PHILOSOPHY
ENJOYING THE SPORT
Our goal is to nurture a passion for volleyball that will grow into
long-term active lifestyles, deep friendships, and positive memories. We emphasize injury prevention, healthy functional relationships, sound technical skill development,
and proper administration of the club.
MAXIMIZING EVERY ATHLETE'S POTENTIAL
We want our athletes to achieve or exceed their potential.
This requires a healthy pressure to strive for more, regardless
of achievement so far. This pursuit achieves results and
prepares youth for the pressures of life.
LONG-TERM DEVELOPMENT MODEL
We adhere to Canada’s long-term athlete development model for elite athletes. This emphasizes different objectives for each age and level of play and is a progression of excellence.
This ensures athletes remain engaged, learn healthy habits, avoid burnout, and stay engaged in the sport.
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
Sport is a means to the end of becoming a better person. Whether it is learning to compete, working with others
to accomplish a goal, or humility in winning or in losing,
our end goal is for the character of our athletes to be formed into resiliency that endures throughout their life.
