Mission
St. Albert Wolverines (SAW) Volleyball Club is committed to providing young male and female athletes with high quality volleyball training in a climate that emphasizes mutual respect among players, coaches and officials.
We place utmost importance on the development of fundamental volleyball skills. These skills provide athletes with the necessary foundation to excel in high level competition. We emphasize the importance of winning, but we also instill in our athletes and coaches the values of integrity and character. If your child successfully joins one of our teams, they will have the opportunity to play throughout the year. However, its worth noting that while team outcomes are important, they are not the sole focus.
The focus of Wolverines Volleyball Club is to work with athletes from a young age and to see them develop and grow throughout their career. We will hold regular volleyball skills camps between club seasons in St. Albert. This will ensure players get the guidance and training that they are looking for to remain top players in their respective ages. We will be limiting the number of Wolverines volleyball teams within our club which will allow us to focus our organizational abilities and maintain our attention to detail, providing the highest quality club volleyball experience possible. Parent involvement is required and encouraged which will ensure we grow together as we are looking to put your child first.
TRAIN TO WIN. CREATE COMMUNITY. LOVE THE GAME.
At St. Albert Wolverines Volleyball Club, we train to win. Every volleyball skills camp will be high intensity and will be focused on individual skill development. Every practice will have a focus and a purpose. Our coaches will provide player-driven instruction by assessing athletes’ specific needs and challenges on a daily basis. This player-centered approach allows the Club to develop athletes’ individual skills while creating team cohesion. Wolverines will work closely with all athletes, ensuring they all grow together as a team. We also strongly encourage our athletes to set personal goals and to hold themselves accountable. We will encourage our team managers to organize events with the participation of parents where all players can bond and get to know one another on and off the court. This new volleyball ‘family’ will focus on teaching respect and camaraderie with one another.
We love the game. We want our players to grow in their love for it, too. High-quality training leads to athletic excellence and paves the way to success on the court. This personal growth and team achievement ignite a player’s passion for the sport. As a community we protect that passion by valuing our players, by respecting them and acknowledging their gifts, by lifting them up when they’re down, and by celebrating their successes. The positive relationships that we nurture at SAW foster feelings of being a part of something bigger than just volleyball – we want to be a SAW family. And we hope our players always look back on their time at SAW with fondness
