Merry Christmas to you all, and Happy New Year. Thank you for being a part of the rapidly growing Canadian Elite Academy.

Christmas and 2023 Volleyball goals

 

Christmas and 2023 Goals

What are your volleyball goals for 2023? There are a couple more weeks of volleyball before we shut down for the Christmas holidays. The break goes until January 10th.  On January 10th, we're offering a whole new batch of sessions. Those sessions from January to March are now within the registration system, so you can take a look and register for the sessions that would be valuable in meeting your volleyball goals. In 2023 you should have decided what your volleyball goals will be. Then decide on the plan to achieve these goals. The academy sessions can provide some of the activities in your plan. An essential factor in achieving your goals is ensuring you touch the volleyball often when you are not in front of a coach or with your team.  It is always lovely to be at an activity where you surround yourself with athletes of the same skill, gender and age. I've talked to some parents who are always concerned about the player level at any given session. Any sessions we offer at the academy can be of value to a player. Every time a player touches the ball, if they do it with intent and purpose, no matter the drill, coach or surrounding player's gender, age or skill level, it will be of value. This approach to practicing will separate the players who will go on to play at a high level from those who will be like all the other volleyball players. Some athletes are born gifted physically and can achieve a lot. Some people are not and then have to work harder to achieve the same level. Do not ever compare yourself to those around you. Compete against yourself. Be better tomorrow than you are today. Choose the sessions you attend to achieve this, and we will see you on the court in 2023.    Register December Sessions Session    NexGen FUNdamental Development Grades 4-8 (December)     Start Date
