2015-16 COACHING STAFF paul funk HEAD COACH
Coach Paul Funk enters his 10th year at the University of Guelph. The Gryphons have made the OUA Final Four twice in the last 4 seasons including last year when they fell just short of a berth to the CIS National championships losing a heartbreaker in the semi-finals. For 2014-15, Guelph has set its sights on another playoff berth and a return to the OUA Final Four despite fielding a relatively young roster. For the last 6 years, Coach Funk has been involved as a head coach for the OVA’s High Performance Centre during the summer and served as the Team Ontario head coach in 2011. Prior to coming to Guelph, he coached Orebro Volley of the Swedish Elitserien, where he led the club to 3 consecutive Swedish championships (SM-Guld) and an overall record of 78-7 in his 3 seasons. While in Orebro, his club competed twice in the European Top Teams Cup and once in the CEV Cup, compiling an overall record of 4-5, including matches versus club teams from Russia, Latvia, Bosnia, Belgium, Romania, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Poland. In 2002, he was an instructor at the Swedish national sport school RIG Falkoping where he was involved with the Swedish Junior national team program that competed in Chateauroux, France. Coach Funk has also been involved with the Team Canada women’s national team programs at various levels since 1999, including the 1999 Pan-Am Games in Winnipeg, 2 NORCECA Championships (Bronze and Silver medals), 2 Olympic qualifying tournaments for Sydney 2000, 2 Montreux Volleymasters tournaments (Montreux, Switzerland), 1 FISU World University Games (Mallorca, Spain
