Two private lessons are Available Covid has stopped athletes from attending Monday, April 11th sessions, so we have a last-minute opening.  If you are looking for private here is an opportunity.    Reserve your spot Reserve your spot Reserve your spot Reserve your spot Reserve your spot I got the chance this weekend to watch a pile of athletes who have attended the academy showing their skills at a SaskCup. I am so proud of the volleyball community and the number of athletes with smiles. Volleyball is a game and should be fun, and this weekend, it was great to be one of the spectators who could watch the beautiful sport and incredible athletes. I am blessed to have had the opportunity to be part of athletes' volleyball journey. Thank you all for your interest in the academy, and keep smiling.

Showcasing New Sessions

New Sessions We are back with some new sessions.  We have added more private lessons, a two-day camp, April jump training, and then we move outdoors.  The outdoors includes lots of different levels 2's beach training, an Age 11-13 Volleyball Camp and the Premier Making the Cut Camps happen. Learn More I could write a long note about the different sessions coming up, but each activity is described on the website.  I will write a brief message about the many athletes who have contacted me needing more private lessons to focus their needs as all the ones we have offered have been sold out. It is a good problem for us, but it does mean I should enforce the need for people to register early to guarantee the sessions. Register
