The Ontario Volleyball Association (OVA) is committed to providing athletes and coaches with quality development opportunities through the Team Ontario programs. The Team Ontario Academy (TOA) online program will be back in 2021 to make sure athletes and coaches still have a chance to stay connected to both the indoor and beach Team Ontario high performance pathways during the pandemic.

The OVA is looking for coaches interested in professional development to be part of the 2021 edition of the Team Ontario Academy. Participation in this program is the first step towards accessing coaching opportunities further up in the Team Ontario coaching pathway. The selected coaches will be mentored and supported through the program.

The coach development priorities are to:

• Develop inquiry-based coaching skills
• Develop and apply leadership skills in a provincial level program
• Understand the beach and indoor Team Ontario principles of play
• Become familiar with the Team Ontario culture, mission and values

The Team Ontario Academy is an integrated program combining both indoor and beach volleyball. As part of the program, coaches will be responsible for delivering sessions to athletes in both disciplines. Coaching experience in both disciplines is not required. Coaches will be supported by experienced Team Ontario coaches from both the indoor and beach streams.

Apply before May 12th by completing the Application Form and sending in the required documents.
