PrepElite246 Volleyball Academy is based on the core principles of  the Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) system where children and youth (and adults) need to do the right things at the right time to develop in their sport or activity – whether they want to be volleyball players or other sportsmen/women.

Often times in sport we learn different skill-sets at the wrong stage (a late stage) of our learning curve, hence it becomes difficult to grasp certain movement skills that were meant to be trained at a young age.  Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) describes the things athletes need to be doing at specific ages and stages. Developing an active start and learning the fundamentals from young will provide children with the basic skills to be active for life and provide the foundation for those who choose to pursue elite training in sport.

First involvement stages in any sport is critical, we want to provide an experience that is positive and enjoyable, one which will not only improve the knowledge and abilities in the sport of volleyball but also one which prepares athletes with the understanding and the importance of developing life-long skills - such as discipline, respect, teamwork, communication, self-esteem - that can be useful in their future progression to becoming elite; whether it be in volleyball or in any other aspect of their lives. The life-skills component is necessary to not only create well-rounded athletes but to mold athletes to work harder, smarter, and with an aim to get better in sport and in everyday life. Our commitment goes beyond the game of volleyball and focuses on the game of LIFE.
