Congratulations to the athletes selected to the 2020 Team Ontario Elite rosters! The Team Ontario Elite program aims to provide support to 17-18U athletes who demonstrate skills necessary to compete on a Youth or National team within 1-2 years. Our girls program is led by Head Coach John Nguyen (Ottawa Mavericks) and Amy Wilson-Hands (Pakmen). The boys program is led by Head Coach LP Mainville (OVA) and Danny Gosselin (Vision Volleyball Club).
This March break, our athletes will be travelling to Poland (boys) and France (girls) to experience top level competition for their age group at the international level. Follow along on @ova_connect for Team Ontario Elite updates in Poland and France!
