He was also the Head Coach for the Kamloops Track and Field Club for 11 years, during which he produced 8 national team members, including Gary Reed, Dylan Armstrong and Shane Niemi.  During his time in Kamloops, Coach Evely’s athletes broke 7 national records and earned over 70 national and 7 international championship medals.

In 2006 he began work as the Sport Science Manager at the Canadian Athletics Coaching Centre. In his 4 years there he was instrumental in the development of one of the best coaching education resources in the world, the CACC website. He was also the Lead Coach for the CACC high performance sprint program, working with a stable of Olympic sprinters and jumpers including Tyler Christopher, Adam Kunkel and Carline Muir.
