January Sessions (More info)
The Canadian Elite Academy will be seeking to hire a Head Volleyball Coach. The Current Owner and Founder will be stepping down in the role and will continue to coach but train a Head Coach to replace him. The Volleyball Academy in the 2020 year had 100 different sessions, and 23 of those sold out. There were 823 registrations during that period. The academy has continued to function with all the COVID restrictions and has followed all the provincial guidelines. The academy does not run teams. It only teaches skill development and allows the school and club to develop the teams.
The Head coach position is a coaching position and not an administration position. Darren Cannell will still run the backend of the academy but will not be coaching as much and is seeking a qualified head coach to step in and take over the role. The coaching happens on weeknights, weekends and school holidays.
A person will need to share their coaching and playing experience and be the frontman and face for the volleyball academy.
If you are interested in this part-time role, please contact the academy. The person will be selected for the role in the first few months of next year so they can have the opportunity to work with Darren and be ready for the position in September 2022

Mini Camp Sessions

 

Lots of mini Camps coming!

Making the Club Mini

This 4 hour is lots of touches letting players get ready for the club season.  Club practices are not allowed to start before November so this is the last chance before to put in some hours and prepare.
Be ready.  The club is happening and we are so excited.  Very limited spots to keep the ratio of coaches to athletes low.

Private lesson

Flexibility is how to describe private lessons.  For that busy athlete that cannot fix the traditional sessions into their schedule.  The athlete picks the day, time, the content and the coach they want to work with.  The private lessons allow a maximum of 4 athletes for the same price.  

The academy also does full club team sessions just contact us to set up private or team training.

During the last four years of running the Canadian Elite Academy, I have had the opportunity to work with 33 different coaches.  You could not ask for a more excellent opportunity to learn how to coach the sport. It is always a learning experience watching the creative, talented coaches we have in Saskatchewan.  For this, I am very thankful.
The sessions have ranged from private groups of 4 athletes to running sessions for club teams to scheduled sessions and camps.  I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with so many talented athletes. 
The academy has sparked my passion for coaching. I look forward to getting into the gym and offering sessions.  For this, I am thankful as well. 
Since 2019 when I introduced the present registration system, the academy has offered 256 different sessions, private lessons and camps.  75 of those were sold out. We had a total of 2062 registration during that time. 
The academy will be planning a change starting at the start of the next school year.  I will still be involved in the administration but will be developing a new academy in the art area.  I will be seeking someone to be the head coach or group of people who will continue with the same level of service that we have offered in the last 4 years.
If you are interested in applying for this position, please send me an email to start the discussion.

Last Minute session added!

 

We have added another session

Another last-minute session added.

The club tryouts are happening and these sessions will prepare athletes for the club season before the team practices begin at the end of the month. The session is spread over two days and is a total of 4 hours. Each participant is required to bring their own volleyball to the sessions. The sessions will run on Monday, October 25 night and Wednesday October 27 night from 7-9 pm
The goal of this session is to provide each participant with as many touches in four hours as possible. We will try to work through as many of the volleyball skills as is possible and fine-tune a few of them.
Hope to see you on the court soon.

I try to keep my notices down to once a week, but I added this session on such short notice because of the number of athletes are contacting me and asking for more sessions.  Sorry if it is starting to feel like I am spamming you!
