Our beach volleyball training has ended, and it was great to see some of our athletes do well at the Provincial Championships in Regina. If you have any pictures of the athletes at Provincials, please send me copies via email, and I will put them in our photo gallery.   Send us Images Our photo gallery has over 14 thousand images you can download and print off. We have uploaded them in a high resolution, so they will be made into posters or framed pictures of our athletes Check out the Photo Gallery Our SMLW Outdoor Camp  This camp was so much fun we will do it again for sure. Check out the Photo Gallery Last Few Weeks of Summer We are entering into the last two weeks of the summer, and then starting the second week of September, the academy will move indoors.   Most athletes are entering school volleyball, and the Making the Cut Camps are designed to help prepare them for the school tryouts.  Both Sessions are sold out.  So what can you do instead? Many athletes are stressed about the upcoming school volleyball tryouts, and the academy offers a batch of private lessons this coming week. A private lesson allows the main athlete to pick the topic, select a time that would work for them on any of the three days, and select the coach they would like to instruct the session. Monday to Wednesday (August 12,13,14th), a private lesson can be for as many athletes as the main athlete would like to bring to the session. It can be for one person or for a whole team. When the sessions move back indoors in September, a Private lesson can only have between one and four athletes attend. Register for a Private lesson Thursday, we have the first ever Volleyball in the Park. You have to register on the site to attend, so I know how many nets to set up. We can set up as many as four courts and encourage athletes to come to play for free. You can meet some new volleyball friends or bring your own. Register for Volleyball in the Park What to do in September? September is usually a slower month for the academy as many athletes want to see if they are selected to a school team and decide which academy sessions will fit into the school schedule. The academy's solution to this is the same as during COVID. The athletes have the freedom to select to attend Jump training or one of the Gen sessions and not worry about the overlap of school practices and games with the academy sessions. If you sign up for a session, you only pay for those you can attend.  This causes issues with the academy's ability to offer sessions without losing money. An honest and dedicated approach to attending as often as possible is the foundation of any athlete's ability to develop into an elite athlete.  Month-long sessions September Jump Training from 7-8 (Most school teams are done practicing by then.) We will continue to offer Private lessons (but they will be indoors) NexGen Setters  U14 and U15 age athletes (month-long session) EliteGen Setters U15 and U16 (again, a later practice time to not conflict with school practices) Weekend sessions NetGen Fundamentals for grades 4-6 (Sunday 10:00-12:00 pm) NexGen Fundamental for grades 6-8 (Sunday 11:00-1:00 pm) These sessions will continue to run until December. You will have to register for each month separately. We will also offer private indoor lessons until Christmas to prepare for Club Season.
