We strive to offer a variety of opportunities for youth to play and develop skills and a positive attitude toward sport at a time when many become less active. Our target audience are 7-18 year old, boys and girls.

 

Our philosophy is that everyone deserves to play at a level that is developmentally appropriate. At the lower age level, we offer a mini and an atomic volleyball program where we help children development fundamental movement skills.

 

We hold “Team Placement” sessions rather than try-outs, where no one is “cut." All players are offered placement, whether it be on a tier one or two tournament team, or in the skill building “house” league.

 

Our coaches model the principles of fair play and we teach our participants that every member of the team is valued. We encourage our senior athletes to mentor the younger ones as player coaches under the supervision of the adult coaches. We believe this provides important educational leadership skills to the senior players and encourages the younger ones to continue to play and improve.

​

The Club is Responsible for:

• Providing a safe, healthy and positive sport environment for youth participants;

This club is founded on the belief that players will best be served by immersing them into an environment that cultivates a long-term love of the game. Healthy competition is good – however this club does not believe in winning at all costs and will make a strong effort to include all. While winning is evidently a primary objective, this club is dedicated foremost to ensuring that all involved have an open mind that participation, development, improvement, sportsmanship, and respect ultimately provides the majority of players enjoyment, as well as club growth and success.

​

Key Concepts Reinforced:

Safety – player safety and concern above all

Respect – valuing teammates, coaches, opponents and officials through healthy competition

Teamwork - working with teammates to achieve greatness

Fun - enjoy, and foster a love of the game

Focus & dedication - necessary for improvement and success – each individual gives the best

Positive attitude and environment – positivity trumps negativity

Fair play – everyone is a key component to the success of the team 

 

Parents Responsibilities:

An open and responsive governing structure is proposed in order to allow parents to address any concerns and/or questions they may have. Parents will have the opportunity to communicate with their Team Manager, Coach and/or Board of Directors as their roles and responsibilities will be clearly identified.

These channels of communication are proposed to ensure that all issues and questions are addressed appropriately in a timely manner.

 

We ask that parents set a great example by following the club's philosophy during club activities. Parents are encouraged to support their children in a positive and appropriate manner - Parents are asked not to get too emotionally involved or tied to: winning or losing, playing time, coaching decisions and actions taken by opponents and officials
