Aaron Schulha has been the head coach of the Red Deer Polytechnic Kings Volleyball Program for 14.5 seasons. Schulha led the team to ACAC gold and CCAA bronze in 2022, ACAC gold in 2020, CCAA and ACAC Championship titles in 2016 and 2017, and also to back-to-back ACAC titles (2013 & 2014) and a CCAA National Championship in 2014.  Over the past 14.5 seasons, his teams have accumulated 6 ACAC Championships, 4 ACAC silvers and an ACAC bronze as well as 3 CCAA Championships, 2 CCAA silver medals and 1 CCAA bronze.  Aaron has amassed a combined record of 305-78 in ACAC and CCAA competition as the head coach of this historic program. He was named ACAC Men’s Volleyball Coach of the Year in 2016, which was his third time receiving this award. He also received the ACAC Men’s Volleyball Coach of the Year, CCAA Men’s Volleyball Coach of the Year and the CCAA Coaching Excellence Award across all sports in 2014. Prior to taking over the RDP program, Schulha was an assistant coach with the University of Alberta Golden Bears for the 2006-07 season.

Before turning to coaching, Schulha had a successful playing career, including winning three straight CCAA National Championships with the RDC Kings, as well as a CIS silver and a CIS Championship with the U of A Golden Bears. In the summer of 2005, he was a member of the Canadian National Team and represented Canada at the World University (FISU) Games in Turkey. He was lucky enough to return to the FISU Games in 2009 in Serbia, but this time as an assistant coach.

Coach Schulha believes strongly in creating an environment that promotes growth, responsibility, accountability and enjoyment. The team strives for excellence on the volleyball court but equally as important are the relationships that student-athletes develop during their time at RDP. He strongly believes that his Kings Volleyball players are better people upon leaving this institution and embarking on the next chapter of their lives.
