Summer Heat and Volleyball

Brutal Heat last week.

Last week's heat was brutal on the Beach Volleyball players. Still, the elements are what make beach volleyball such an incredible sport.  The team that learns how to play no matter the elements will be successful in this sport.  I loved watching the Elite Teams play in the tournaments and look forward to seeing them again in the next tournament and in provincials.
The lime green beach elite shirts stand out, and at one time, out of the 16 teams on the court at the last tournament, 12 of them were elite players.  Nice to see them represent.  Congrats to all who took part, and we will continue to offer the training to find success.
Monday, we add another group of beach athletes, bringing our numbers to 56 beach players. 
If you are interested in joining the beach volleyball sessions check out which spots are available or contact us and ask.

First-ever 11-13-year-old camp

Then on Monday of next week, we will have the first-ever Age 11-13-year-old camp on the new sand.  This camp teaches the basic volleyball skills in the sand, an excellent opportunity to allow us to have a six-athlete-to-one-coach ratio.   We have 22 spots filled and only have room for two more athletes before it is full.

Making the Cut camps

School volleyball will be happening in the 2021-2022 school year.  The Making the Cut camps are the best way for athletes to shake off the cobwebs of COVID and a year of no competition before they go into school tryouts.  We have moved the Making the Cut camps back to the Sasktel Soccer Center, so we have lots of room.  We have also extended it over two weeks as the number continues to grow, and we will need the space.   The success of all the academy activities is because of the great coaches. They offer to share their expertise at our events.  A great thanks go out to all the coaches who have helped out to help in building the academy.
