Beach Volleyball Camps

Weekly beach camps for athletes of all levels – from those learning the game to rep players training for the OVA Beach Tour. Morning sessions focus on expert volleyball instruction and gameplay, while afternoons feature a mix of volleyball and classic summer camp activities like swimming, paddleboarding, and beach frisbee.

$195–$410

Item #1

Beach volleyball is a fantastic way for athletes to build a complete, all-around skill set. With only two players on a court, athletes are involved in every rally and naturally develop all five fundamental volleyball skills — passing, setting, attacking, blocking, and defence. Many rep athletes choose to train on the beach throughout the summer to continue improving their ball control, court awareness, and overall game.

In all of our camps, athletes are grouped by similar experience levels to ensure that instruction, drills, and gameplay are appropriate for each group. This allows newer players to build confidence and learn the fundamentals, while more experienced athletes are challenged with higher-level training and game situations.

Morning sessions focus on expert volleyball instruction, while afternoon sessions combine volleyball with classic summer activities like swimming, paddleboarding and beach frisbee.

Competition Ready For athletes preparing for competition on the OVA Beach Tour, training groups will be organized to provide an optimal high-performance environment. Rep-level athletes are encouraged to register for the morning sessions.

Friend Requests Friend requests are welcome, and we will place requested friends in the same training group.

$350

Item #1

Our Boys Intermediate program is designed for athletes aged 11-13 and provides a training environment tailored specifically for boys. The program is well suited for athletes with some previous experience – whether through school teams, our League programs, or other recreational play – while remaining welcoming to motivated newcomers who are eager to learn.

Expert Led Program Developed by Aidan Haslett (Assistant Coach, University of Toronto Men’s Volleyball Team), each session reflects a club-style training approach while maintaining the positive and supportive atmosphere that Leaside programs are known for.

Athletes train as one group rather than on fixed teams, allowing them to work with a variety of teammates and experience a wider range of gameplay situations. This format encourages collaboration, creates a dynamic training environment, and helps athletes build both confidence and consistency on the court.

Each session features progressive, higher-level drills and skill development, along with gameplay components that allow athletes to apply new techniques and tactical concepts in real time. Our coaches use a tailored approach to ensure every athlete is appropriately supported and challenged.

Throughout the program, athletes continue to develop the five fundamental volleyball skills — passing, setting, attacking, blocking, and defence — with increased technical focus and more game-like progression. Ongoing instruction and feedback help athletes grow at their own pace while continuing to enjoy the training process.
