Bringing the Energy. Building the Athlete. Loving the Game.

Meet Coach Kris Odette — proud girl dad, longtime teacher, IRONMAN, former player and the unstoppable force behind Push One Volleyball! With three talented daughters who’ve been competing since they could wobble into a ready position, Kris has spent a lifetime blending his two greatest loves: family and sport.

As a trained OVA Developmental Coach, Kris is currently leading the charge as the Head Coach of the 14U Avalanche with the Barrie Elites Volleyball Club. He brings more than 25 years of teaching and coaching experience to the court, along with the kind of enthusiasm that makes drills feel like game day.

Kris doesn’t just coach — he lives the athlete mindset. In 2014, he crossed the finish line of his first IRONMAN triathlon, proving he’s as committed to pushing limits as he is to helping young athletes find theirs.

For the past 20 seasons, Kris has had the privilege of learning from, working with, and being inspired by phenomenal coaches and athletes across the Barrie Elites, Georgian Cubs Volleyball, and Barrie Royals Basketball communities. These experiences have shaped his coaching philosophy and have given him the incredible opportunity to support the development of his own daughters — something he considers the ultimate win.

Coach Kris brings passion, energy, and heart to every practice, every game, and every athlete.
Get ready — with Coach Kris, the push to greatness starts now. 💥🏐
