Meet Coach Jason Stuart

Jason’s love for volleyball began when he played his first season for the Sr. Men’s team at Jasper Place High School. His dedication and enthusiasm for the game grew as he honed his skills with the NAVC Bears club, NAIT Ooks, and numerous Co-Ed and Men’s league teams, spanning over two decades. During this time, Jason obtained his NCCP Level 1 Development Coach certification (Certified Development Coach) and gained diverse coaching experience over five years, working with teams such as the Jasper Place HS Sr. Men’s team and the 3 years with the Phoenix Volleyball Club. After a long break Jason returned to coaching in 2022, assisting with the FOG U15/16 Men’s team, S. Bruce Smith Jr. & Sr. Ladies volleyball program and joined SAS in 2023 and is excited to be helping with the 15U Women’s Navy team in 2024-25.

Why does Jason coach? Early in his volleyball journey, Jason had a coach who inspired and encouraged values such as work ethic, teamwork, and accountability. This mentorship, along with the values and all the friendships that he formed playing the sport, led him to want to coach and to pass on these values and experiences to not only his daughter but to other young aspiring athletes.
