Matt Ng

FTLO Head Coach

Matt has been a volleyball enthusiast and promoter of the sport for over 15 years with a range of experiences as a player, coach, referee, and as a provincial program administrator.

What started out as just another sport to play after school has evolved to become a lifelong passion shared with 350+ individuals all over British Columbia.

EST. 2017

FTLO was founded from a few ideas:

1. Volleyball is a sport for everyone to play – for life!

2. Volleyball becomes much more fun with quality rallies and with like-minded people;

3. Volleyball needs to welcome those who’ve not had fair and fun opportunities to learn in high school.

Beginnings:

Founder and Coach Matt Ng enlisted passionate coaches to create a fun and inclusive space for adults to fast track their volleyball development while meeting new friends with similar goals. Meaningful training combined with dedicated focus and fun atmospheres resulted in natural growth of programs from 14 people to 80 in 3 summers!

I’m so glad I decided to join FTLO this summer! I haven’t played volleyball in a long time and have never played grass volleyball, but the beginner group consisted of individuals with a variety of skill levels and experience with volleyball so I felt very comfortable playing. I was a bit hesitant to join by myself but the FTLO community is so welcoming and inclusive, and I met a lot of great people! Our training night had both beginners and intermediates, and while Matt mostly coached on the intermediate side, the coaches on the beginner side were very knowledgeable and gave great tips. Each session included a variety of drills and some gameplay at the end. I definitely feel like I have improved my volleyball skills over the course of the season. All in all, would 100% recommend!

Had a lot fun doing the train & play program with FTLO this summer! As someone who is relatively new to volleyball and completely new to grass vball, this supportive learning environment was exactly what I needed to feel comfortable. The program allows you to focus on techniques and getting repetition in more than you would in a game. Highly recommend for people of any level, plus you also get to meet a great community of people too!

This has been the third clinic that I’ve participated in under the tutelage of Matt and Rand, and I couldn’t be happier with my volleyball growth. While my skills can be inconsistent on solid gym floor, they have made the transition to grass easy.FTLO sessions consist of skill building and game play. It is a great place to build on all levels of skill, to challenge yourself on new terrain, and to extend your learning in volleyball.FTLO is truly inclusive to all abilities. Matt and his team of excellent coaches should be extremely proud of the volleyball community they have helped built.

FTLO is a clinic like no other, brining players from all backgrounds together, whilst maintaining a positive energy suitable for picking up new skills or improving on existing abilities. Matt brings his passion for volleyball, translates that into bite sized instruction and facilitates your development within the sport. On a personal level this clinic gave me the foundation to both have fun, and by the end of it, transition into more competitive environments where I could play more seriously. Truly a fruitful community.I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone. Full stop. You won't regret it. Your fellow proud FLTOer.
