Help Us Build an Inclusive, Competitive, and High-Performance Training Environment

Ontario Volleyball is proud to announce open registration for the upcoming Team Ontario Sitting Volleyball Camp, a vital part of our commitment to growing the sport of sitting volleyball and fostering inclusive athletic development across the province.

Taking place at the Durham College, Oshawa ON, this high-performance camp is specifically designed for para-athletes aiming to develop the skills and training habits necessary to represent Ontario—and potentially Canada—on the international stage. However, we’re extending a unique invitation to able-bodied athletes to join the program and contribute meaningfully to a diverse and dynamic training environment.

Why We’re Welcoming Able-Bodied Athletes

In sitting volleyball, inclusivity is more than a value—it’s been a core part of our strategy. By integrating able-bodied athletes into training sessions, we enhance the quality of play, increase competition, and provide our targeted para-athletes with the best possible developmental environment.

Able-bodied athletes help push our para-athletes to greater heights, while also gaining valuable insight into adaptive sport, teamwork, and advanced volleyball fundamentals. The result? A better, stronger, more competitive Team Ontario.

Who Should Attend?

  • Para-athletes (amputees, individuals with mobility impairments, limb differences, etc.) with competitive volleyball experience or strong athletic potential.
  • Able-bodied athletes with volleyball experience who are curious about new challenges, looking to stay sharp in the off-season, or interested in giving back through inclusive sport.

This camp is an excellent opportunity for

  • University and college athletes
  • Indoor or beach players in the off-season
  • Coaches or aspiring coaches
  • Players passionate about community, competition, and the future of volleyball
