Learn to Play Volleyball (LTP)
Program Overview
Our Learn to Play Volleyball program is renowned throughout the Durham Region as THE program to teach young athletes how to play the game, the right way. By focusing on fundamental skill development, lots of meaningful touches, and increasing athletic confidence in a fun and supportive environment, our LTP participants can be assured they’re learning developmentally appropriate skills led by certified adult coaches.
Our training model focuses on skills and drills to ensure athletes get more ‘touches’ on the ball than they would during a league-play environment. Our Learn to Play Volleyball program operates in the fall (10 weeks) and winter (8 weeks).

Refunds
With the exception of medical reasons that must be supported by a medical note, program fees are non-refundable unless another participant can replace the withdrawn participant. If the program is cancelled or shortened due to government mandated shutdowns or facility closures with respect to COVID-19, a pro-rated refund will be issued for expenses not already incurred on behalf of the participant.
Athlete Placement
For safety and programming reasons, participants will only be able to register in the division assigned to their age and must be, at minimum, in grade 4. Athletes are NOT placed on teams for LTP but are grouped based on age/skill level – we kindly request you do not request your child be grouped with another participant as they will be assessed and grouped accordingly on their first night.
My child is taking part in the fall session, will they learn new skills in the winter session?
Yes, volleyball is a sport that depends on athletes getting the maximum number of meaningful touches in order to improve. For this reason, our focus continues to be on providing training environment vs a houseleague program; this helps to ensure all participants get the maximum number of touches each week while focusing on the fundamentals of passing, setting, attacking, blocking, serving, footwork, court awareness, and game knowledge.
