The London Sharks’ presence in Ontario is growing stronger. Starting the season, the 15U Girls Great Whites and the 14U Girls Great Whites solidified their positions as the strongest teams in their own divisions in the city by winning Silver and Bronze, respectively, in the Ontario Cup tournament.
The 13U Girls, meanwhile, in their first time participating officially in a tournament with the Ontario Volleyball Association, also acquired a silver medal. We are envisioning a great future for this young group of girls, made up mostly of new players, graduates from the developmental programs and a couple of reinforcements from the 12U division.
The success achieved by Sharks Volleyball clubs is founded on the structured Developmental Programs that are offered — starting with the Little Sharks program for kids aged 5 to 9 years old, and then the Junior Academy program for kids 10 to 12 years old, where the athletes are exposed to stages 2 and 3 of the LTAD (Long-Term Athlete Development) model, as part of Canadian Sports for Life (CS4L). Athletes 13 to 18 years old will be exposed to stages 4 and 5 of the LTAD model through the London Youth City League and the Competitive teams, ensuring a true Long-Term Athlete Development model. Our sole purpose is to offer an opportunity for everybody to experience the game of Volleyball and participate successfully at any level: recreational, developmental or competitive.
Join the London Youth City League
London Sharks Volleyball is proud to offer the Youth City League, which is perfect for 12 to 16-year-old boys and girls interested in learning the game, improving their skills and having a lot of fun. This program runs two times a week (one day of practice and one day of matches against two teams in the same division).
- 16U Girls & 16U Boys (Born 2001-2003). Practices are on Tuesdays, and matches are on Thursdays. The program runs from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm.
The cost is only $125 for the 10 week-session, and each player gets a team jersey.
Last session we had six teams participating. We are expecting to grow to 10 teams for Session II (January 10, 2017 to March 12, 2017). Late registrations are accepted.
