The People Behind the Play: Honouring a Decade of Professional Coaches at Orbis Sports Canada

It Was Never Just About the Equipment

Anyone can rent a bubble suit. Anyone can set up an inflatable bunker. But what makes an Orbis Sports Canada event truly unforgettable isn't the gear — it's the people running it.

From the very beginning, Orbis Sports Canada made a deliberate decision: we would build our events around professional fitness coaches and health professionals. Not just enthusiastic volunteers. Not just staff who could follow a script. Real, certified, passionate fitness and health professionals who understood movement, group dynamics, safety, and how to bring the absolute best out of every participant.

That decision changed everything.

A Fitness Professional at the Helm

Orbis Sports Canada was founded by a professional fitness trainer and health coach — and that background has shaped every aspect of how we design and deliver events. We've always understood that active play isn't just entertainment. It's movement. It's wellness. It's the kind of physical and social engagement that genuinely improves people's lives.

That philosophy is why we've consistently sought out and contracted professional coaches and fitness specialists across all of our locations — people who share our belief that active experiences should be safe, structured, energizing, and deeply human.

🙌 A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Coaches

Over more than a decade of events across Western Canada, we've had the privilege of working alongside some truly exceptional people. To every coach, trainer, and fitness professional who has been part of the Orbis Sports Canada journey — thank you.

We want to take a moment to recognize some of the incredible coaches who have contributed to our story:

• 🔵 Corey — whose energy and professionalism set the standard from the early days
• 🔵 Kari — whose warmth and expertise made every participant feel welcome and capable
• 🔵 Kelsey — whose enthusiasm was absolutely contagious on and off the field
• 🔵 Matt — whose calm under pressure and sharp coaching instincts elevated every event
• 🔵 Greg — whose dedication and reliability made him a cornerstone of our operations
• 🔵 Marc — whose creativity and passion for active play aligned perfectly with everything Orbis stands for
• 🔵 And so many more — across Edmonton, Beaumont, Kelowna, Vernon, Vancouver Island, and every community in between

Each of you brought something unique to this team. Each of you helped shape what Orbis Sports Canada is today. We see you, we value you, and we are genuinely grateful for every event, every round, and every moment you gave to this mission.

"The best events aren't run by equipment. They're run by people who care."

A Decade Down. So Much More to Come.

More than ten years after those first Bubble Soccer games in Beaumont, Alberta, Orbis Sports Canada is still growing — and we are more excited about the future than we have ever been.

We are working on big things right now. New experiences. New partnerships. New ways to bring active play to communities across Western Canada and beyond. We can't share everything just yet — but we can tell you this:

Stay tuned. Hold tight. The best is still ahead.

To every coach who has been part of this journey — we hope you're as excited as we are. And to every community, school, corporate client, and family who has trusted us with their events over the past decade — thank you. You are the reason we do this.

Here's to the next ten years. 🙌
