From the east coast to the west, Mike Sayers brought relentless skill and versatility to volleyball in British Columbia. Arriving from PEI in the late 1970s, he quickly made his mark on both indoor and beach courts. A standout middle blocker for Dalhousie and BCO club team, Mike won gold and silver at the Canadian Championships, earning a place on the 1978 All-Canadian team. On the sand, he became BC’s “King of the Beach,” claiming seven provincial titles with seven different partners and representing Canada at the World Beach Championships. His mastery extended into Masters and World Seniors competitions, capturing medals into his 60s. Beyond playing, Mike gave back as a National Beach Volleyball referee and helped establish the Kitsilano Beach Volleyball Association. With his combination of athletic excellence and dedication to growing the sport, Mike Sayers remains one of BC volleyball’s most influential figures.
