VC Combine: (Various Dates)

The Volleyball Canada (VC) Combine, presented by PUSH, provides a high-performance testing experience for volleyball athletes in Canada. This new event offers an opportunity for athletes across the country to complete the same tests that our National Team athletes complete.

The VC Combine will provide athletes with a chance to see how they compare to their peers and to those at the national team level. In addition to providing athletes with performance statistics, a Canadian database will be established to monitor and track the evolution of athletes throughout their volleyball careers.

Nutrition Month Focus Session

Nutrition Month Focus Session – Nutrition for Youth Athletes

Volleyball Canada is featuring sport nutritionist Erik Sesbreno in two, new information sessions in March 2023 - Canada’s Nutrition Month! 

Erik has been a full-time sport dietitian in the Canadian Sport Institute network servicing multiple senior (Canadian) national sport programs for major international competitions for the past seven years.  He works with targeted international level athletes and coaches to develop and deliver world-class nutrition support in the daily training environment and design evidence-based nutrition plans focused on the needs of the sport and the athlete. He is currently the nutrition lead at l’Institut National du Sport du Québec in Montreal and nutrition lead for Volleyball Canada’s men’s indoor team. Recently, his doctoral research has led to exploring the risk of low energy availability/relative energy efficiency in sports in elite male indoor volleyball athletes and its consequences on health and performance outcomes.

Although the research is focused on male players, all athletes, parents, coaches and support staff would benefit from the topics covered in these hour-long sessions on March 7 and 28.

Session 1 – March 7

In conjunction with the Ottawa VNL event, the fourth edition of the International Coaching Symposium (ICS) will be held from June 9-11, 2023 at the University of Ottawa (Montpetit Hall). This full "in-person" edition of the ICS will continue to provide exceptional professional development opportunities for both High Performance and Development coaches.
