In this critical stage of development, physicality, skill execution and decision making will influence an athlete’s ability to train and compete. Through focused planning and implementation of our training/competition schedule our coaches strive to deliver a challenging program that will shape an athlete’s ongoing mental and physical development.
Focal points include physical literacy development, strength training, individual skill development, skill execution and team play consolidation. All of which are designed to construct an exciting competitive team. Our “Talons 18” team culture will continue to support our athletes’ commitment to achieving excellence and foster their passion for the sport of volleyball.
By stressing athlete-centred training, discipline, enjoyment, positive self-image and teamwork, our coaches are devoted to helping each athlete become a better competitor, a better teammate and a great student of the game!
Our Talons 18 “High Performance” Program continues to build a solid foundation for an athlete’s success now and 2 to 4 years down the road.
