2026 MARCH BREAK BEACH VOLLEYBALL CAMP

registration now open

We are once again returning to Cocles, Costa Rica for our outdoor March Break training camp between March 16-21, 2026. Like Canada, Costa Rica is part of the North, Central America, and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation (NORCECA), making it a valuable and relevant training environment for our athletes. Our previous trips have proven to be highly meaningful, which is why we’re continuing to build on that experience this year.

This is a great opportunity for families to enjoy a March-break vacation, while their child develops their beach volleyball skills just in time for beach competition.
(Please note: Parents are responsible for their child outside of training sessions while in Costa Rica).

TRAINING CAMP OBJECTIVES

  • To maximize the opportunity to train outdoors

  • To experience and expose ourselves to the beach volleyball culture of one of our continental colleagues.

  • To introduce athletes to out-of-country training and competition routines.

  • To support individuals and partnerships in the preparation of any Provincial/VC International Trials in the upcoming summer.

SCHEDULE (TBC)

There will be two sessions a day with one recovery day during the week with a single session. Exact schedule will be provided once registration closes, and we have a clearer idea of number or athletes attending.
