Team Ontario 2010

Once again, I was selected as one of the Team Ontario coaches this summer. I really love coaching this team as it gives me another opportunity to work with high level athletes, but at a different developmental stage than the university program. This year there are two teams being selected for the NTCC's being hosted in Toronto. The NTCC's are also a selection camp for the Junior National team. There are some really strong athletes and I wouldn't be surprised if more than a couple made the team.

The team is:
Zach Doherty
T.J. Sanders
Robert Wojcik
Jori Mantha
Alexander Dawson
Scott Wilson
Alexander Elliot
Gabriel Aaron
Stephen Holmes
Austin Smith
Hamza Chaurdry
Tyler Scheerhoorn
Marc Wilson
Michael Tomlinson
Ben Nikkel
Phil James
Patrick Strzalkowski
Phillip Goyer
Jeremie Lortie

First MAC 16u Tourni

The MAC 16u Boys volleyball team competed in the Provincial Cup on Saturday, November 28th at Bill Crothers Secondary School in Markham.
The boys began the day facing the #1 seed Ottawa Fusion Red. In their first match as a team, the boys were victorious 2-1 with LS Pawel Jedrzejewski (Cathedral High School) contributing a team high 12 kills.
Next, MAC faced Durham Attack, unfortunately for MAC, they were defeated 2-0 in a hard fought battle with LS Mark MacFarlane (Ancaster HS) picking up 6 kills.
In the final game of pool play, MAC faced Riverside Rage. With inconsistent passing and serving, MAC was defeated 2-1. RS Daniel Madarasz (ACMT) led the way with 6 kills.
MAC would finish 3rd in their pool and play the Ottawa Mavericks. Despite coming out firing and playing some of their best volleyball of the day, MAC was defeated 2-0 and would settle for the consolation side of the draw. 3 solo blocks from M Eric Bonnay (Cardinal Newman) would highlight the MAC defence.
In their final game of the day, MAC would face the Colts. After winning the first set easily, MAC was put under pressure with some consistent serving from the Colts and would lose the second set. In the final frame, MAC would rally from 14-11 to win the deciding set 16-14 at the hands of some pressure serving at the end of the match by S Zdravko Ivankovic (Abby Park High School).
MAC would finish the tournament 6th. Overall, the tournament should be looked upon as a success, the boys now have OVA experience and will look to build upon it in the coming months before their next tournament.

Jamaica Volleyball Association Development Plan 2009 – 2013

Vision
“To transform volleyball into a major sport in Jamaica, where it is actively played in schools, college/universities, communities, clubs and the workplace, and the national junior and senior teams consistently qualify for major global tournaments”

Mission statement
“To be a National Sporting Organization that contributes positively to the athletic pride of Jamaica through the sport of Volleyball locally, regionally and internationally”

Objectives
1. To establish a platform of unity and mutual understanding among all affiliates of the JaVA.
2. To establish formal and functional management structures at the club level.
3. To promote the game of volleyball at the primary school level in order to develop early interest in the sport before children commit to more popular sports.
4. To facilitate the qualification of a National Male Beach Volleyball team for the 2012 Olympic Games.
5. To widen the base of high schools involved in JaVA competitions by targeting more schools as well as to organize competitions based on age groups to target children in their early high school years.
6. To put in place infrastructure to facilitate the playing of volleyball within communities with a view to:
a. Target unattached youths, primarily those in Jamaica’s Inner-city.
b. Increase the popularity of the sport among adults in these communities, which will not only attract their children but also guarantee greater support from parents.
7. To procure the services of a qualified and competent Technical Director.
8. To lift the standard of play at all levels within JaVA through the development of coaches and referees.
9. To organize reliable gym access to train national teams. (If necessary, coordinate with other National Sports Team/Organization).
10. To acquire a dedicated home for the JaVA with suitable infrastructure for the training of National Teams.
11. To participate in all compulsory Regional meetings and events.

EXECUTION
Year 1
1. Activities that encourage all concerned to invest in the operations and administration of the JaVA will be undertaken. This will include the establishment of an atmosphere that encourages the expression of opinions in an orderly and respectful manner. This goal will be married to a requirement for all Affiliated Clubs of the JaVA to put in place functional management structures that mirror that of the JaVA. The JaVA also intends to liaise with the JOA to source training for these administrators.
2. The administrative requirements of the Constitution will be upheld and Executive and Section Members held accountable for delivering on their responsibilities. Amendments to the Constitution to further serve the interest of the Association will be initiated.
3. The tremendous accomplishments of the National Male Beach Volleyball Team commands a special effort on the part of the JaVA to seek financial support for them on the road to the 2012 Olympics in London.
4. Subject to budgetary constraint, significant focus will be placed on the development of a Primary/Preparatory Schools Programme. The roll-out programme is intended to target ten (10) schools within the Kingston Metropolitan Region. The programme initially assumes that no school at this level is full equipped with the equipment needed but already has a court that can be transformed for the playing of volleyball. It is intended in subsequent years to expand the programmes across the length and breadth of the country. This programme will also seek to contribute to the national effort to target the unattached youths, primarily those in the inner-city, and get them engaged in productive activities. As such, collaboration with national agents of social intervention is necessary.
5. Again subject to budgetary constraint, JaVA intends to broaden the base of High Schools currently involved in the High Schools Competition. This will be done in collaboration with ISSA. This programme, along with the Primary/Prep Schools programme, is inextricable from the National effort to identify, prepare and qualify a youth team for the 2010 Youth Olympics and beyond. Both school-level programmes will be supported by clinics for officials, coaches and players.
6. JaVA intends to capitalize on the recreational potential of and the low per capita cost associated with the sport of volleyball, relative to some other sports, to introduce community-based programmes. The overall goal will be to widen the net of talent available to the Association to compose National Teams. A sub-Committee will be formed to manage the execution of this programme. This initiative also shares the goal of contributing to the social development of our nation.
7. Central to all the development programmes above is the acquisition of a suitable Technical Director (TD). This person must have the mental diameter to homogenize all the efforts of the Association to ensure the overall vision is achieved. The investment in a sound TD will be bolstered with investment in the development of our coaches and officials at all levels.
8. Lifting the performance of the national teams is integrally tied to the quality of training they are afforded. The physical infrastructure available to them needs to be consistent with with the outcome we desire. To this end the JaVA will negotiate with the Ministry of Sports, other national agents thereof, sponsors and, where necessary, other national sports associations to get reliable and convenient gym access for the national teams.
