Thunder Beach | High-Performance Training

To identify and train beach volleyball athletes who are looking to be exposed to a High-Performance Beach Volleyball training environment.  It is the intention of Thunder Beach to support athletes on their beach volleyball journey in the OVA and help them reach their goals.

Athletes training in this program will be introduced to the same High-Performance volleyball training concepts that are used by Team Ontario Beach.  This will include Technical Skills, Tactical Concepts, and Performance (ability to self-evaluate, create, and build a strong relationship with a partner, etc.) Should athletes have the intention of trying out for Team Ontario Beach in the future, this will support them in an easy transition.

RECOMMENDED

It is highly recommended that parents purchase the OVA Athletes Insights, Beach Curriculum program for their registered athlete. Athlete Insights is an online learning platform, whereby athletes can learn and progress through the content at their own pace. The training modules were developed by the Team Ontario Beach coaching staff and these are the concepts we will be training our athletes in for the Thunder Beach Program.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of our training program is to support athletes in creating a training environment that is fun, high energy and competitive. An environment that is free from punishment, consequences, fear and coercion.

Athletes will be encouraged to develop their ability to self-evaluate, to make mistakes, take risks and learn from them; we want them to explore, discover and learn. We will challenge athletes to continually and constantly improve the quality of their training.
