OUR SUMMER BEACH PROGRAMS ARE OFF TO A TREMENDOUS START!

On July 6 this summer, after 4 months without sport, we safely returned to the beach to play some volleyball again.  While our beach program is definitely different than in years gone by, the enthusiasm, laughter and joy from our athletes and coaches alike, is unmistakably and refreshingly unchanged.  

Our programs this year are run in accordance with the Ontario Volleyball Association's, "Outdoor Volleyball Return to Play/Training Protocols" and abide by all Provincial and Municipal Public Health requirements.  And while we are unable to partake in some of the friendly and popular competitions of the past, our amazing coaches have designed programs to ensure that all athletes are still challenged and most importantly, have fun each day.

The health and safety of our athletes, our coaches, our volunteers and our staff is of the upmost importance to Leaside Volleyball Club.  All participant families in our Beach Programs will recieve a copy of Leaside Volleyball Club's, "COVID-19 Return to Play Beach Volleyball Protocol".  As it is recognizably our collective effort that will ensure the safest and healthiest Return to Play for everyone, Leaside Volleyball Club requires all of our members to adhere to the same regulations and protocols.

 BY POPULAR REQUEST, WE ARE DELIGHTED TO BE ADDING :

AN ADDITIONAL WEEK OF BEACH VOLLEYBALL PROGRAMMING (AUG 17-21), &

​**NEW THIS YEAR** - 2 WEEKS OF HIGH PERFORMANCE VOLLEYBALL TRAINING (AUG 24-SEPT 4)!

All of our programs this year are run in accordance with the Ontario Volleyball Association's, "Outdoor Volleyball Return to Play/Training Protocols" and abide by all Provincial and Municipal Public Health requirements.  Our amazing coaches have designed programs to ensure that all athletes are challenged and most importantly, have fun each day.

The health and safety of our athletes, our coaches, our volunteers and our staff is of the upmost importance to Leaside Volleyball Club.  All participant families in our Beach Programs will recieve a copy of Leaside Volleyball Club's, "COVID-19 Return to Play Beach Volleyball Protocol".  As it is recognizably our collective effort that will ensure the safest and healthiest Return to Play for everyone, Leaside Volleyball Club requires all of our members to adhere to the same regulations and protocols.

Update:  June 27

With the City of Toronto moving into Stage 2 of the Province's reopening on June 24, 2020 and the opportunity for outdoor team training to resume, we continue to be optimistic that our beach volleyball programs will be able to run as planned and previously scheduled.  Respectfully however, approvals from the City of Toronto and the Ontario Volleyball Association are still required before we can proceed.  With this being said, we are still moving forward and working hard to ensure that we will be ready for a July 6 start should we receive a positive decision from our governing bodies.

Rest assured that as we look forward to the opportunity to resume volleyball training this summer, the health and safety of all of our athletes, coaches, volunteers and staff remains our number one priority.  Earlier this week, our Club remitted a COVID-19 Return to Play Protocol to the Ontario Volleyball Association for their review, feedback and consideration.  This plan documents the many health measures that will be put in place to mitigate the risks associated with COVID-19 and to try and create the safest environment for our collective Return to Play.

We recognize and apologize for the difficulty this ambiguity creates in trying to plan and schedule summer activities.  However, we commit to keep you posted as soon as the decisions are made.

Thank you so much for your patience and understanding through all of this.  
The support of our Club has been tremendous and we are sincerely grateful.

Update:  June 1

Regrettably, our After School Beach Program and Week ONE of our Summer Beach Training
have been cancelled this year due to COVID-19. 

However, we are still accepting registrations for Weeks 2-6 for our Summer Beach Training!

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of our Leaside families for your ongoing and heartfelt support.  
While we are in the midst of some very uncertain times, we have seen so much positivity and warmth through the support of our
Leaside Volleyball community.  So, on behalf of all of us, we thank you.
Stay safe, stay well and we look forward to seeing everyone again in the coming weeks and months.
