Common Questions
What does “hitting focus” actually mean?
Every skill in the game gets trained — passing, setting, serving, defence, blocking — but the week is organised around attacking. Approach, arm swing, shot selection, and the first and second contacts that make a good swing possible. It’s the part of the game most athletes want more reps at and get the fewest of in a normal club practice.
My athlete is a setter or libero. Is this still worth it?
Yes, and for a specific reason. A hitting-heavy gym means a setter runs more balls and reads more attackers than she would anywhere else, and a libero digs live hitting all week rather than coach-tossed balls. Both leave sharper than they would from a session built around their own position.
What level is this for?
All ages, all levels, boys and girls — from athletes new to the game through club and varsity prospects. Every drill is scaled to the player. If your athlete hasn’t settled on a position yet, this is a good week to find out what fits.
Can we come for a single day?
No — this one is full week only. The week is built as a progression, so Monday sets up what happens on Friday, and dropping in and out breaks that for the athlete and for the group.
Will my child be safe and well looked after?
Coach Saba is a Registered Physiotherapist (MSc PT, University of Toronto). Loading, recovery, and injury prevention are built into how the week is structured, not bolted on. Liability waivers are required, medical and emergency details are collected at registration, and coaching ratios are kept low.
How do I pay, and is it refundable?
Registration is a short form, then payment through secure Stripe checkout. Your athlete’s spot is held the moment payment goes through and you’ll get a confirmation email straight away. Fees are non-refundable — spots are limited and once one is held it’s off the board for another athlete. If your athlete can’t attend due to injury or illness, email me directly.
Do you run anything during the school year?
Not weekly. Coach Saba coaches two teams in season — Seneca’s women’s program and Venom Vipers 18U — so there’s no room for privates or clinics once the season starts. Camps run over the school breaks instead: winter break, March break and summer. Join the list below and you’ll get those dates first.
