El-Turk mentoring former player

After a successful four-year playing career with the St. Clair women's volleyball team Julie Milling isn't ready to walk away from the team. She's returning to the team as a coach through the CCAA Female Apprentice Coach Program.


"The CCAA Female Apprentice Program allows me to continue to share my love for volleyball in a different position and I am excited to start. The athletes and coaching staff are very familiar to me" said the Woodstock native.


A graduate of the Fitness & Health Promotion and Event Management Programs at St. Clair Milling helped the Saints win a pair of OCAA bronze medals during her four-year career.


"I'm excited to have a chance to be a mentor to Julie as a coach. I think it is important for me as a coach to pay it forward. I am fortunate enough to have a few incredible mentors and I want to work hard to be able to be that for Jules" said head coach Jimmy El-Turk. "She has the character and makeup to back up her knowledge of the game and we are very lucky to keep her in Saints gear, just in a different role".


Milling is looking forward to the transition and wants to instill the values she learned as a player into the players she'll be coaching in the future, "I am honoured and can't wait to learn under such an incredible group of females and coaching staff".


According to the CCAA, in the 15-year history of the Female Apprentice Program 233 female apprentices have been supported.

"Another great resource for local sports produced by a person that has been invested in local sports for decades."

This is why...

Powerplay Sports was born while on a trip to Italy in the summer of 2018. Walking through a charming pedestrian underpass reminded me of being in the tunnel at the University of Michigan in the early part of my career. That feeling led to thoughts of Windsor Lancers football camp opening in three weeks and all of the fall sports that weren't going to be covered because of cuts to local sports coverage by legacy media. 

​

With the support of a loving wife and family, I decided to create Powerplay Sports as a passion project.  

​​​​

I've come across some great people who have helped capture the essence of our community throughout the years like Tony Techko, Tony Doucette, Scott Scantlebury, Dom Papa, Steve Bell, Will Hill, Jim Parker and Mary Caton to name a few. 

​

Please spread the word and follow along here or on social media so we can continue having the priviledge of highlighting our athletes, our community.
