Durham Attack Enjoys Community-Based Success
launches exciting new season
 
Durham Attack Volleyball Club has just completed its most successful season ever, with hundreds of players attending its house league and summer camps, its girls’ teams finishing top 3 in Ontario in every age group and winning 5 out of 7 Provincial championships and 4 National championships, and numerous players awarded spots on Provincial and National teams. But what excites the club the most is the growing interest in volleyball and the complete program they offer athletes in Durham Region.
 

Janet Cairns, director of the girls' program, reflects "As we plan for competitive team tryouts in September, we are equally excited about the new programs we will be offering. We have had incredible success this past season, and it has caused us to think about our roots. Ultimately the success of our club is due to the ability and passion of our coaches, and their ability to instill a love for volleyball in our players at a young age. As we have thought about this, we've decided we want to give more back to the community, especially to new and developing players, as this is where it all starts."
 
According to Scott Burrows, Club president and director of the boys' program "Volleyball is one of the most popular sports in the world, and is growing by leaps and bounds. We are seeing more and more interest in playing, with hundreds of players in our summer camps and in our house league. We are unique in Ontario in that we cover the complete spectrum."  Durham Attack's program includes:
 
  • Our new SPIKES program for girls 7-12, a perfect lead-in to our house league. SPIKES is an Ontario Volleyball Association-sponsored program designed to teach volleyball to the starting player.  This is a first in Durham Region.
  • House League, our Volleyball Canada award-winning recreational program that teaches skills and love for our sport, building players who can progress to our competitive teams. Coached by our coaches and our national-calibre players, it offers a great environment for developing skill in a sport that is truly fun to play.
  • Competitive teams designed to accommodate players at various skill levels, ranging from new competitive volleyball players, to seasoned players wishing to compete at higher levels. Our goal is to provide teams for all levels of competitive players.

2005-2006 Results

Ontario Provincial Champions: 12U, 15U, 16U, 18U, 20U; 14U Silver; 17U Bronze

  • Coaching clinics and certification programs.

Volleyball is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Durham Attack was the most successful volleyball club in Ontario and perhaps in Canada, this past season, with our teams winning 6 Provincial championships and 4 National championships. Whether you are a new player to the sport, a seasoned house league player, or are interested in competitive teams, the club has a lot to offer. It is truly a powerhouse in the sport of volleyball.
