Summer Beach stuff

 Warm welcome

It’s that time of year again — beach season is underway and we’re excited to reconnect with our community. Thank you for being part of our community of 456 members. We’ve planned a full slate of summer opportunities and wanted to make sure you have what you need to prepare.

Making the Cut camps: what to expect

Our annual Making the Cut camps return with focused skill development, competitive drills, and guided match play to help athletes sharpen technique and decision-making in a beach environment. Camps are a great way for athletes to build confidence ahead of the school season and to be evaluated for Academy programming.

Beach opportunities and Beach 2's Training Program

We will once again offer our Beach 2's Training Program, designed for athletes preparing for tournament and provincial-level competition. This program emphasizes partnership-based skills, tactical decision-making, and conditioning specific to beach volleyball. Our Head Beach Coach, a former Beach National Champion, brings a results-based approach to development that has helped athletes progress to provincial and professional levels. Expect structured sessions, video feedback, and pairing strategies that accelerate on-court results.

Three-day Mini Camp

New this summer is our Three-day Mini Camp, a concentrated short-format experience ideal for athletes who want focused instruction without committing to a full week. The mini camp will feature technique breakdowns, small-group drills, hands-on coaching, and coached games to apply skills in match situations. It’s perfect for athletes who are transitioning into the summer competitive season or seeking extra touches before tournaments.

Important eligibility note for Families

A quick reminder for Parents/Guardians and athletes: if you will be attending high school during the 2025–2026 school year, you are still eligible to participate in Academy events throughout the summer of 2026.
