At this stage of development, physical and social maturation levels play a critical part in an athlete’s ability to train and compete. Through focused planning and implementation of our training/competition schedule our coaches will strive to deliver a program that accommodates the physical and mental development that will occur during this important time.

Focal points include physical literacy development, individual skill development, skill execution, and, team play consolidation. All of which are designed to construct an exciting competitive team. Our Talons 17U team culture will continue to develop and support our athletes’ attitude and commitment to achieving excellence, and, help foster their passion and love 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!

The reality is that our Talons “High Performance” Program continues to build a critical foundation for an athlete’s success in 2 to 4 years down the road.
