Elite Basketball Academy

Basketball Elite Academy will be starting in January...we will start to announce the sessions list in mid-December.  As soon as you have our gyms rental done we will announce the sessions so stay tuned.

Between now and Christmas

We have all sorts of sessions between now and the Christmas tourney so don't forget to register early for them as they are selling out.

For those of you that missed that we have Two nights of Serving, Serve Reception and Defense, Hitting Harder, Setters and Hitters, Liberos and Serve and a bunch of private lessons.  Don't miss out I felt bad that we had to refuse 13 interested athletes at the Week of Volleyball Skills, so if you are thinking about attending don't wait too long as the sessions since September have all sold out.

A Volley Jolly Session

This two days tournament will run on Monday and Tuesday, December 16 and 17th 2019. The tournament will start at 7-10 pm. The tournament format will be based on the number of registered teams to make sure each team gets as many games as possible.  The 4’s tourney is a mixed tournament, you are allowed one male on each team but it is not mandatory. It can be an all-girls team. The net height will be between the High School senior girls and senior boys’ height. The draw will be designed as a round-robin or pools or double knockout format depending on the number of registered teams. The Sylvia Fedoruk gym. St Nicholas gym and the commons area court will all be used at this tourney. We could have as many as five courts for this session.  Family teams are welcome, all-girls teams, teams with one boy and three girls.  If we have enough teams to run different tiers based on age we will do so but if we do not have enough teams we will run everyone against everyone.  Being the first time this type of tournament has been run, we are still working on the design.  I think it would be fun to include a Christmas treat eating event at the end of the tournament and maybe even a volleyball gift exchange.  But we can set all that up at the beginning of the tournament.

A solution to the expensive volleyball problem.

A solution to the expensive volleyball problem.

For those of you that do not know Volleyball Canada this year has signed a contract to make Mikasa the volleyball to be used at Nationals.  This is a change from the Tachikara balls that were used for each of the age groups in the past.  The problem with these changes is most clubs have to replace the Tachikara balls they used so their teams going to Nationals would have the balls which they were going to use at the competition.  Understanding this situation the academy has approached the JCVC Volleyball Club and has offered to sell their used Tachikara volleyballs for them. (An idea to help all academy participants the chance to get a quality volleyball for cheap)  Everyone has to understand these balls are lightly used as they were not the normal ball the club used as it differed from the ball used for the SaskVolleyball competitions, so the Tachikara balls were only used at the very end of the club teams seasons for a couple of weeks.  The deal we have made is that we can offer the used balls for resale of 35 dollars.  We have 68 of these balls and they will be first come first serve, I will put them in my Van and you can pick the one you want after you have paid for it at our store.  (This is the academy’s idea of Black Friday sale, I am not even sure which Friday is Black Friday…but oh well) 

I will be purchasing 20 of them for academy use.  Not for sessions, the athletes still need to bring a ball to each session they attend and this is a cheaper solution than the normal 100 price tag attached to new quality volleyballs, so get yours as soon as possible as at this price they will not last long.
