From the sport's early grassroots days in Scarborough, Charlie Little played a vital role in building opportunities for athletes, coaches, and officials. As a club executive, educator, referee, mentor, and volunteer, he contributed to the growth of programs that would help shape generations of volleyball players throughout the province.
His service extended from local gymnasiums to the international stage, including officiating at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal and helping develop referee education programs across Ontario. In schools and communities, he introduced thousands of young athletes to the game while fostering the welcoming, family-oriented culture that became a hallmark of volleyball in the province.
In 2026, Charlie Little was inducted into the Ontario Volleyball Association Hall of Fame in the Builder Category, recognizing a lifetime dedicated to strengthening the sport and the people who make it possible.
