McKenna Schrader – 14U Risselada – Assistant Coach
McKenna grew up in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, where she danced, and played soccer, basketball, and volleyball. Although she loves all sports, volleyball is her favorite. She began playing volleyball in grade 3 for school and joined a club in grade 6. McKenna also played for three years in the ACAC for The Kings University College and is currently finishing her Degree in Social Sciences.
McKenna began her club career with the Prince Albert Toppers, playing from 13U to 15U, before switching to the Sask Stealth and concluding with an 18U provincial gold medal. During the pandemic, she trained with the Saskatchewan Provincial Team. Additionally, she played Sr. A volleyball from grades 9 to 12.
McKenna has always played as an outside hitter but has a special interest in the defensive aspect of the sport. She is a strong advocate for girls and Indigenous youth in sports. Known for her encouragement and voice, McKenna loves cheering on her teammates and bringing smiles to their faces, a passion she is excited to continue as a Coach!
McKenna is looking forward to not only sharing her knowledge and passion for the sport but to also encourage others to follow their dreams and to help them love the sport she has loved her whole life!
