Beach Volleyball Development Centre

This is a Competitive Beach Volleyball Program which offers a similar model to the indoor CTC. The BVDC provides intense training which includes a weekly practice (Sunday afternoon/evening) and a league night (Wednesdays) in partnership with MaxVolley. Athletes are encouraged to sign up as a team (pairs). Any athlete who registers as an individual, we will be assigned a partner on the program’s first session (May 22).

During practice nights, teams focus on developing skills, strategies and tactics that they can implement on competition night. The training portion of the BVDC is lead by experienced beach coaches. However, as is traditional in beach volleyball, during competition, athletes are challenged to coach themselves and their teammates. Participation in OVA Beach tour events is encouraged but not required. The league portion, hosted by MaxVolley, includes 2 weeks of playoffs, leading to a League Champion being crowned.

Times & Locations:

Practice nights are Sundays (2-4pm) at the MaxVolley Bell SensPlex in Kanata or MaxVolley Richcraft SensPlex in Beacon Hill based on preference.

Competition days are Wednesdays (6:30-8:30pm) at both MaxVolley locations.

• Program duration: 8 league nights plus 2 weeks of playoffs. Up to 9 Practice nights.
• Ages: 13-16
• No Tryouts, self-identify skill level
• Register with a partner (or Mavs will assign)
• Maverick athletes will be rostered in TeamSnap for communications and scheduling.

The BV Development Centre is for: Athletes aged 13-16 who are interested in training and competing at a competitive level in beach volleyball. It is a self-identified program aimed towards competitive and high-performance athletes.
