Coach Kyle Graves


      After graduating from Sardis Secondary, where as a player he  helped lead the Sardis Basketball program to its first ever provincial tournament appearance in 2000 and its first ever top 15 provincial ranking in 2002, Kyle played for the University of the Fraser Valley where he was named a College league all-star twice and team captain for 4 of his 5 years at UFV.  During that time he won two College Provincial Championships and one CCAA National Championship. He helped lead UFV to its first ever CIS university playoff appearance against UBC and finished his career as one of Fraser Valley’s all time points and rebounding leaders. 

     After graduating from UFV with a History and English degree, Coach Kyle became assistant coach with the UBC Okanagan Men’s Basketball team (Kelowna) and helped lead UBC O to their first ever BCCAA Provincial Championship. Moving back to the Fraser Valley, Coach Kyle became Head Coach of the Sardis Secondary Senior Boys team while also working as the assistant coach of UFV. While at Sardis, he led the team to a 8th place finish in 2013 and a 4th place finish in 2014 at the BC High School Boys AAAA Provincial Championships.
