VICTOR LINDAL

Vic Lindal, a.k.a. “Mr. Volleyball”, is known as a visionary, leader, innovator, founder, coach, administrator, mentor, commentator, and referee. From starting the Winfield and Williams Lake Camps and Pacific Rim Championships, to setting the model for the Team BC program, to developing a training plan that led to BC’s double gold medal win at the 1975 Canada Games, to being a founding member of organizations such as BC Volleyball Association (now Volleyball BC), BC High School Volleyball programs, and Victoria Volleyball Association, it would be an understatement to say that Vic has been influential in the development of our sport in BC. Vic was inducted to the Volleyball Canada Hall of Fame in 2000 and the BC Sports Hall of Fame in 2001, and is still actively coaching today, most recently in Zimbabwe.
