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 Lead Coach Matt Ng enlisted other 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’ve been participating in FTLO clinics and tournaments for the past two years, and it’s been a great time! From the start, the environment has been really welcoming & inclusive, no matter your background in volleyball. The coaches are all friendly and provide feedback that’s both constructive and useful! Everyone in the community is super supportive and fun to play with, and I look forward to coming back for future seasons 🙂

I've had the pleasure of training with the beginner's clinic in Richmond and it has been a highlight of my summer 💞☀️ I had heard great things before signing up, but it honestly exceeded my expectations-- I was coming to volleyball after only having highschool gym class experience. The Haikyuu urges were too strong so I really wanted to try even if I was starting from the bottom. I would have never thought that I would be able to compete in multiple tournaments and improve as much as I did in 1 season. 🥺🙏 Everyone was always so positive and fun and it really turned my lame Mondays into something to look forward to each week. 🥰 I still have a lot to learn but I really felt that I improved so much. It was thanks to the help of my peers and all the amazing coaches!! Egan, Sunny, Steven, Nate, Matt you guys are the best! 🙌 Thank you and the rest of the FTLO team for all your hard work 🙌🏐 I will definitely try to sign up for more sessions in the future 🙏

I would recommend FTLO Volleyball if you are looking to brush up on your volleyball skills and make some new friends. To be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect when I first signed up but I have signed up for another season! The clinic provides a solid foundation that allows you to develop or further refine your skills – no matter what level you are. It is a fun and accepting environment as everyone is there to have enjoy themselves and grow. Even as a beginner with limited experience, I never felt any judgment from the other players and received nothing but support. Last but not least, the coaches (Matt, Justin, Brian, and Steven) play a significant role in the success of FTLO. Their approachable and kind nature makes learning easier and also genuinely enjoyable. They are encouraging and motivate players to push themselves to improve their skills, instilling confidence in players.

I first joined FTLO last summer and it has been an incredible experience! Not only did I make lots of new friends, but I also learned how to play volleyball and grow as a player. My favourite part about FTLO is the warm and welcoming community they’ve created where everyone feels included and supported, no matter your skill level. The coaches are absolutely amazing, patient, and encouraging (shoutout to coach Justin, Steven, Matt and Brian!). I highly recommend FTLO to anyone who wants to have a blast learning and playing volleyball and being part of a fantastic group of people 🏐🎉

Words can’t express my appreciation for FTLO. I first got involved during their outdoor summer clinic in 2023 and came in with low expectations and no previous volleyball background. The environment was friendly, lighthearted and welcoming and it’s a testament to all the coaches and their positive attitudes! Shouting out coaches Sunny, Egan and Sim during the summer and Steven, Brian and coach Dream during the fall and winter indoor clinics. FTLO has built a wonderful volleyball community and I’ve made so many new friendships and improved my skills a lot because of it! So whether you’re a beginner that has never played, or someone looking to shake off some rust and get some reps in, this is the community for you! Have fun learning, improving and meeting tons of volleyball loving humans! 10/10 would recommend so sign up for a clinic or join their leagues and I promise you won’t regret it 🙂

FTLO has been the most welcoming, informative and enjoyable clinic I have joined so far! Most volleyball clinics and camps I've attended have had a very check-list like structure as well as a clear separation from coaches and participants. But in FTLO, the coaches (Matt and Rand) had really put an emphasis on your progress and improvements. They really would help you to progress on your weak points and aim to excel on your good points. There is also a strong sense of community and a "judge free zone" mentality which really helped me feel fully comfortable to really focus on improving. I had joined the Spring Clinic earlier this year and honestly, I was very anxious. I'm quite shy, had joined alone and haven't played in a while. The atmosphere and encouragement created by the coaches was such a relief to me. I felt like it was truly a place I could be fully vulnerable to learn and improve with no judgement. I also admired the coaches vulnerability when sharing their own volleyball mistakes and journey. Thank you FTLO for doing what you do! 🙂 My love for the sport grew even more and I made a lot of really awesome friends through this! 🙂 100/10 definitely recommend.

I play indoor mostly. Wanted to get some extra reps and improve on my passing during summer break. Wasn’t quite sure if I would get anything out of this clinic but was pleasantly surprised. The coaches and Mat taught us solid tips and training that I’m working on for both my outdoor and indoor game. Great vibes and positive energy. Good for newbies and oldies. Thanks FTLO crew.
