The St. Clair College Department of Athletics and Recreation would like to announce that Jimmy El-Turk has stepped down as the head coach of the women's volleyball program.

El-Turk just finished up his seventh season at St. Clair compiling a regular season record of 83-34 and a playoff record of 9-9. Under his leadership the Saints women qualified for the playoffs in all seven seasons and won the OCAA bronze medal in 2017-18 and in 2019-20.

He was named the OCAA West Division Coach of the Year in 2018-19 and 2019-20 and was the overall OCAA Coach of the Year in 2018-19.

El-Turk coached multiple OCAA and CCAA All-Stars and academic award winners during his time with the Saints.

"We would like to thank Jimmy for his incredible seven years at the helm of our women's volleyball program. His coaching record speaks for itself and he leaves the program in a great spot," stated Athletic Director Christina Gatto. "Our team has been in contention for a provincial medal annually and been nationally ranked many times during his tenure. We wish Jimmy all the best in his future endeavors."
