Strength & Conditioning
Strength and conditioning is one of the most important—and often overlooked—areas of development for athletes in BC. At the post-secondary level, athleticism is one of the first things coaches evaluate when it comes to recruiting. In volleyball, the higher you can reach and the faster you can move, the more you separate yourself from the competition. Often times, just going to the gym or hiring a trainer isn’t enough—you need the right environment to build fundamentals and be pushed to improve every session.
Off-Season Training Options
Weight Room Programs
Our volleyball-specific strength & conditioning programs are designed for high school athletes looking to build strength, explosiveness, and power. These sessions follow a structured, progressive program to ensure consistent development and results. Athletes are coached on proper technique and pushed in an environment that prioritizes growth, performance, and long-term development.
Outdoor Athletic Training
Our outdoor training is built for club athletes of all ages. Middle school athletes develop movement fundamentals, athleticism, and work ethic, while high school athletes use it to complement their weight training during the offseason. These group-based, drop-in sessions are a flexible and cost-effective way to stay consistent, build fitness, and continue improving outside the gym.
Weight Room Training
The off-season is arguably the most important time of year for indoor athletes. While most shift their focus to beach volleyball, we believe that the spring and summer should be built around strength and performance training—unless your primary goal is to pursue beach volleyball at the post-secondary level.
This is when athletes make their biggest physical gains—improvements that translate directly onto the court. Speed, explosiveness, agility, and overall athleticism are developed now, not during the season.
Our program is designed to maximize that window. Athletes will train 3 times per week, following a structured plan focused on building strength, power, and movement efficiency.
Registration is available in monthly options, with a full three-month commitment strongly recommended for the best results.
The athletes who stand out in season are the ones who put in the work in the off-season.
