Beach volleyball season is officially over for another year! Thank you to everyone who participated and for sharing your feedback. I understand how disappointing it was to have the tournament cancelled and schedules adjusted. This summer’s program included: 36 hours of training A volleyball & shirt Extra make-up sessions While the actual cost per athlete was close to $1,000 (not including coaching salaries), we kept fees much lower so more families could participate. When only 7 athletes confirmed for the tournament, we had to cancel to avoid a low-quality event. We chose not to remove any extras or raise fees, even though it meant taking a loss. Your understanding is appreciated, and we are committed to making next summer’s program smoother and stronger.

Canadian Elite Volleyball Academy – Summer Update!

 

Canadian Elite Volleyball Academy – Summer Update! The sunshine is out and the volleyballs are flying—it’s time to get sandy! We’re in the middle of a packed, high-energy summer filled with beach sessions, open games, private training, and our signature Making the Cut Camps. Whether you're preparing for school tryouts or just want to have fun in the sun, there’s something for every athlete. Let’s dive in!

Open Beach & Indoor Volleyball Sessions Bring your friends, your energy, and your love for the game—we’ve got four beach volleyball sessions that let you enjoy the sand, music, and sun all in one place. Choose single sessions, multi-session bundles, or grab all four. On top of that, we’re offering Friday night indoor open court time at Henk Reys Soccer Center—no set drills or teams, just pure game time. It’s a great way to get touches, meet new players, and stay sharp before school tryouts kick off.  Session Name to Register: “Open Beach and Indoor Volleyball Games”  Just sign up, show up, and play—it’s that simple. Register  Private Lessons – Summer Edition We’re now offering summer private lessons outdoors on either beach or grass courts. Sessions are 90 minutes (for the same price as our usual indoor one-hour training). You can split the cost with friends or book solo—the price is the same either way. Here’s how it works: Gather your group (1 to 6 athletes). Choose a time on the registration site (they fill fast!). Pick your coach and training focus. We’ll do our best to match it. These lessons are flexible, effective, and a perfect way to get the specific coaching you need to grow your game. Register  Royalty of the Beach Tournament Join us for the biggest beach volleyball showdown of the summer! The Royalty of the Beach Tournament will determine who earns the 2025 titles of Queen and King of the Beach. It’s a three-day individual-entry event with both girls’ and boys’ divisions. Already, 54 players from our Beach 2 program are registered. If you’re not in that group yet, here’s your chance to compete, level up, and have a blast! This isn’t just another tournament—it’s a title you’ll want on your volleyball resume. Don’t miss it. Register  Making the Cut Camps The camps that set athletes apart are almost sold out! Our Making the Cut Camps are your best opportunity to get ahead of the competition before school volleyball returns. Here’s the breakdown: Elementary School Girls Camp: Ideal for girls entering Grade 7 or 8 Junior High School Girls Camp: SOLD OUT Senior High School Girls Camp: For Grades 10–12 Boys Only Camp: For junior and senior high athletes Elite 2 Camp: Advanced junior high athletes Elite 1 Camp: Top-tier high school athletes Spots are vanishing fast. If you want to sharpen your skills, stand out at tryouts, and play with the best—this is where it starts. Register  Summer League + What’s Next The Summer League is underway—shout out to the Off-Season Training crew and all the new July athletes grinding four days a week! Keep at it; the benefits are already showing. We’re also building toward two more leagues: School Season League – For athletes not making their school teams Club Season League – For athletes not selected to club teams We want everyone to have the chance to train, improve, and stay in the game year-round. Register  Spread the Word Every session and event you attend builds your game. But even more, it builds a volleyball community. Help us grow by sharing these opportunities with teammates, friends, and other families. Let’s make this a summer to remember.
