Happy Easter Everyone

 

Exciting Growth and Updates at Canadian Elite Academy!

We hope this newsletter finds you well and filled with anticipation for the upcoming sports season! We are thrilled to share some exciting updates and developments from the Canadian Elite Academy.

Remarkable Growth Since February 2019:

Since February 2019, the Canadian Elite Academy has experienced phenomenal growth. From a humble beginning with 254 subscribers to our newsletter, we have now expanded our community to an impressive 1191 subscribers! This growth is a testament to the dedication and passion of our athletes, families, and coaching staff.

Sold Out Sessions:

We are delighted to announce that several of our sessions have already sold out, some of which are not scheduled until the end of August! This overwhelming response showcases the high demand for our programs and the exceptional talent of our coaching staff.

  • April Sessions: With 22 sessions scheduled for April, only five still have space available, and those are filling up quickly. If you're interested in participating, we encourage you to secure your spot as soon as possible to avoid missing out on your preferred sessions.
  • Beach Training Sessions: Our six beach training sessions running in June and July are also experiencing high demand, with one session already sold out and others filling up rapidly.
  • Making the Cut Camps: Two out of the six Making the Cut Camps at the end of August have already sold out. Don't miss your chance to secure your spot in the remaining camps!

Flexible Options for Players:

For players who may have missed out on their preferred sessions, we offer the option to register for sessions of the opposite gender. Girls are welcome to participate in boys' sessions, with the possibility of transitioning to girls' sessions if additional gym time becomes available. Historically, many of our sessions have included both boys and girls, fostering an inclusive and competitive environment for all athletes.

Private Sessions and Leagues:

All private sessions are currently sold out, but rest assured, we are actively seeking additional gym time to accommodate more sessions.

Additionally, we are excited to announce the launch of our leagues in June and July, with boys' leagues scheduled for Thursday nights and girls' leagues on Friday nights. Get into this league right away, it is a chance to play the game.   No coaching, just playing.

Outdoor Jump Training:

We are thrilled to inform you that we are in the final stages of finalizing our outdoor jump training program. This exciting addition will provide athletes with new opportunities to enhance their skills and performance in a dynamic outdoor setting.

Private Lessons

 

Exciting Private Lesson Opportunities with Our Star Coaches!

I trust this message finds you well. As we gear up for the months of January, February, and March, we are thrilled to present exciting opportunities for private lessons with our top-notch coaches at the academy.

Private Lesson Schedule: Given the historical trend of a relatively slow period in athlete training during the first quarter, coupled with the introduction of the new Academy League, we have adapted our private lesson schedule to accommodate the busy volleyball and life schedules of our athletes. Notably, private lessons can now cater to one to six athletes at the same price. The responsibility of combining athletes for a private session lies with the registering athlete.

Private Lessons for Individuals (One to Six Athletes):

  • Register on the website for available gyms, dates, and times.

Private Team Lessons:

  • Option 1: Utilize the gym and time already specified on the schedule (book into our time and gym).
  • Option 2: Arrange private team lessons during the team's regular practice at their own gym and time. (Email us to set this up)

The most exciting aspect of this newsletter is the incredible lineup of coaches who have generously offered their time for private lessons. We are proud to introduce:
