The games are a great experience for athletes and coaches and I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to attend them again.

Coach Chloe Reimer-McCaughan –
I am honored and excited to take up the gauntlet as the head coach for Team Manitoba at the 2025 Canada Summer Games in St. John’s. The Canada Games, beach volleyball, and mentoring young women are 3 things that I am deeply passionate about. Having the opportunity to combine all 3 is beyond rewarding! I look forward to many hours in the sun and sand (and wind and rain) working to prepare our province’s elite athletes for the unique technical and tactical elements of beach volleyball as well as equipping them to become their own and each other’s coaches.
I am privileged to have been involved in the Canada Games in various roles over the past decade, so I know firsthand that it “takes a village” to bring a coach and their athletes to peak performance. I am grateful for the support I have received from mission staff and Volleyball Manitoba over the years and look forward to the continued partnership as we prepare for St. John’s.
