Helloooo out there! I’m Danny Henke, the Rush volleyball vice-president and one of two OGs serving on the board. My wife and I live near Millicent with our two amazing, and very busy, daughters. When I’m not running with the family, I can be found at the Duchess Rec, or in a gym, coaching. Outside of volleyball season, you’ll see me at the golf course, or on the diamonds coaching softball. I started coaching volleyball as a favor to my sister at St.Joe’s in 2006. What was to be a single season has turned into years of building players’ skill sets, and more importantly, players’ confidence. I believe that all of our athletes can be all.of.the.things.

I’m Ashley and I have loved volleyball since I was a little kid. I lived in Kelowna for high school, which meant if I wasn’t playing indoor volleyball, I was outside playing beach volleyball. Sun up to sun down, I had a volleyball in my hands. Once upon a time… many, many years ago, I played for the Mount Royal Cougars. In 2014 I helped coach the U18 girls team and am excited to be working with the U13 girls this season! I love reading, hiking and spending time with my husband and our 4 kids. I’m glad one of them decided to be a volleyball player!
