Where does this pathway lead?
New Year:
Ascension plans to begin forming its first competitive teams.
Athletes who develop through Prep for Rep may have the opportunity to continue with Ascension through team training, uniforms and competitive game play.
Future team opportunities will depend on athlete development, commitment and appropriate team numbers.
Our goal is simple: develop athletes first, then build teams from that foundation.

6 week program - $180
This program is for high-school athletes who want more volleyball training prior to (and following) their school seasons.
Whether your athlete is preparing for school tryouts, has made their school team, or wants to play at a higher level, these sessions provide consistent time on the court to develop their game.
No Tryouts — Just Training
There are no tryouts for this program.
Athletes can join to train, improve and get more quality repetitions during the school volleyball season.
Athletes will work on:
-
Serving, passing, setting and attacking
-
Technical skills and consistency
-
Position-specific skills
-
Movement and athletic development
-
Court awareness and decision-making
-
Game-based training
-
Confidence and communication
Why additional training?
School volleyball seasons move quickly. There is limited practice time to work on individual skills and develop specific areas of an athlete's game. These sessions give athletes more quality repetitions and focused coaching while they continue with their school season.
A good fit for athletes who:
-
Play or are preparing to play high-school volleyball
-
Want additional training
-
Want to sharpen their skills during the season
-
Are working toward higher-level volleyball
-
Want to prepare for regional and OFSAA-level competition
A shorter commitment.
The Senior Prep for Rep / OFSAA program runs for 6 weeks and is designed to fit around the high-school volleyball season.
It gives athletes additional training without adding another full-length program to an already busy fall schedule.
Train more. Get better. Keep progressing.
More information about future Ascension competitive opportunities will be shared as the club continues to grow.
