Greenwood Teacher Named 2016 Ultimate Canada Coach of the Year

1/30/2017

Kate Raven

Carla, Alena Papayanis and Kathryn Pohran ("Kpoh") coached Canada’s Under 20 Women’s Ultimate team to a gold-medal finish at the World Junior Ultimate Championships in Wroclaw, Poland. The team went into the tournament ranked second behind a dominant Team USA; despite being the underdogs, they defeated the United States by a single point in a hard-fought tournament final.

Here’s what the Ultimate Canada website has to say about the trio:

“Each of the three coaches have had a strong and irreplaceable leadership role on their respective teams. The development of young players is something they've always been part of. Each have spent countless hours helping junior players improve, while also instilling in the athletes a strong sense of belonging to the team and to the ultimate community. Their mastery of the sport and their intrinsic drive to be better is what juniors look up to. A junior can always say "I've been coached by Carla/Alena/Kpoh" with their heads held high and beaming with pride.”

Congratulations Carla!
