I have never seen this before.


Practice


I think it says it all.

Want to Paint the Van


I want to paint my van looking for a talent airbrush or wrap auto painting center willing to collaborate on the project.
The Canadian Elite Academy (which is a training center for high school athletes) is seeking an autobody center who is willing to accept the challenge of designing a one of a kind Ford Transit Van which will be an eye-catching driving piece of art which announces the mandate of the academy. I currently have stickers on it but I would like to go to airbrush instead. I do not want to dictate what the design should be, I want to work with an autobody artist who is talented and willing to coop on design and create something truly unique. After saying all of this I am not sure what it would cost and how much it would cost me to have it done? Basically, this is an exploratory email to see if there is any willingness out there in the facebook world of an autobody will to explore this idea. It might be way past my cost ability or no airbrush or wrap artists who have auto work experience and willing to tackle the partnership challenge. Currently, the academy is into Volleyball, Basketball, and Soccer but will be expanding.

New Coach: Adam Ewart


Introducing a New coach to the Academy.
Adam Ewart
Adam was a setter that played high school, club, and provincial team. He left the province and played on various Military teams while in the Canadian Navy. He played one year of college before moving back to Saskatchewan.
He has spent the past 26 years coaching at various levels in the province. Highlights include: spending 8 seasons as an assistant coach with the U of S Huskie Men’s Volleyball team capturing a bronze and silver medal at the U Sport National Championships, 2004 NTCC gold medal with Team Sask , 2012-2015 Chaos Volleyball Club 4x Provincial Champions, 2015 SHSAA 5A High School Boys Silver Medalists, and most recently 2019 U14 Boys Div. 1 Tier 2 Western Canadian champs.

The first session Coach Adam will be offering is the two days of Serving on November 25 and 26th.  The unfortunate thing is that this session is also sold out, however, it does not have a waitlist as of yet.

A wild week at the academy.

Wild time this week we have five private lessons and four days of sessions and a pickup game on Friday.
The week of volleyball skill session is new this year designed for older athletes and is four days of two-hour sessions. 
It starts with coach David Chuong doing Defense and Freeball on Monday
Then coach Darren Cannell doing transition, hitting and blocking on Tuesday 
Wednesday has coach Michele McKeown doing Serving and Serve Reception
Thursday is coach Toako Chie Imamura focussing on Setting and Hitting
The Friday winding up with a pickup informal gameplay night.

It was well-received and sold out quickly, which is awesome but it also has a waitlist of 14 athletes and with cancelations, there will be 11 athletes who will not be able to attend.
This just reinforces the need for athletes to register early to avoid the disappointment of missing out on a session.

Fantasy Future

Wow, would it be cool for a session on the beach in Mexico?  Answer no way it would be hot...lol.
