Our high performance training for aspiring athletes, explained.
TRAINING PATHWAY
Athlete Advancement & Training Pathway
Placement within our pathway begins with our application process, as all athletes must be evaluated prior to entering our training. Aspiring Athlete is a holistic high-performance development program for youth athletes in BC who aspire to compete at the post-secondary level. Our training is intentional and standards-based, designed to bridge the gap between club volleyball and the physical, technical, and mental expectations of university athletics. Through small-group sessions led by our national-level coaching staff, we integrate skill development, strength and conditioning, and game IQ to build strong foundations and prepare athletes for the next level.
Athletes are placed based on ability, performance history, and alignment with our core values — Work Ethic, Skill, Size, Discipline, and IQ — not simply graduation year or school team designation. Our Junior, JV, and Varsity groups reflect developmental readiness and long-term growth. Advancement is earned through consistent performance and character, and when an athlete is ready to progress, our staff will communicate directly.
BY APPLICATION:
ALL CAMPS
Our camps are open to all club athletes, with limited spots per position and acceptance by application. Led by our national-level coaches, we offer Reps Over Rest Camps (Spring, Summer, Winter) and PREP Camps designed to support in-season development and prepare athletes for school, club, and Team BC tryouts. Athletes who have been invited to or participated in our Tailored Training Programs may register directly, while all others are required to apply and receive acceptance prior to registering.
PROSPECT PROGRAM
The Prospect Program is our entry point for athletes in Grades 7–10 who aspire to play competitive volleyball, and its primary focus is on developing strong fundamentals — an area that is often overlooked in BC. Led by our trained Aspiring Athlete coaches, this program is offered year round to build technical skills, tactical understanding, and overall game IQ through purposeful training and competitive play. Athletes will learn every skill, play all positions, and be guided with high expectations, discipline, and the consistent reinforcement of good habits to ensure they are prepared for success in our more advanced programs and beyond!
PROGRAMS BY INVITATION:
JUNIOR - TAILORED TRAINING PROGRAM
The Junior Tailored Training Program is for athletes identified at the early stages of their high-performance journey. Led by our National Level coaching staff, this program emphasizes the development of strong habits, discipline, and decision-making by combining technical skill work with a heavy focus on situational play. Athletes are challenged to apply what they learn in real game-like scenarios, helping them build a deeper game IQ and preparing them for the demands of higher levels of play. Training is intentionally designed to complement both school and club seasons, with careful monitoring of jump volume and overall workload to ensure athletes can push themselves without being overtrained. The goal of this program is to support long-term growth by instilling habits, confidence, and resilience that will serve athletes throughout their high-performance pathway.
JUNIOR VARSITY - TAILORED TRAINING PROGRAM
The Junior Varsity Tailored Training Program is the next step for athletes who have already established strong fundamentals and are ready to train with more intensity. Sessions are built around advancing technical execution, refining decision-making under pressure, and learning to compete with consistency. Athletes are expected to embrace accountability, higher standards, and more competitive environments as they transition into stronger levels of play. With our National Level coaching staff guiding their development, training continues to complement school and club commitments, but demands increase as athletes adapt to heavier workloads and stronger competition. This stage of the pathway pushes athletes to elevate their habits, resilience, and game IQ to meet the expectations of post secondary programs.
VARSITY - TAILORED TRAINING PROGRAM
The Varsity Tailored Training Program represents the highest level of training in our pathway, designed for advanced athletes who are either committed a university to or are serious about competing at the post-secondary. Training is intense, fast-paced, and rooted in the same philosophy of developing strong habits, discipline, and game IQ — but with sharper expectations and higher accountability. Athletes are pushed to perform in competitive, high-pressure scenarios while also taking ownership of their development as leaders on and off the court. Workload is carefully monitored to ensure athletes can maximize their training while balancing their club and school seasons. This program is designed to prepare athletes to stand out in their graduating class, equipping them with the skills, confidence, and mindset required to succeed at the next level.
