CLUB ATHLETE COMBINES
We are looking to expand our Spike Touch Canadian Selects program to the boys side. After getting the chance to see the tournament and level of play this summer, We are convinced this will be a uniquely competitive opportunity for a group (or two) of young male athletes.
We will continue to run our Spike Touch Canadian Selects Teams for the summer for U17 and under category and the U19 and under categories for girls. We would also like to run U17 and U19 teams for boys as well, if there is interest. These teams will, once again, participate in the USA Volleyball All-Star Championships to compete against regional All-Star teams from across the US and the Caribbean.
Here is an outline of the prospective athletes summer program:
- We will select two teams of 12 athletes, and three alternates to compete at either the U17 or U19 level.
- The selected athletes will meet at (Womens teams at Trinity Western, Mens- TBC) to train, then travel to compete in the Volleyball USA All-Star Championship.
- During training period, teams will train together, either by position or as a full group, with an individual team component session training added in.
- We will focus on skill development, game management, match preparation and high level, multi-skill game play drills while still ensuring we develop athlete fundamentals.
- Athletes will stay and eat together on the college/ university campus with multiple training sessions each day.
- There will also be team building activities, training with guest high-performance coaches, and information sessions on post-secondary volleyball, game planning, mental preparation, and physical training and international volleyball.
- Players will be provided with a branded clothing package including jerseys
- This program is not designed to compete with or replace your provinces Provincial Team programs. It is simply an opportunity for more athletes to compete and train at an elite level, get exposure to different coaches, and international competition.
We will be selecting athletes from across the country from all our events (showcases, tournaments, etc.).
Athletes can register for the combine as follows:
1. Email info@SpikeTouch.com with their name, DOB, position, and Club
