as SEAVC teams have won: 5 Provincial Tier II Championships (18W - ‘93 & ‘98, 16W – ’94, 18M – ‘06); 2 Provincial Tier I – Div II Championship (18M & 18W - 2011); 2 Div II Silver Medals (16W – ’00, 14W – ’06, 14W – ‘07) and 1 Bronze (18M – ‘98).  The club has also garnered 2 Tier I Provincial Consolation Championships (18W- ‘92 & ‘94).  SEAVC has finished second at the Canadian Western Championships Div II (16W – ‘02) and the 18U Canadian Open (18W – ‘03, 18M - '07), and 4^th at the Canadian Western Championships (14W – ’06).  We are looking forward to another successful season and an even greater turnout of athletes for 2010.  The SEAVC program is highly regarded in the province and by the Alberta Volleyball Association as one of the few programs that promotes grassroots development younger than 12 years of age and promotes maximum participation and competitive opportunities for athletes by providing developmental programs and offering as many teams as possible.

A number of former SEAVC athletes have gone on to play on Alberta Provincial Volleyball teams and for the Medicine Hat College Rattlers or other post-secondary teams.   Former SEAVC athletes who have recently played for (current MHC Rattler*) the MHC Rattlers volleyball teams include: Michelle Alberts, Kim Andjelic, Lauren Bardahl, Alex Chesley, Diana Davison*, Paige Dean, Tiffany Donovan, Sage Fahlman*, Lindsay Hazelaar, Desirae Hemsing, Anna LeClair*, Amanda McGarry, Kayla Stephenson, Julien VanTol, Jessi Wilson, Justin Freitag, Chris Sawicki and Brett Zinger.  Other relatively recent notable SEAVC graduates having played post-secondary include:  Cecilia Enestrom (Rochester Institute of Tech), Marie Muschiol (LCC), Cindy Black (LCC), Kristie Swetnam (LCC), Joel Schellenberg (Briercrest), Jessica Zinger (Briercrest),  Natalie Weir (College of the Rockies), Janine Merkl (Grande Prairie College), Jill Walker (Louisiana Tech), Brandie Clark (University of Buffalo); Jill Herman (University of Ottawa), Kim Stonehouse (Montana State), Sara Brunner (Rocky Mountain College - Billings), Janice-Rose Reinbolt (Minot State University).   MHC Rattlers' coaches thoughout the years (including current* and previous years) who have coached and/or played with SEAVC include: Gerry Borshowa*, Sharla Butler, Paul Carolan, Brandie Clark, Benj Heinrichs*, Kim Stonehouse, Sue Edwards,  Eve (Godin) King-Hunter, Stacey (Toews) Gilchrest, Wes King-Hunte & Terry Noble.  Numerous SEAVC alumni have gone on to coach with volleyball teams at the school, club and college level, while a few  have managed to gain coaching experience at the  provincial and/or national team levels ,
