School Day Academy

Each day brings me a little bit closer as we removing barriers to being able to run a success School Day Academy.  We have figured out the location, possible coaches, times, session plans and goals.

The philosophic approach will be similar to the one that has been developed for the Elite Academies evening sessions.  We want to make the School Day Academy one where genders and ages will not be separated.  The instruction will be individualized and designed to work for any level of player.  We would also like to continue to offer the flexibility for attendance of the sessions similar to the evening sessions.  Athletes should only pay for the sessions they attend which accommodates the busy lives of the present-day multi-sport athletes.

For this program to be financially possible it will require a group of approximately 20 athletes.

  1. The group will target high school athletes, male and female who wish to take their volleyball skills to the next level.
  2. The session will occur Monday to Friday.
  3. Volleyball will occur Monday, Wednesday and Friday 1:00 - 3:00 pm
  4. Speed, agility and strength training on Tuesday and Thursday. 1:30 -2:30 pm
  5. Volleyball session will cost 25 dollars
  6. SAS sessions will cost 20 dollars
As the head coach Dr. Darren Cannell can assist in answer questions parents might have about the challenges of freeing-up students afternoon schedule.  (Darren in his past life was the Principal of the Saskatchewan Catholic Cyber School)


We will start to accepting athletes into this program starting June 1 for the September 1 start date.  Athletes will be required to complete the Intent to Register Application and will be required to complete a 1-3 minute video which must be posted on Youtube stating their volleyball goals and reasons why they should be chosen for one of the academies the limited number of spots.
