2026 Summer Programs

 Our premier competitive program is designed for experienced volleyball athletes looking to grow their beach game, train with their partner, and learn to compete at the highest level. This program is suitable for athletes who are committed to play on the OVA beach tour and qualify for and compete in the Ontario Beach Championships. Athletes join the high performance team as partners. Strong volleyball fundamentals, beach technical and tactical foundations, and a strong focus on increasing general speed, endurance and athleticism are at the core of our program. We train twice per week starting mid-June on Tuesdays and Thursdays. While school is still on in June, we train from 4pm to 6pm and starting July practice moves to 9am to 12:00pm - still on Tuesdays and Thursdays. 

Program Cost: $700 per athlete for the season, which includes: Training 2x per week, Team DMBeach sports bra, team players tank, and a team practice shirt. A coach or coaches will be at all Ottawa OVA events and both provincial weekends to provide coaching support. Team athletes also get discounts on Deadman’s Beach run clinics and on additional DMBeach gear.

*Note* With most of our HP athletes returning from last summer and with the desire to keep our coach/athlete ratio low - there are limited spots for new athletes to be added for 2026. Without the ability to hold tryouts, new partnerships are added on an application basis. We consider various aspects when adding new teams including experience and program need (balancing different age groups). While we would love to be able to take all new teams, finding coaches to grow the team responsibly is a challenge. If interested, please apply, we will do our best to accommodate every team and keep growing the game in Ottawa!  Our new competitive program is also a good option for athletes looking to train this summer. See below. 

  This new program is designed for athletes with some beach experience who are looking to level up. It is also idea for volleyball athletes with some indoor club experience but who are new to the beach and looking to learn the game, develop skills and start to compete. Working with experienced beach volleyball coaches, Compete team athletes will not only take their overall volleyball skills to the next level - they will learn to play beach the proper way. With a foundation built on overall physical literacy, physical fitness, volleyball fundamentals - team members will leave the summer as better athletes and better beach players. DMBeach Competitive is our most flexible program as we accept athletes to join with partners and also individually (athletes signing up with a partner will get to train with partner). This is a competitive program and is designed to help prepare those who do want to compete in tournaments (Maxvolley, OVA, etc), however there is not the same commitment as with our HP team to qualify for and play in OVA Beach Championships (although still recommended). The summer season for the Train to Compete team will start July 2nd and will take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 1pm to 4pm and go until August 20th. 

Program Cost: $550 per athlete for the summer session, which includes: Training 2x per week, Team DMBeach training tank, Team practice shirt. Team members will also get discounted rates on any Deadman’s Beach run clinics and on additional DMBeach gear.
