Our Approach

Every athlete is different and at different stages of their development.

We identify what each player needs and adjust our sessions to help each athlete build on their strengths and eliminate their weaknesses.  

We assess each athlete and determine the level of focus they need in these six areas to help them become complete beach volleyball players. 

To the right, you’ll see the training focus of one of our more advanced athletes who is heading to the University of Hawaii in August to play Beach Volleyball.

Speed and Explosiveness:

Getting you from point A to point B in the fastest way possible. We develop speed at all phases of sprinting; initial acceleration, acceleration, top speed, and deceleration.

Stamina:
 Beach volleyball requires incredible endurance. Players burn more than 500 calories per hour and play several matches per day in tournaments. We structure our practices to be more intense than gameplay so games feel easy by comparison. Our drills are run at a pace that keeps our athletes constantly moving so we don’t have to spend time on just conditioning instead of working on skills.

Skills and Technique:
 Developing player techniques is essential to their development. We teach our athletes the right way to perform every skill and explain the benefits of doing so. Our athletes leave our program with a keen awareness of what they do right or wrong and most importantly “why” so they can continue to build on their development.

Game Strategy:
 Understanding the game is key to your development. Identifying your opponent’s strengths and weaknesses and learning how to exploit them is the difference between good and great teams. We teach our athletes how to keep their opponents off balance and out of the system while executing the plays that give them a strategic advantage.

Agility and Change of Direction:
Arguably the most important element in Beach Volleyball. We develop a skill set that eliminates unnecessary movements and creates an explosive and dynamic athlete to achieve fluidity and deliberately accurate movement.

Mental Toughness:
The will to win is what separates those who finish on the podium and those who don’t. Our training demands that our athletes push themselves so they learn what they’re capable of. This builds confidence and belief that every match can be won if they just fight harder than their opponents.

Testimonials

Marc's program is amazing! In a few weeks I was able to improve my game tremendously. He will point me on the right direction and will make me work on small details to improve my game.

Training is always fun and people are very friendly. Highly recommended!!!
Vlad IurascoDoctor
I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to train under Marc (and Jordan). The volleyball sessions are not only fun but also provide a fantastic workout. I appreciate the constructive criticism, which helps me improve my skills, all while receiving positive encouragement that keeps me motivated.

Thanks to Marc, I've grown as a player both on and off the court.
Jen Ming
Marc's coaching and training sessions are awesome! The sessions challenge you physically and mentally but are also fun and engaging. The sessions are great for beginners but also very beneficial for advanced players.

I wouldn't have progress so much and so fast without Marc's coaching. 
Christina Van GorpChange Manager
One of the main things I love about Marc's training is the intense technical and mental work. You have to have solid basics to build your game. The drills are exhausting and fun. Critique and encouragement go hand in hand to ensure small changes make huge improvements.

I always feel tired, both physically and mentally after each session, and I always look forward to the next one!
Liva Tessier
Marc excels in breaking down complex technical movements into understandable and manageable parts, making even the most challenging skills accessible to players of all levels. Through detailed demonstrations and tailored drills, Marc provides clear, step-by-step guidance, allowing me to refine my technique and improve my overall performance.

In just 6 months, I saw an immense improvement in both confidence and skills on the court.
Kellie MacleanSoftware Developer
Coach Marc is a fantastic coach. He approaches the fundamentals in an easy to understand and fun way. Each session with him improves my skills while also teaching me strategic game play.

The bonus to his coaching is how he makes you laugh while running your ass off. You couldn’t ask for a better coach.
Trish LoyeAuthor
These clinics are minute for minute the fastest I’ve ever improved at any sport. Having never received volleyball coaching before, I’m getting incredible value from the specific, detailed, and personal instruction.

Marc certainly knows his stuff and how to convey it to his athletes.
Gavin Mercer
I absolutely love Marc's clinics! The intensity of these practices will definitely raise Calgary's volleyball comptetion level and force me to become a better player.

At first I was very confused with all the drills, however Marc was very patient with me (and others) and it surprisingly didn't take too long until I got into the routine. With each practice it becomes easier to follow instructions and focus on the drills.
