WHY TRAIN

Volleyball has grown to become one of the largest participation sports in Canada! With that comes an increase in the quality of play and the competitiveness to do the best, become the best, and be the best! The forces a volleyball player's body has to endure when jumping, spiking, serving, or reacting on defense not only takes it's toll on various structures of the body creating a risk for injury but it also requires exceptionally specific and in depth training to maximize performance and keep healthy athletes on the court.  Training for volleyball is a science that requires an early adaptation to training, muscle growth, strength development, power production, speed, quickness, and agility, as well as core strength/stability, and postural control, balance, and proprioception.  It's an extremely dynamic sport and it, without question, requires off-court training to become the best athlete and player possible.

   Develop the tools you need to excel at all areas of the game including jumping higher, hitting harder, blocking stronger, reacting and moving quicker, getting behind balls, passing more balanced, pushing out sets, and serving harder.  Leave no stone unturned.
