Volleyball Program

Program description:

Every year Colleges and Universities are scouring B.C. programs for volleyball players, offering athletic scholarships and the training that can sometimes take an athlete to the professional and National level. There are thousands of dollars of scholarships available every year at varying levels of play, from University to College divisions in both the US and Canada. In addition to the the financial advantage, team sports are a great way to become integrated into College or University life.

The Fernie Academy volleyball program is designed based on the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) concept and Volleyball Canada’s Development Model (VCDM).   This means that all students are involved in age appropriate volleyball games and practices throughout Jr. High and High School.  We will work with each athlete individually, and for those interested, help find post secondary opportunities and scholarships.

The Academy offers team practices and tournament play from Grade 6-12 for both boys and girls. Practices are set for the respective teams twice a week with plenty of flexibilty for students playing other sports and those committed to other after school initiatives.

The school season runs from September through November, with club season running from January until the end of April.
