He formed Toronto Excelsior as one of the earlier women's club teams in the circuit which evolved into Toronto Blaze.

Along with Daphne Choi, his former assistant coach and player, formed Toronto United to focus on the development of their combined provincial club athletes.


He's delighted to see the growth of the sport in both the men's and women's division in Toronto, and hopes to contribute to the city's continuing development of competitive teams.


Toronto United Volleyball (TUV) was established in 2012 to invite a diverse group of athletes from across the GTA to focus on competing at the North American Chinese Invitational Volleyball Tournament (NACIVT). Coaches Daphne Choi and Anthony Fong, brought in their athletes from their respective OVA club teams and invited veteran athletes who have competed at various levels to form the core of what is now TUV. TUV has focused on growing diversity centered around competition, training, mentor-ship and support by working together and being United.
