 17U NOVA COACHES

Erica Meagher

Head Coach 17U Nova (Formerly Ice)

Erica’s lifelong passion for volleyball has seen her excel as both a player and a coach. A great rep experience in high school lead her to an opportunity to play right-side at a Division 1 school.  Upon her return, she got involved in playing women’s volleyball and coaching, co-founding the Etobicoke Titans.  Erica has spent over 20 years coaching at various levels, including high school, club, and Team Ontario.

As a former varsity athlete in both volleyball and track, Erica developed a deep interest in strength and conditioning, which eventually led her to training, and coaching CrossFit. Her coaching philosophy is rooted in a “whole athlete approach,” emphasizing not only skill development but injury prevention, nutrition, rest and recovery, and visualization. By focusing on these often-overlooked areas, she believes athletes can unlock their full potential on the court.  Her goal is to help each athlete find their “x” factor.
