One Week Left!

 

One Week Left!

We are one week away from our May Shutdown at the Academy.  The idea behind the shutdown is to allow us to stay away during the Variants of Concern.  I do not like the fact that they are showing up in more and more young people.  During May we will allow private lessons only.  This will control the numbers, and I should run most of the private sessions as I do not want to expose our coaches until the vaccines start to help.



On the site, there will be a session called "Private Lesson."  This is where you would register an individual or group private lesson.
The cost for the session is $149 for an hour-long session.
The athlete who registers will be asked:  What is the date you would like to have the private lesson?
What is the skill that you would like to work on in your private lesson?
What are the names of the athletes attending?  (this is where you would put the other athletes' names coming to the private lesson.  (you can have up to four athletes for the same price.)
Is there a coach that you would like to work with? (Please choose me as I do not want to use any other coaches during May)
 
It is not possible currently for the athletes to pay separately.  The private session is for one athlete.  That athlete is the lead for the sessions and determines the date, time, skill and coach, and then that athlete can determine which other athletes can attend his/her session.  (up to 3 other athletes)  In the past, many groups of athletes have used private lessons to control the date, time, skill and coach for a session. This flexibility allows the group to pick the date and time that works the best for them and get to choose the coach.  The flexibility of the private lesson is good for some groups as the scheduled academy sessions are arranged by the Head Coach of the Academy.  Often groups of athletes may not be able to be in the same group or the dates and times of the academy sessions; as they do not work with other commitments; the skill they need work on is not being offered, or the coach is not the one they like to work with.  The private lessons flexibility allows the group to control all of those factors.



In June, we will start our beach volleyball training sessions.  The June – August sessions are mostly sold out.  The Advanced Beach 2's girls session is one of the four that still has space in it.   So if you are a grade 11-12 athlete or are entering your second year of beach training, this session could be for you and your partner.

In July, we have a shorter beach volleyball training session.  The July – August session waits until school is over and earlier in the day (2-4 pm).  We have two sections, one advanced and one introductory session. This will allow athletes who play other sports to try their hand at beach volleyball because it should not interfere with other sports practices and games.


We offer our first-ever Age 11-13 Outdoor Volleyball Camp on the beach courts on July 12-15; come check this one out.  The sand teaches proper footwork agility and technique as the elements mess with the volleyball.




We also have a Setter, Libero and Hitter camp happening on July 19-22.  Sign up for this indoor camp. It is an excellent positional training camp.  We have run it in the past, and it has been well attended and popular.



Our Premier Camps

Our premier camps are coming at the end of August; check them out.  Making the Cut Camps.  We have a large number of athletes who attend just these offerings at the Academy.  We have so much fun, and it prepares the athletes for their school tryouts.


The Artist Elite Academy will be posting live free art lessons on Facebook every Thursday at 6:00 pm.  If you have a tablet come to watch and I will show you how to draw digitally.

The Canadian Elite Academy Top 10

Why the Canadian Elite Academy has been the choice for over 1000 participants last year?

Flexibility

- only come to and pay only for the sessions you attend.

Coaching

- the academy seeks the best coaches in the sport who are best at coaching the skill being taught and the level of the participants.

Coaching Ratio

- The academy tries to keep the ration of 10 participants to 1 coach.

Cost

 - The academy attempts to keep the cost of the session as low as possible.

Team Building

- We do not build teams, we teach skills that can then be used on the participants' team of choice.

No Membership Fee

- If you attend one session or a hundred sessions you are an academy member.

Listen

- The academy listens to its members and is a community of participants.

Private Sessions

- as well as our group sessions we offer private sessions.  One coach and up to four participants, the session focus is determined by the participant.

Elite

- helps each participant to reach their elite level.  To allow them to be better tomorrow then they are today.

CEA Virtual Locker Room Volleyball 30 Day Home Work-out


The third course I am looking at Volleyball Elite Academy off-season daily work out.  Each day using Google classroom the interest participants will be able to access a virtual person workout created by me by pulling together exercises from awesome coaches all around the world.  The exercises will work on players' motivation, movement, skill training, strength and jump training drills.  These sessions will cost the participants 2 dollars a day and participants will be required to register for 30 days at a time.  The 30-day registration will allow the athlete to spread the daily exercises over 60 days if they only want to work out every second day.  This too will be announced and available by the end of the week.  You can pre-register for this course on the Canadian Elite Academy website.  The first 60 days cycle will begin when it is completed and ready to go.  The workout schedule will start on a certain day and will end 60 days after the start.  The price will not change so if you want the full 60 days register early.  The second cycle will start 30 days after the first cycle’s start date.  I know this sounds confusing but in the virtual world select release is always a workaround to make a program possible.
The internet is full of work out ideas for all different sports and the Canadian Elite Academy has sorted through the volleyball online solo training videos and has selected the best exercise drills available and compiled them into an online learning management system (google classroom). Darren Cannell is a Google certified instructor as well as a Microsoft innovative hero of education who will apply his experience and education to attempt to build a system which will virtually build a community of people and motivate them virtually to continue to work on their volleyball skills during the off-season and during times of isolation. These daily workouts should not be done on practice or game days, hence the reason why a 30-day session is spread out over the 60 days allowing the participants to decide when is the best day for them to work out. This being an information session without direct supervision from the Canadian Elite Academy staff means that the responsibility for participants to be able to work safely and successfully take their skills to the next level is theirs alone. The Canadian Elite Academy is offering the exercises but the participants must decide which is the best way for them to be safe but still motivate themselves.
 

The Virtual Locker Room Announces the Volleyball Serving Course

The Virtual Locker Room announced the Volleyball Serving course in the last newsletter, I was very excited but found out no one can register until it has been reviewed.  It still has not been reviewed but when it has we will attempt to offer it free for the Canadian Elite Academy past participants.  I am trying to be patient and will let you know when it is available for registration.
Below is the advertisement video for the course

Is the sport post-game handshake between teams become a thing of the past?



In 2019 the academy had 900 plus participants, for about the last three years at the end of each session the athletes have come by to shake the coach's hand and I began to fist bump then because there were so many of them.  Back when I was a teacher I was exposed to lots and lots of students but since my retirement, I have found that I am not exposed to as many people.  For this reason, I decided the fist bump was a good way to end the session and not lool anti-social, little did I know that I was years ahead on the coronavirus disease. 
Now, in a world where contact can be dangerous, maybe it is time that at the end of sporting events two teams need to do the hip hip hoorays and then fist bump rather than shaking hands.  For years the team water bottles have been a thing of the past and maybe the post-game handshake now is gone as well.

Loss of High School Sports. Now What?



Being an ex-teacher I wanted to let people know about the sanctions which were announced today by the Saskatchewan Teacher Federation.  The Saskatchewan teachers announce sanctions, withdrawing voluntary and extracurricular services. Until these sanctioned are removed it is my understanding that all sports in the school will be removed.  It is our hope at the Academy that the Government and the Teacher Federation quickly resolve this to allow the athletes the opportunity to resume their current sports seasons and allow for future seasons. The academy was concerned about its ability to rent the school's gym to continue to offer the skill development and was told that it was not a concern and the sports skills training will continue. 
The first response of the athletes who only see the loss of a season is anger and the desire to just quit and think it is a waste of time to continue to train with no foreseeable possibility of putting the skills to use in a game situation. The benefits that I got from playing Volleyball, Soccer and the other sports in my life have been health, self-confidence self-esteem and the ability to manage my anxiety and emotions.  It has taught me the value of teamwork, leadership, social skills and discipline which I have been able to successfully apply to many other aspects of my life.  The training allowed me to fight stress to improve my ability to think clearly and memory.  It was a career path that I followed as a physical education teacher, a coach and has allowed me to build the academy.  The greatest memory in sports for me was not an individual game or season but a time where I trained as hard an I could and made the sport the number one priority in my life and was able to see just how good I could become at something if I applied myself and earned the skills.  A memory which I have applied to many other aspects of my life because it is my firm belief that anything of value has to be earned not given and the harder it is to achieve the more valuable it becomes.  And last but not least sports allowed me to meet my wife and have given me a way to relate, interact and build a relationship with my son.
In fewer words, the benefits of sports go way beyond the immediate games which have now been removed from many high school sports athletes.  The challenge of training to make yourself better is never a waste of energy as I can now see with my hindsight of the years of training in which I grew as an athlete, a coach, and a person.  The loss of the ability to apply your skills as an athlete in the formal game situation due to the sanctions will be a greater issue if you allow this setback to impact more than just a few games.  Age has removed my ability to apply my sports skills at the level that I once could but I still benefit greatly from the years I dedicated to training and trying to make myself better.
Not to make light of the loss of the games or the games themselves but the value of sport is in the training for the games.  Making oneself better is an individual activity that has not been removed by the sanctions.  Train and train hard and when the games return you will be better equipped than you are now for sports and life.

Youth Volleyball Academy


Youth Elite Academy

If you know anyone who would benefit from learning Volleyball Skills from the Canadian Elite Academy and build your volleyball on a solid foundation of basic skills.  Get the skills right at the beginning rather than fixing them after you build a set of bad habits.

Multi-sport athletes



Volleyball players should start attending Basketball sessions and Vise versa.  When I have an athlete who shows up to both I know they will go far in whatever sport they decide to focus upon.  This is what I have found from multisport athletes in the academy
  • Soccer players…fast feet easy to teach defense, team play
  • Dancers…great body control, understand how to apply simple instructions like arch your back more
  • Gymnastics…know muscle memory and will work to make it happen,  strong and jump well, good at controlling their body in the air.
  • Baseball players…good eye-hand coordination, good arm swing for spiking and serving.
  • Tennis and Badminton players, great serving and spiking  technique, great serve reception movement
  • Basketball players …good fitness and jumping skills and distance perception
  • Video Gamers…good at strategy, fine motor skills, focus, concentration, and goal achievement.
  • Poker…postive mental attitude, emotional control, concentration, and focus
Good athletes (Elite Athletes) in any sport can transfer their mental sports ability to any sport to make them a fierce competitor based on their ability to make others around them better, their focus, competitive positive attitude and their ability to focus on skill development.  These are all skills we want to foster in our Canadian Elite Academy participants.

Social Media Marketing



The  Academy has begun the Social Media campaign and the first major step in this new venture was to establish the “Google My Business” page and one fo the steps was to ask for reviews.   These reviews greatly up the search level in google of the academy.  If you want to help the academy a brief review and rating would be a great step forward for us. (as I shamelessly ask for support)  You can do that by clicking the image or link below.

Most Common question



The Most Common Question

The most common question I get these days is how are the new academies doing.  So here is the update:
 
The Youth Volleyball Academy
  • Terry Graham is our head coach for this academy and he is doing a great job, his energy, humor and coaching approach is making the sessions well received and will make the academy a success.
  • It is slightly undersubscribed and we continue to seek new athletes.
  • The small numbers in the session make them very valuable and the athletes are learning a lot.
  • We are seeking elementary school athletes interested in developing their volleyball skills
The Artist Volleyball Academy
  • We have had one session so far and I again found the enjoyments I had when I taught high school art for nine years.  My wife asked me if I am running the Artist Elite Academy more for myself than for the participants, the jury is still out on this question.
  • The three artists that joined me in the first session created some excellent hummingbird and flower artwork and I look forward to reaching our maximum number of 10 artists per session in future sessions.
  • As these sessions are for all ages and I am excited to welcome some adults as well as a young artist to create a vibrant community that will create awesome digital artworks together.  If you are looking for three hours of stress relief from your adult life, think about attending one of these sessions, art skills not required.
  • Look for future posts of the artworks that were created in this new academy.
The Basketball Academy
  • The last basketball session was nearly full,  we are getting very close to the 10-1 ratio of athletes to coach.
  • The numbers continue to grow because of the caliber of coaches who are working with the academy.    Brad Schoenfeld, Donna-Marie Frassetto and Donnie Davidson have all offered sessions which have left me in awe of their coaching talent and have been huge learning opportunities for the participants.
  • The number of participants continues to grow in each session as the reputation of coaching excellence is being shared in the Basketball community.
  • Share the news, participant’s experience with the Basketball communities in Saskatoon.
The Volleyball Academy
  • Continues to be strong and sessions are close to filling even during the club season.
  • We have a great group of volleyball coaches and as my focus has been moved to the promotion of the new academies they have picked up the slack and for this I am grateful.
  • The private sessions are filling and I am truly enjoying watching the participants from these private sessions and the academy sessions using their skills on their club teams.
  • We have obtained new gym time at the Ecole Canadienne- Francaise School and have been able to increase the number of volleyball sessions hopefully allowing us to continue to offer the same level of volleyball skills training we have done in the past
  • Thank you for all the support that the guardians and participants have shown and continue to show to the Canadian Elite Academy as we grow.  (Continue to share the experiences to others about Academy as we attempt to continue our approach to taking participants skills to the next level)
