May 01, 2025: Volleyball Canada is pleased to announce a four-year partnership with Canadian sport nutrition leader Gruppo Nutrition.
As Volleyball Canada’s Official Sport Nutrition Sponsor, Gruppo will provide safe, world-leading nutritional supplements to Volleyball Canada’s national team athletes to support their training and competition goals while representing their country. Known for providing sport-specific nutrition, Gruppo’s Power Pack is a nutrition combination ideal for volleyball’s intensity and training demands for youth club teams all the way up to Canada’s national teams.
“I am incredibly proud of our partnership with Volleyball Canada! Our pride stems from the fact that every athlete and sports organization relationship we have is built on performance first. Since we first earned the right to work with the Canadian Sport Institute (CSI) and, most recently, nationally with the Canadian Olympic Paralympic Sport Institute Network (COPSIN), our number-one priority has been to best support our elite Canadian athletes,” said Darcy Haggith, CEO of Gruppo Nutrition.
“Formal relationships, like the one we’ve established with Volleyball Canada, are formed when we can create partnerships that extend beyond athlete performance. I look forward to all the benefits this four-year deal will bring to everyone involved, including our everyday core customers, as we continue to grow and learn.”
Gruppo Nutrition is based in Windsor, Ontario, and has grown to encompass a wide array of sports nutrition products, protein drinks, as well as clinical research, and partner services. More info: https://gruppo.com/pages/about
Volleyball Canada’s Chief of Sport, Kerry MacDonald, said: “We are excited to team up with Gruppo Nutrition. Making sure our athletes have access to the best, highest-quality products is a top priority for us, and Gruppo delivers exactly that. The company’s commitment to performance and athlete support lines up perfectly with what we’re building at Volleyball Canada. We’re looking forward to everything this partnership will bring over the next four years, both for our national teams and the broader volleyball community.”
Gruppo Nutrition will be on-site at Volleyball Canada’s Nationals in Edmonton later this month where parents, coaches and players can learn more about its products, and the science behind the nutrition offerings.
