Canadian Elite Academy

*ELITE 1* Competition Training Session. (Tuesday and Thursday, 6-8 pm)

Players register individually but must have a partner to join the program. Individuals cannot join this program, and the Academy will not match players with a partner. Do not register if you do not have a partner you will be attending sessions with. This Elite Academy training program prepares athletes to compete at the Saskatchewan Beach Doubles Provincials. ( The registration must include a team of two athletes of similar age. (17U - 18 U)

The cost of this program is for two athletes, and it will cost 600 dollars for the doubles team and 300 dollars for individual athletes. The Summer of 2025 will be the eighth year this program will run. Last year, we had a full slate of athletes, and to give every athlete a fair chance to join this program, we are announcing the program early so the ones who want to make sure they have a spot on the elite beach program can join. The program is designed to train athletes (17- 18 years of age) in Beach Doubles. The athlete must be under 19 on the first training day (June 1, 2025). This session is for the athletes who have played one year or two years of 2's beach volleyball. If you have participated in the Canadian Elite Academy Beach program in one or more of the past years, you should be in this level of training if you have played more than one year of CEA Beach 2's beach program and are older than 16. This program is designed for athletes competing in Beach 2 tournaments. This is not a level for athletes looking to train for their indoor season. Serious athletes who want to compete in the Provincial Beach 2's tournament at the end of the season.

At least one member of your team must have *ELITE 1* status to join this program. The second member should be looking to gain their status. Preference will be given to the team with two *Elite 1 statuses.

General Information

Players should attend practice sessions even if their partner cannot attend. Each player is required to bring high-quality beach volleyball to the sessions.

The policy for absences for beach sessions is that for the athletes who are away for family activities or other reasons, the partner can bring whoever they want to replace the missing player (a sister, brother, parent, or friend). 

If both partners are missing simultaneously, there are no issues. A single player always needs to bring a partner, as most drills are set up for the nature of the 2's beach activities. This replacement player has to be organized by the athletes, not the coach. No refund has been given for missed sessions.
